That's conjecture but I do believe that the Police and Military should provide the bulk of the security at the Olympics anyway - only very junior positions; with limited access to venues themselves and supervised by Police Officers; should be provided by G4S.
There are serious concerns about their vetting procedures from what I've heard. The State should handle all such issues - the same applies to A4E and the like - it just isn't what private companies should be allowed to do.
If G4S are handling anything there should be Police embedded within them at all times with discretion to take control of them should it be needed and with the authority to dismiss any personnel that are incompetent or untrustworthy. They could arrest them if need be.
The real question is why pay a private company 300 million to provide "security" for the Olympic games when you got at least 5000 useless pillocks in uniform doing sod all else but sit on their butt and cost us a bloody fortune.What the hell do these "military personnel" do all bloody day?
More money from us to a bunch of greedy fekers. Whats new?
I did not want anyone drawn from todays London population.Many of them are not to be trusted.I am more than happy to see our army doing it. Being born into freedom I dont have that inbuilt distrust of soldiers many immigrants may have.
It'll probably have to be. Soon there won't be any public sector left to step in and clear up the mess.
you seem to have your finger on the pulse.
yes more stinking corruption.
we need a moratorium on all government contracts!
Could it just be possible?
G4S put a huge tender in for security at the Olympics, knowing that they have not a hope in hell of fulfilling it but take an "educated guess" that when the plop hits the fan, the Government steps in with troops to "bail out" G4S at the tax payers expense.
G4S get load of grief from the media, but the Government, those who were conned, defend them, whilst G4S broadcast they will lose ￡50 million, out of a ￡300 million contract, however they will not pay wages, transport, uniforms, subsistence, administration the tax payer will ! Offset this huge saving against the ￡50 million, and G4S are smiling, drinks all round.In fact G4S will not "lose" ￡50 million, they will not "make" the ￡50 million, the two are different based on the fact you cannot lose something you never had!
The Government continue to defend G4S, despite the fact they appear to have been hoodwinked ! ! wonder who will be the Governments preferred supplier of security services in the future?
Could it be G4S?
