G4S scandal shows the danger of placing principles over morals

Conservative principles say that everything the public sector can do the private sector can do a better job than the police. A moral approach is to say who can deliver the best security and the inevitable answer is the police there is no organisation in the country more competent or experienced at providing security and it is them that should be running this with support from a variety of security companies not just one.

Unfortunately Conservative principles say that it is the private sector that is better at everything so the experts where sidelined for a bunch of expensive clowns with a bad reputation. Having private companies run services is as mad as nationalising the car industry both have been done from principles and both are abject failures.

Nick Buckles of G4S was asked why they are still claiming the fee despite their massive cockup his reply was "in principle it is part of the contract" once again principles trump morals. Principles are a cancer in politics it is time for politicians to do what is right not what matches there principles.

Government sets out proposed orders to rename Asbos, still cutting police.

Thegovernment is proposing to bring in:

• A "community trigger" - to force the police, councils and other agencies to act if five households complain, or the same individual complains three times (so if your neighbour complains about you quickly get in three complaints and you win)
• A Crime Prevention Injunction - allowing agencies to protect victims from hooligans and vandals at short notice (useless without more police)
• A Criminal Behaviour Order - to stop convicted criminals from engaging in particular activities or going to certain places (AKA ASBO)
• A faster process to evict anti-social tenants (useless without more police)
• A faster process to deal with irresponsible dog owners (Useless without more police)

That is Theresa Mays grand scheme rename ASBOS bring in a easily abused and inflexible "trigger" system and a few other ideas that are useless in the face of police cuts. Theresa May you are a failure.
