So profits matter more to the company than people.

Hardly news.

Interesting.

Wonder how widely that'll get publicised?

Don't the NHS outsource stuff already? And pay private hospitals etc. etc.

The government is in the process of turning the NHS into a commissioning body only.

In the interests of the bank balances of themselves, their mates in private healthcare and various big businesses – and out of a hatred of anything to do with the state (except for military adventures, of course).

Quote:Last night it was also claimed that G4S's recruitment problems may have been exacerbated by the Home Office's delays in vetting candidates.


So we'll have an investigation, everybody will blame everybody else, nobdoy will recollect where or why they did what or when, and it will as ever actually be no-one's fault.

Quote:Some [troops] will be forced to cancel family holidays while others have recently returned from deployment and will be going almost directly into checking bags at Olympic venues.

Some of the troops put on Olympic duty have just received redundancy notices, including members of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders.

You really, really couldn't make it up.

Quote:According to documents shown to the Public Accounts Committee, of the £284m, £125m constitutes G4S's "program management" and "operational costs", which rose from around £10m when the contract was renegotiated.

Another example of using such unfeasible, eye-watering, mind-numbingly huge figures that people ignore them. 'The bigger the lie...' etc.
