privatised police 12 Years, 2 Months ago
|
|
I shouldn't be shocked but I am. This is sheer madness and especially with this G4S mob who have a woeful track record around the world.

the things that can wrong so easily...I had the responsibility to ensure a pal on bail signed on each week. I never realised these services in NSW were now run by GS4 working behind the counter.
Those signing on had to get a receipt each time as proof. My pal went and signed after I telephoned him. The GS4 twits said the computer was down..he never got his receipt..I dragged him back there a few hours later to get a photograph with 2 witnesses to prove he had tried.
The GS4 woman was very stroppy..insulting.
Sure enough 2 days later he got raided (6AM for Sun hacks!) and arrested...it took a day to sort the hassle out.Solicitor's fees etc.
more little steps to fascism and a private police force.

what a bizarre idea?
the police can simply hire civilian workers for office work.
Why out source to private corporations that have to make a profit and will cut corners in every way to maximize profits?.
It is of course the Noo Labour /Tory way that still proclaims despite the evidence that 'privatization' works..that mantra that says people when workers move to private ownership they are transformed into miracle workers.

so you admit the police force should be a 'business' and want to do away with police unions
just read about a prison in LA where the wealthy end up going because they can pay for privileges...hit & run driver in Bentley(left girl dead)...got 12 months..did 4 in country club style...had food sent in and cable TV.
the great problem with taking jobs away from civil servants who have job security and the promise of pensions is you remove the incentive to perform ..people don't want to stuff up their careers.
another privatisation scam and myth...the same people who run things when employed by the government will do better when they work for private corporation with no job security or union to protect them.
more wacky ITK ideas.

you need to explain how staying "within a budget" translates into privately owned for profit corporations doing the job cheaper.
But of course they never do , do they ?
like the dodgy firms claiming to put people into jobs cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of pounds (not a peep from you about that..just single mum diatribes) or the corps that have set up disastrous computer networks for the government departments have cost over a billion pounds (and they still don;t work)..NHS quangos, expensive badly run rail networks..
privatising sections of the police is a train wreck waiting to happen.
(and no 'loonie Labour' stuff please..Noo Labour/Blair.. same same Tory/Cameron etc etc)

Club overspends
Club goes broke
Club has to sell assets and cut costs

sounds like a better financial manager is needed.
even simpler economics...If you have a budget which doesn't need to leave a profit at the end..the lot can be spent on providing the service.
However you need to accept that people should be paid a decent wage. If you want the system to continue.
why the USA is heading for a collapse : rampant privatisation has concentrated wealth into less hands than before 1930. No money spread about...bye bye capitalism.
