£7,360 per day.

That is what is being paid to test and trace consultants .

And before you say its lefty propaganda its in the Daily fucking Heil.

This is an absolute disgrace and it shows that outsourcing to the private sector is just a way of funnelling taxpayers money to Tory party donors. Taking of taxpayers what's happened to the Taxpayers Alliance they should be all over this surely. the fucking bent cunts.

How anyone can support that fucking clown Johnson after this is beyond me, they are using an epidemic to enrich themselves, the immoral set of bastards. By God I hate fucking hate every single one of them, the self serving twats.

Its a disgrace but lets not even start to pretend that private contractors wouldn't be getting paid similar and making a killing off the back of this crises regardless of the Government.

That isn't whataboutism before some clever arse claims it, its just fact.

If nepotism and corruption in the awarding of the contracts can be proven then lets charge accordingly and take the corrupt fuckers to the cleaners but numbers like this wont be anything out of the ordinary and if the general public knew just how much money is washing around for a select few on a daily basis, we would probably be ringing our French friends and asking to borrow a few Guillotines.

Its what the Government are paying private contractors. Rather than use PHE and local expertise they employed SERCO and Boston Consulting Group. If they were doing a decent job then there might be a case for it but last week 16,000 tests went missing, there is not enough capacity and 32,000 contacts of covid affected patients went untraced. A further 17,000 were not reached within 24 hours. 8,800 of those tested positive were not traced at all.

There are also more than 1000 consultants at Deloittes working on it being paid as much as £2,360 per day.

This a fucking national scandal, taxpayers money being thrown down the drain

I completely agree mate. We are telling UK citizens who scrape by on minimum wage that they cant work but dont worry, we will give you 2/3 d's of what is already an amount that you simply can not live on comfortably whilst dishing amounts out like this to a select few.

My point is not that its right though mate because it isn't, its how the world is. Its unfair, its wrong but make no mistake, regardless of government some fuckers would be making the same killing during the crises of the back of the misery of millions.

Yet Rishi Sunak won’t continue the furlough scheme to protect people’s jobs because he believes British “taxpayers don’t want us to pay people for not working” (or some similar comment).

Think he needs to revise that viewpoint because we’re paying for a track and trace service that time and again, is shown to not be working!

Even if they can justify not continuing the furlough scheme, what’s the rationale for ignoring the need to provide free school meals to kids - who through no fault of theirs, are in poverty?

It’s all about ideological choices.

 

[BigOscar]

If it was only a handful of people and they were producing fantastic results then I'd say that's a bargain. But it's not a handful and they are fucking shite, so it's just typical fucking corruption that is constantly going on with these government gigs

 

[Blue Hefner]

Maybe if we paid £15k we’d have got some decent ones. Always trying to do things on the cheap, that’s our problem........

 

[TheRemainsOfTheDave]

Are these actual pay rates to the consultants or consultancy fees? Not the same thing.

 

[casserole of nonsense]

A shepherd was herding his flock in a remote pasture when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced out of the dust cloud towards him. The driver, a young man in a bespoke suit, Gucci shoes and Ray Bans leaned out the window and asked the shepherd. "If I tell you exactly how many sheep you have in your flock, will you give me one of them?" The shepherd looked at the man, then looked at his peacefully grazing flock and calmly answered "yes".

The young man parked his car, whipped out his IBM ThinkPad and connected it to his iPhone X, linked to a NASA page calling up a GPS satellite navigation system, scanned the area, and then opened up a database and an Excel spreadsheet with complex formulas. He sent an email and, after a few seconds, received a reply. Finally, he printed out a 130-page report on his miniaturized printer.

He turns to the shepherd and says, "You have exactly 1586 sheep. "That is correct; take one of the sheep." said the shepherd. He watches the young man select one of the animals and bundle it into his car.

Then the shepherd says: "If I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my animal?", "OK, why not." answered the young man. "Clearly, you are a consultant." said the shepherd. "That's correct." says the young man "but how did you guess that?"

"No guessing required." answers the shepherd. "You turned up here although nobody called you. You want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked, and you don't know fuck all about my business. Now give me back my dog."

Your usual argument mate.
'They're all the same so no-one's to blame ' ( especially in your case the Tories ).
Wake up.
Smell it.
