According to a Commons watchdog:
The government’s flagship test-and-trace system has failed to achieve “its main objective” to cut infection levels and help Britain return to normal despite being handed an “eye-watering” £37bn in taxpayers’ cash.
Still, it was only 37 billion quid, eh? |

"Germany's version seems to have cost in the region of £1bn so far.
Quite a difference (plus it was up and running quicker)."
Hmmm I wonder what accounted for such a vast difference. Maybe Germany hasn't had a deeply dishonest and corrupt government... |

You can’t get anything with £37 billion these days "
You could get loads of petrol for that. Ah... maybe not. |

Was that 1 of his lovely little quotes? I hadn't even heard him say that one. |
