So if you where in charge you wouldn’t do any tests for covid? And instead spend 36.6 billion on an investigation
It was tongue in cheek. Referencing the fact that spending that much money on a system that doesn't work is nothing but corruption on a grand scale.

I think you know that. Are YOU happy that 36billion of taxpayers money has been given to Pro tory donors and companies instead of being used to develop a track and trace system?

Do you think the uk should have done no tests?
 
The vast majority of the money spent is for the tests
I'll ask my question again because you have ignored it: are you happy so much has been spent for so little? In comparison to countries with a working track and trace system? You seem to be taking the odd stance of trying to defend government corruption here. I hope that's just coming across wrong, for your sake

I’m not defending the government. Just pointing out that the money is mostly spent on doing tests. That’s why it’s called test and trace not track and trace

Now you're ignoring what Huddbro is posting. You really should read more.
 
That’s not true unfortunately. Consultants is a huge cost along with backhanders to ex Pub owners and the like...
Yeah it also includes other costs but some people seem to think if we didn’t have the app it would of saved 37 billion

it's "have" I've told you once.

How much, as either percentage or total cost, do you believe has been spent on testing? and how does that compare to other countries?
