The current G4S situation, is going a long way to discredit all of the above assumptions.
The company were commissioned with the role of supplying security staff for the games, somehow they fell frighteningly short of all their targets with 1,000’s of additional security staff needed. This has resulted in Hundreds of police officers from across the UK being drafted in to help with the security crisis. These officers I’m sure have way important things to do then learn agonizingly boring procedures. Also this will be costing the government more money with additional over time and accommodation.
We are within two weeks of the opening ceremony and this shouldn’t be happening, although ministers have [of course] insisted that the “London 2012 Games would be secure and the failure of G4S is no more than a hitch”.
This fiasco does well to create that uncertain feeling in the pit of your stomach.
There are some serious questions that need to be answered here.
Firstly, how on earth did this go undetected for so long.
Secondly, who’s heads are going to roll on both the G4S and Government side.
Finally, what else can go wrong!! Excluding the weather.
