Think you may have heard they were re-thinking the proposed contract.

They will rethink it and dress it up a bit to look better,then do it anyway because they cant afford not to.

This will, as said go nowhere.

Remember when they were just called Group 4? (http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2003/aug/15/immigration.immigrationandpublicservices)

Didn't make any difference 9 years ago, why would anyone take notice now?

Oh and see this too (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G4S#Criticism)

Because we're apathetic when it comes to voting and using our MP's for what they should be doing.

Also just look at the number of MP's who were 'bred' to be MP's and never had a proper 'normal' job in their lives.

Ben Gummer is one, although he doesn't to be as bad as some, but he has no political clout. Never done any graft as far as I know.

Don't like this one

Even Harry & Wills do proper jobs in between Royal duties

Well our MP only just got 52% of the Votes (not mine)
Has no clue over the motor cycle issues from last year either.

Another career MP, how can she be your local MP if she contested the Nottingham seat?

Same with ours

I think they should publish their CV's along with this other stuff & see how many local jobs they've held down.

Anything with a high capital and operating expenditure is fair game to Govt. Somewhere relatively benign like Norfolk could conceivably be the proving ground for expansion of privatisation of the Police Force.

Screw that, if it happens, I'll fight that BS if I can and if we lose I'm outta here.

Do I need my anti paranoia pills?
