Olympics security: G4S failure 'completely normal'

[The Spartan]

A lot of my friends who are Soldiers are providing security at the Olympics and trust me they are well trained, they do events all the time just because they're not always seen doesn't mean they're not doing the job. I'd be their with them if I hadn't landed this gig in Switzerland, training for the Olympics has been taking place for months we knew a while ago this was going to happen I'm surprised that they only just broke the story now in all honesty.

I don't see what all the fuss is about. I'd rather have well trained soldiers doing the security than thousands unwilling dole claimants, Eastern Europeans and students who've had a few days training and been given a sheriff's badge.

Tories - out of touch, Trust fund darlings? Never!

No wonder why skilled and smart Eastern Europeans did not want to work on this event. Not with your attitude.

[hyperD]

Which is why I find naïve displays of partisanship today more demoralising than I thought we could ever get to.

Looking specifically at you, Alf W.

Quod erat demonstrandum.

Jeremy "Berkshire" Hunt has, unfortunately without irony, summed up the problems with modern Britain rather nicely there.

If it works out well maybe they'll leave troops on London's streets permanently.

It's the new normal.

You think those soldiers are trained to do that job?

Having soldiers do such job makes the country look like 3rd world state with El Presidente heading it.

The only difference is that in 3rd world soldiers actually get paid well.

And I voted for them.

Now you know that a vote for the Liebours, the Liberals and the Tories is a vote for the same authoritarian, fecked up EU bollocks.

There's no point voting for the Trinity of Tossers.

Which is why I find naïve displays of partisanship today more demoralising than I thought we could ever get to.

"Jeremy Hunt has said that it is "completely normal" for a contractor to fail to deliver on a major project as questions continued about the inability of G4S to provide security officials for the Olympic Games. "
