This lightweight quilt is Amanda’s response to her research into the laughably named “Operation Moonshot” .

This VIP Lane allowed the Health Secretary (Matt Hancock) to ignore his own Dept of Health & Social Care guidelines when supplying Personal Protection Equipment.

Instead of boosting the NHS infrastructure he awarded billions of public funds to private companies – some with close personal ties and some with NO PPE Experience.

– Amanda’s words –

The mismanagement of the pandemic by the Government made and still makes me so angry, millions and millions of public money wasted, in order to line the pockets of their ‘chums’ and also benefit themselves. Their priority was “What’s in it for us?” It should have been how many lives can we save by properly supporting the NHS and Care homes? So much hypocrisy and corruption.

I was horrified when I started to research this and have tried to illustrate the scale of the corruption on this quilt. The mismanagement of the pandemic by the Government made and still makes me so angry, millions and millions of public money wasted, in order to line the pockets of their ‘chums’ and also benefit themselves.
