| Personally I don’t see the problem, why not force the unemployed and those claiming disability benefits to fill the shortfall? For heaven’s sake those in wheelchairs can even provide their own seating as they man the entrances.
If we could only find some well meaning, professionally run, French organisation that could provide us with the names and addresses of those fit for work.  |

Listening to the phone ins last night and this morning it sounds like a huge cockup by G4S rather than the availability of a workforce.

They are, but for that they do need to attend a half day course, and be able to get to at least L3 on Space Invaders. |

Quite.
I'm surprised Dally hasn't been on moaning about how inefficient, costly and just plain useless they are.
Oh, wait... |

The problem is too much regulation in this sector that's stopping the free market from solving this issue. G4 should be allowed to pluck anybody off the street and throw them into the job. Instead, they have to train them to a standard which is just a waste of time and money. I mean, we're only talking about one of the biggest sporting events in the world and preventing terrorism and all this red tape is doing is stopping them taking short cuts. Cut the red tape and then maybe perhaps we can run this competition on the cheap as it was surely intended.

| Some Tory git on radio today said 'there are plans to privatise the police and G4S have not done their chances any good' 
I hope we are not going to see fat, sweaty coppers with GCSE grade F in 'general studies' on £12k anytime soon. |

As outsourcing is on the verge of popping up in this thread you might find this [url=http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2012/07/bain-capital-mitt-romney-outsourcing-china-global-techbit about Romney[/url interesting. Basically a pre-cursor to NHS outsourcing of services.

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. |
