G4S

That is all you have to say, G4S. You know immediately what it refers to; a failure on Olympic security. The scandal, according to the papers rages around the lack of required numbers, who knew what, when. But what I particularly liked was that apparently, someone realised in December last year that we didn't need 2,500 security guards, but in fact 10,000. How does that happen?

To be fair to G4S they had offered roles to lazy, feckless, work-dodgers and how were they to know they wouldn't turn up for training (or even work)?

Thought for the day though; why so little fury? Security of course is one of the major obsessions of our age, you know, to prevent terrorism. But the government don't seem too fussed, or angry with G4S. The security company itself is mild in its criticism of the government and has quickly put its hands up to failings. And Labour just seem to be going through the moaning motions. There is more to this than we currently know.
