Tesco repays £585 million Business Rates Relief

[John52]

As have Primark

But who in Government gave it to profitable businesses in the first place?

and should the long suffering taxpayer have to rely on them to be public spirited enough to pay it back?

[John52]

Maybe the middleman who got £30 million for passing on a bum deal PPE contract will pay it back *-)

Sainsburys and Morrisons now voluntarily given us some of our money back

Maybe Asda, Aldi & Lidl will too????

 

But why do we have to rely on reputable businesses to pay back what they should never have been given in the first place?

 

And what of the £billions paid out secretly to disreputable cronies for hugely over priced, useless / non existent PPE

When will we get that back?

Kingfisher now returned theirs

But why were they given it in the first place?

And what of those who won't return it because they have no reputation to lose?
