The 'Hacking' Trust. Now with a name like that... Hmm... Never heard of them, but I think this might not be the best of PR moves they've made. I see they invest in medical centres as well - just saying.

They need to have every last licence removed

What utter lowlifes , affluent 'property investors'(whatever that means,it certainly doesn't imply they are key workers) trying to buy their way to the front of the queue ahead of the elderly and infirm.

Absolute scum bags.

Yeah this happens. I once held a meeting with the powers that be from Pfizer begging for their unused Aides Drug for a research hospital in Kenya for abandoned aids babies that got me nowhere.

If there’s any unused they should pull people of the street and offer it to them

Can we just take a minute to say what a legend this nurse is for publicly shaming the hacking trust. whatahero

Disgusting, they should be fined £1m.
