Sunday Times and the Profiteers

The Sunday Times has the following exclusive story:

The owners of the ExCeL centre in east London are charging the NHS millions of pounds in rent to use it as a temporary hospital for coronavirus patients.

The ExCeL, owned by the Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company (Adnec), is charging the health service £2m-£3m a month, according to industry sources.

The Nightingale Hospital London, the first of several temporary facilities planned, was opened by the health secretary, Matt Hancock, on Friday. 

Focussing on one profiteer, the Sunday Times continues to defend the capitalist system which makes this profiteering inevitable.
