Yes they did know it was well reported they did not work. It's odd how people can just rewrite news to fit a narrative :/

You need to understand what these tests are ... they are a recipe of chemical components ... so even if the particular recipe didn't work, the components are still items that can be used ... they are not wasted Last edited by bitontheslide; 18-04-2020 at 08:12 AM. |

Honestly I would understand being annoyed about it if it was 2 billion, even 200 million, but 20 million is such a small amount in terms of government spending its just not worth getting wound up about. Its like being annoyed at your partner for "wasting" 50p on a new flavour of crisps and binning them because they tasted like crap.

The idea that they knew for sure they didn't work but bought them anyway is an odd one... For what possible reason? For fun?
Even if it was 50/50 or less that they could find some usable function for them it would be a reasonable gamble. The idea that they knew 100% that they were useless and just bought them anyway, presumably specifically to annoy people, is a bit of a stretch. I mean yeah the Tories are arseholes but that would be a bit much. |

It's an opinion not a direct quote cherie.
I have posted articles in relation to these useless antibody tests before, I'll post them again if you like it's really easy.

Scientists have discovered that although the tests can show that a person has been infected with a coronavirus, they cannot adequately differentiate between the virus that is causing the current Covid-19 outbreak and other types of coronavirus –which just cause colds. They found that a range of devices all produced far too many false positives. “It does seem surprising that these tests were bought with a contract that wasn’t contingent on their usability,” Clark told the*Observer. “In learning lessons through this crisis, it’s important for future contracts to recognise this risk.” https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.the...th-chiefs-told

that's completely different to saying they KNEW THEY WOULDNT WORK....presumably they were the non negotiable terms of the company offering the tests, and rather than gamble with them not working they gambled with them working rather than doing nothing kizzy

They didn't and dont work that is a fact, they are not fit for purpose,they never were. There has never been any indication that any appropriate test exists. Kathy Hall, director of Covid-19 testing strategy at the Department for Health and Social Care, revealed last week that the government was working to recoup money paid for the tests “where possible”. Asked iwhether payment was made on the assumption that the devices worked, she said: “Our overall strategy was to secure tests in order to get them validated. That meant ordering minimum volumes in order to secure them. And we wanted to make sure we had the opportunity to do that, so that was the strategy we took, yes.” A better strategy would have been to wait for a sufficiency accurate test and buy those imo.

you clearly said here they knew they didnt work and its not me just interpreting your post as TS's response shows he interpreted in the same way There is a difference between knowing they wouldn't work full stop, and they might work... riginally Posted by Cherie View Post Its not like they spent 20 mil knowing they didn't work, they took a gamble which would have paid off if it did work...onwards and upwards Yes they did know iYt was well reported they did not work. It's odd how people can just rewrite news to fit a narrative :/

Nope you missed the point the cut in that year of 15 million in funding led to significant cuts to services and a large increase in council tax.
