and the public sector gets accused of wasting tax payers money.
I do hope this gets considered as the privatisation of Police services and education continues.
on top of which, serco source the tagging equipment from another arm of sercvo which is registered overseas, allowing them to dodge tax on their profits anyway.
You're clearly confused. The public sector is full of slackers spending their days spaffing taxpayers money up the wall, while fraudulantly claiming expenses.
Private companies in the public domain are a model of ruthless efficiency, breath-taking competence, and are as honest as the day is long
Outsourcing stuff to the Private Sector has nothing to do with saving money, it's all about enriching their friends and ensuring a role as a non-exec director of a Private Company when they next lose an election.....
G4S' new motto;
ruthless efficiency, breath-taking competence, as honest as the day is long.
Pick 2.
binners, you're becoming a parody of your previous parodical self
oh... I forgot outstanding value for money!
Either way, given the last 15 months, I sense another Name Change coming for the Cuffwits formerly known as Group 4.
I do hope this gets considered as the privatisation of Police services and education continues.
Like it was after G4S's outstanding performance at the Olympics?
And a fanatical devotion to the Pope and nice red uniforms, too.
Well, they now have the SFO to deal with.

We should be so lucky
Grayling is going to get a bit sweaty over this one. In adition to the claiming errors they were also overcharging by 1000% which not only did he know about but one of his private sector hard nose negotiators working for the the ministry signed off on before going back to the private sector to work for guess who...
But surely the Home Office should've had a control to compare the invoice against its own list of prisoners?
Basic control fail.

saw a tweet this morning saying that the Home Office staff responsible spent most of yesterday (literally) crying in the toilets.

Well I was hoping that Tony Blair might be surprised. But no, you're probably right - no one is quite that stupid. Specially a highly successful self-serving careerist like Blair.
Grayling is going to get a bit sweaty over this one.
Really?
[i]He has also taken action within the justice ministry after disclosing that his own officials became aware in a limited way of some of the problems in 2008 but failed to take adequate steps to address them.[/i]
So, who was made aware in 2008, surely the minister at the time must have been briefed - and they reckon that this might have been going on all the way back to 1999...
So you know what the Tories defence is, don't you!
How long before a whistleblower reveals that the surplus was being shared with the Home Office staff who agreed the contracts?
Serco are being given more & more NHS contracts - thereby bringing their special kind of efficiency to healthcare, as they did with out-of-hours cover in Cornwall.
