How the London will look during the Games (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtfOnQS158E#ws)
G4S admitted yesterday that they only bid for the contract for the prestige ~ they never expected to make a profit.
They said they have so many Government contracts they felt "obliged" but in fact the reason they have so many other contracts with HM Govt and related bodies is because all the major players in the industry walked away from them. I know we did and at the time we were bigger than Group Four as it was then known.
Three companies (G4, Reliance and Rentokil Initial) were the preferred bidders when the prisons and prisoner transport were put to tender. I personally spent 6 months working on the prisons contract and then recommended to the board that we would suffer bad publicity if we got it. The word came down to quietly withdraw. We did and G4 got the prisons, Reliance got the transport of prisoners. Within two weeks of the takeover of the prisons G4 had their first breakout and a week later Reliance lost a load of prisoners in transit. Meanwhile I transferred to working on MOD contracts and picked up several £millions worth of business that went sweetly and was never any trouble.

I read on-line somewhere that they'd make Eight Thousand Pounds Profit per security guard! cussing:
It is very easy to calculate that a guard will only see £8.50 per hour gross and work say 45 hours and arrive at what looks like a hooge profit which is exactly the over simplification that Daily Mail readers like and MPs, Humphrys, Snow and co fall for every time....... but the ancillary charges virtually double that.
I'm told that this isn't a photoshopped job
Which fine would you prefer - driving in a bus lane, driving in an Olympic lane, or driving without due dare on the wrong side of the road?

Continuing his quest for the title cynical political operator of the year, Hunt has used the phone-hacking scandal to bury bad news.
At 11am – literally the same moment that the CPS were announcing charges for Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson – the Culture Secretary revealed the embarrassing news that 1,200 extra troops would be called up to provide security at the Olympics following the G4S debacle:
They're weren't... seriously. It was going to be Thursday, it was going to be today, now it is today. Twas like a rudderless ship
