Summary
The article criticizes misleading "rage-bait" narratives about UK government contracts being "Top Secret," pointing out that the UK government actually publishes its awarded contracts publicly on Contracts Finder. The author argues that while one might criticize a company's competence or pricing, claiming contracts are secret or conspiratorial is false, as the information is openly available.
