(not satire – it’s G4S!)
I’ve written before about how incompetent G4S was even before the Olympic Games debacle:
Oh dear! G4S were in charge of security at airport which let 9/11 hijackers slip through…..
and also this, erm, interesting scandal:
G4S Embassy Guards Sacked By US Government For Drinking Vodka Out Of Each Others’ Bottoms……
But anyone remember the story from 2011 about a firm which was so incompetent it tagged a prisoner’s false leg so he was able to leave it at home and break a court-imposed curfew:
G4S sacks pair who tagged offender’s false leg
Yep. Also G4S.
By the way, Nick Buckles the former head of G4S earned £5.3m in salary and share schemes plus bonuses, pension etc etc etc for being in charge of such a well-run, professional, efficient outfit and when he quit, he received a total financial pay off worth around £16m.
That would be 16 million quid of our money.
