    I did listen to the interview and it was an American lad who spent some time in China in 2017.

    so unsure if true or relevant at this time. But also not going to dismiss.

    I think a good use for that money as it was money the Labour government would never have had if it wasn't for the courts...

    I heard they've cut funding or someone has cut funding for domestic abuse centres, excellent use in my mind, chance for Starmer to make a statement to the good and make good political gain of this court victory.

    Abused PPI money for abused victims.

    ****in right n all <ok>

    Michelle Mone gonna have to sell that luxury yacht now to pay back what she robbed this country of when Boris was handing out blank cheques to his mates

    Glad to see Labour going after these crooks.



    "PPE Medpro put NHS staff and patients in danger with substandard kit whilst lining their own pockets with taxpayers' money at a time of national crisis," Streeting says.

    "Today's court ruling makes clear we won't stand for it and we're coming after every penny owed to our NHS.

    "This government will ruthlessly pursue any company which tried to exploit the pandemic for their own ends while our health service was fighting to save lives.

    “PPE Medpro must now repay the government and the taxpayer £122 million. My department will work closely with PPE Medpro Limited’s administrators to recover everything we can."

    I wondered what he was referring to when he mentioned this.

    It was this

    Lammy was referring to allegations first aired by Channel 4 News over a decade ago and repeated in a book published in 2022 by the journalist Michael Crick, One Party After Another. Crick had unearthed a letter from Chloe Deakin, formerly an English teacher at Dulwich College, the public school attended by Farage in the 1970s. Deakin had been appalled by a decision to make young Farage a prefect.

    She said in her letter to the master of Dulwich College, David Emms, that she had no personal knowledge of Farage but went on to recall the testimony of other members of staff, including those who had described the young man as a “fascist”.

    She wrote: “Yet another colleague described how, at a [combined cadet force] camp organised by the college, Farage and others had marched through a quiet Sussex village very late at night shouting Hitler Youth songs; and when it was suggested by a master that boys who expressed such views ‘don’t really mean them’, the college chaplain himself commented that, on the contrary, in his experience views of that kind expressed by boys of that age are deep-seated, and are meant.”

    Another colleague had “described his publicly professed racist and neo-fascist views; and he cited a particular incident in which Farage was so offensive to a boy in his set that he had to be removed from the lesson”, she wrote. “I have often heard you tell our senior boys that they are our nation’s future leaders. It is our collective responsibility to ensure that these leaders are enlightened and compassionate.”

    And a string of allegations by his peers at the time :

    Stuart Dunbar, a classmate of Farage in his first year at Dulwich, recalled that the future politician “had this thing about the National Front [the far-right movement], and would run into classrooms and chalk NF in the board, but obviously that was his initials as well. But also, he got on really well with Paul Cousins, the black kid, so he didn’t have a problem with that at all … I do remember asking him once why he said those things, why he didn’t like black people? And what about Paul?” Dunbar did not recall the response. A former English master, Bob Jope, recalled staff being concerned that “Nigel had voiced views that were not simply right wing but views that were racist”. He recalled throwing Farage out of a class for shouting, “shut up you Jew”.

    An unnamed Jewish pupil claimed that he remembered Farage sidling up to him to say, “Hitler was right”, or “gas ‘em”, in a reference to the Holocaust, although he also said Farage was “quite capable of being reflective, and intelligence and quite charming”. In 2019, an anonymous article was published by the Independent newspaper from a Dulwich old boy that claimed Farage would frequently cry out, “send ‘em home” and sing “gas ‘em all, gas ‘em all, gas them all”, to the chorus of George Formby’s wartime rendition of the song Bless ‘Em All.

    Another former student said Farage used to talk about voluntary repatriation and would refer to our “black and brown friends”. “He was a deeply unembarrassed racist,” another contemporary, David Edmonds said. “He used words like ‘wogs and ‘pakis’. He didn’t like Jews very much and came out with the usual antisemitic tropes. We could never be friends, but although I am Jewish – and this may seem off, and I would feel very differently today – I didn’t dislike him. He relished rubbing people up the wrong way.”

    TLDR summary:

    Staff at Dulwich college thought Farage was a Fascist

    He marched through a Sussex village singing Hitler youth songs

    His publicly professed racist and neo-fascist views

    Nigel had voiced views that were not simply right wing but views that were racist”. He recalled throwing Farage out of a class for shouting, “shut up you Jew”.

    Jewish pupil : Farage sidling up to him to say, “Hitler was right”, or “gas ‘em”, in a reference to the Holocaust,

    “He used words like ‘wogs and ‘pakis’. He didn’t like Jews very much and came out with the usual antisemitic tropes.

    If he did and those people were called to give evidence, then he'd probably lose

    Best that somebody trying to hide their racism doesn't bring to to court tbh <laugh>
