What that really means is that they've gone and asked Newcastle Utd "Who do you use because our lot are fskin useless".

Erm, they use (or used to) G4S up to the end of last season, as far as I'm aware they won't be doing it next season.
Part of the issue is (and I'm not excusing G4S here) is NUFC had a core of part time stewards numbering about 250 who covered the season between them, the number of stewards LOCOG have requested and the shifts meant that the regular crew shrunk to a handful in reality, G4S just wouldn't invest in employing and retaining the staff, they expected them to train for free, travel for free and more importantly sign off if they were claiming or take leave from their jobs without giving them a guarantee of hours/pay.

Oh I know that. You'd think that would've been one of the first things they did at all the existing Olympic facilities

And in that one piece of information, you've pretty much summed up so much of what is going on at present, and why the country remains in recession.
