Me? Cause trouble?
I would have liked to have seen a massive fine levied at them for incompetence. Surely they have defaulted on their contract for their massive failure in supplying security for 2012?

Yeah, the £50 million is what they will lose on the total £284 million contract
liamt said:they didnt make it clear. i assume we get the 300mil back + 50mil for the army?
they have said it will cost them 50mil
liamt said:ah. so we are still paying them the majority of the cash even though they didnt come through?
no wonder we are financially ****ed in this country
From what I understand, they are still getting paid part of the contract, the £50 million lost will be from penalty clauses that will LOCOG invoke
They are searching bags on entry. Probably important or it wouldn't be done at all. Also isn't there a perfectly good thread in the politics section?G4S have been very cute in recruiting quite a number of infuential people at the top, ex senior police etc. who have all the right contacts which obviously buys them credability and influence. This is not high level security we are talking about however, it will be all the minions showing folks to the seats and toilets. The master plan and the real security will be going on at a different level.
