I’m hearing that the new emergency service radio system is going to cost over three thousand million pounds more than originally estimated. What items had been overlooked which cost over three thousand million pounds? What level of incompetence do you need to get a cost estimate wrong by over three thousand million pounds? It’s way beyond unbelievable.
These idiots have also purchased 6 twin engine police aircraft, a multi million pound hangar and training facility at Doncaster Airport and entered into a fixed price, use it or lose it, maintenance and refuelling contract with the airport. The CAA have told them that the aircraft are unsuitable and never will be suitable for police operations and they will not allow them into service. For the past two years they have been squandering eye watering amounts of money, and still do so today whilst the aircraft sit in the hangar and staff & pilots sit around with nothing to fly in. How did that happen? Who is being held to account? They had plenty of warning and advice, but ignored it.
And there are some who want to place even greater responsibility into the hands of these people by withdrawing from the EU. The evidence that we are not sufficiently competent to survive outside the EU is everywhere.
