A little while back the government announced it could not afford all these expensive Border Control Service sorts and so gave them the sack. Then someone realised that there was likely to be a few people trying to get stuff into the country to do some nasty stuff. The ports all needed to be checked again, so they hired a private firm SERCO to run the same checks civil servants used to do and save a lot of money.
Well a few little facts arrived, the machine checking for radioactivity broke and no one noticed, this could have been something to do with many of staff not knowing how to use it.
This cuts to the heart of the public private debate, the neoliberals loathe the public sector doing anything.
The public sector got paid to do a job, the private sector were cheaper but didn't actually do the job. So paying them was the same as not paying them -the job still didn't get done.
Someone got something for nothing - SERCO.
Doesn't this sound like so much of the private sector.
Oh what they were checking for was the material to make a "dirty bomb" to contaminate olympic venues with radioactive material and possibly kill thousands.
Enjoy the olympics every one.
I'll be the one in the NBC suit.
