Contract blunders

Published on 16/07/2012 00:00

There have been successive “cock ups” no matter which party is the government, because many of the elected do not have the talent to look in to contracts, and, neither do they ever get a glimpse of them

The highly-paid Whitehall Civil Service, anchored from ever being fired, along with their untouchable pensions, rising year by year are those who should carry the can.

It was the civil servants, undoubtedly, who went through the papers and allowed this security company G4S to be given the multi-million pounds role to protect us from terrorists.

Likewise, a few months ago another company, given millions of our money was appointed to set up jobs, and like G4S, conned us as well.

Don’t always blame the politicians for the appointments, however, they are culpable for not keeping on top of the job

But let’s cull the country of those behind the scene who give us bad advice.
