The Home office affairs committee report into the G4S fiasco
has recommended that G4S forgo its £57m management. Which is no surprise as
they failed to manage the security situation. It has also recommended that G4S
compensate those who received training and accreditation as security guards but
where not actually given an assignment due to G4S incompetence.
At a Home Affairs Committee hearing, Mr Buckles told MPs
that he expected Games organisers to pay his company "exactly in
line" with the £237m contract.
Far from paying the reaming cash the government should be
seeking compensation, unfortunately this fiasco is just another example of
dogmatic thinking in government. The idea that the private sector can provide
services cheaper and more effectively than the public sector is as ridiculous
as the idea that you can successfully nationalise the car industry.
