Trump's been in the media seizing PPE from France, Germany, Canada and acting like a pirate, so l... What do we all think about UK PPE supply
What I think about UK PPE supply the U.S. allegedly seizing German masks didn't actually happen
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/03/mask-wars-coronavirus-outbidding-demandThe German reports said the masks had been made by a Chinese producer for the US company 3M, but the firm issued a statement on Friday night saying: “3M has no evidence to suggest 3M products have been seized. 3M has no record of any order of respirators from China for the Berlin police. We cannot speculate where this report originated.”
.
Ironic because Govt also seized testing kits already allocated to Scotland and said Scot NHS not allowed to bid for its own kits or ventilators.
The Scottish Government themselves have also denied this:

Jesus. You're in such a rush to be smug that you don't even know what you are posting. The Tweet you linked to says that the Scottish Government denied it had given permission for the UK parliament to dictate their testing regimes and to assume control of procurement.
The statement posted in the tweet does not deny that tests had been diverted, but asserts that it will continue to source and conduct its own tests. Sturgeon has said the Government are investigating, and seeking reassurances from Hancock. Hancock cancelled that meeting, then Sunak came out in full denial mode later in the day.
Obviously, with Hancock's track record it isn't a desirable or politically expedient thing to be chained to Tory policy when people's lives are at stake. Health is a devolved area, Public Health England and Westminster have no purview over the Scottish NHS. So, out of two of us, who the fuck is the one posting fake news by trying to pass that tweet off as something it's not? Welcome to the world of BBC style reportage and whatever shite interpretation of 'facts' you come up with.
Edit: here's a sky news report giving context to the actual Scottish Government denial (not the misleading description of it in the tweet you linked to) that it had acquiesced to Whitehall taking the lead on deciding who gets testing kits, hope that's real enough for you, ignorant prick.

Companies being instructed by Government to only sell to England at the expense of Irish, Scottish and Welsh NHS and care homes?
Story was broken by BBC Wales about 5days ago but rest of the media-including main BBC site-has been silent on the matter. Ironic because Govt also seized testing kits already allocated to Scotland and said Scot NHS not allowed to bid for its own kits or ventilators.
This glorious Union, eh?
