Title: C(r)apita
Post by: Nick on July 18, 2011, 12:07:19 PM

Capita (and also Serco) hoover up big Govt contracts and have been doing so for years. They make squillions, screw up at every turn and pay themselves handsomely. They are private companies reliant on taxpayer funded contracts.

The Educational Maintenance Allowance was introduced by NuLabour (£30 quid a week means tested) for 16-18s who stayed on in education.

Cameroon ended the EMA.

Capita are getting £26 million in compensation for the cancelled contract  cussing: cussing: cussing: cussing:

Yet another contractual deal signed up to whilst "Prudence" Brown was in the chair. Unfortunately there are a lot of these about ....

AND
Don't even mention the Passport Service  cussing:
