The blood for transfusion was not screened for HIV, hepatitis and other illnesses , so what should save the patients life was in fact a ticking time bomb , it affected thousands and was the biggest medical fuck up , people died or have been left fighting with terrible illness

just to add to the other post. It's being going on for decades (since the 70s) being brushed under the carpet waiting for people to die to reduce the compensation. It's a similar story to the Post Office one.

The markets are taking the budget badly.
The Pound has fallen 0.66% today and nearly 3.25% since the start of October.
Borrowing Cost have risen accordingly.

Nothing to do with buying the rumour and selling the news. Many investors will have made a few quid capitalising on its recent gains.
Not only that but much better GDP figures from the Eurozone will have strengthened the Euro v the Pound.

Infected blood to people gave them hepatitis aids etc and passed it on to their kids/families unknowingly all covered up by government and nhs, lots already dead but it’s high because lots need the money for medical bills and they fucking deserve it.
