 Dieselgate - smokie
The article says that VW have paid out more than €30b (about £27b) in fines etc.

For me, it puts it in perspective when this article (from end April, before furlough was extended) says the UK cost of emergency spending for this year will be in the order of £104b. Only 4 times as much. uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/uk-government-spending-coronavirus-furlough-cbils-debt-deficit-cost-how-much-tax-115020076.html

(I realise the VW figure is global etc but it just struck me what a huge amount it really is
