dufus Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Movianto, a private company running a warehouse storing personal protective equipment, including hundreds of millions of face masks and gloves, in Merseyside, a metropolitan county in northwestern England, has been sold in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, The Guardian reported on Wednesday. According to The Guardian, Movianto, a healthcare logistics and transport solutions provider that was involved in the management and the distribution of the stockpile, was sold two weeks ago for $133 million by its owner, a large US healthcare group, following an order by the UK government to mobilise the supply of all such equipment in a bid to curb the spread of the virus. In addition, the newspaper revealed that Movianto was also involved in ongoing legal disputes with a company that built the enormous warehouse in Merseyside, because its owner, Oliver Morley, denied Movianto employees access to the stockpile. As a result, last March workers obtained a high court injunction to counter Morley's actions. Though Movianto has maintained that the legal disputes and the sale did not affect its distribution of personal protective equipment, it has drawn public attention to the fact that the UK government decided to outsource the emergency stockpile's management, which, over three years, has been passed from a German-owned multinational company to a US one, the newspaper added. The report comes amid nationwide complaints about widespread shortages of such equipment with Health Secretary Matt Hancock insisting the challenge to be "one of distribution rather than one of supply". source UK government will not commit to a public inquiry on coronavirus response Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkyy Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 The UK Health Secretary (Matt Hancock) along with Boris the Prime Minister are determined to sell off the UK's National Health Service to private health companies in the USA. By the middle of 2019 the secret negotiations between the Conservative Party and said American companies had reached an "advanced stage". Since before Margaret Thatcher's time until now, it has always been the Conservative Party's aim to abolish the NHS and substitute it with Private Health care. But they're making an enormous miscalculation if they think that they'll get away with this. The British people won't stand for it and the whole country will revolt against this. Boris is good at singing the praises of the NHS doctors and nurses who only recently saved his life from Corona Virus....but he and his kind are only interested in MONEY/PROFIT/SHARES. Lying snakes are more trustworthy than these people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
