Wonder how many Tory MP's and ministers have financial interests in G4S

So we'll have an investigation, everybody will blame everybody else, nobdoy will recollect where or why they did what or when, and it will as ever actually be no-one's fault.





You really, really couldn't make it up.





Another example of using such unfeasible, eye-watering, mind-numbingly huge figures that people ignore them. 'The bigger the lie...' etc.

You know that spoof, comedy programme "2012" ...



Its rubbish isn't it, doesn't even tell half the story.

I can understand the delays, considering the rigorous vetting procedures employed by G4S

...and...Theresa May talks a load of bollooxx once again.

On Olympic security, can anyone explain why surface to air missiles on flats round the Olympic park are actually needed?



I would have thought that any air threat, real, perceived or whatever, would be dealt with before it gets within coo-ee of London. If any plane changes course without air traffic control authority, or fails to respond, the RAF will be scrambled, surely?

Is anyone giving odds on Parliament being recalled during the Summer recess?

What about London City airport? Too close to be intercepted by planes.

So Theresa May has once again been proved to neither have a clue what she is on about and that she isn't fit for purpose.

Newsnight made me laugh last night.

Quote of the day (paraphrase but near enough) 'We telephoned G4S and the goverment, No one was available......We then asked if there was a soldier we could speak too and they hung up'

Its probably still on iPlayer or C4OD (can't remember which) but I watched a documentary last week about the American Air Defence tapes for 9/11 which have just been released into the public domain.



Basically, despite being on high alert that day because they were running an East Coast training exercise in case of invasion by Russian bombers, they were unable to get any Air Force jets in the air before each of the four AA aircraft had destroyed themselves into public buildings - and the only time they came close was when they identified jet number three heading for the Pentagon and scrambled two F14's from a base not really very close to Washington at all which then proceeded to head 60 miles out to sea as thats what their procedures said they had to do in such an event (assuming they were being attacked by a conventional enemy approaching with bombers).



The ground control staff, who had to keep asking if this was the exercise or "real world" had to just sit there and wait for Fox News to tell them where the next attack had been.
