Foreign Troops Deployed in UK for Olympics

‘Olympic Security’ seems to be a joke.  After the CPUK debacle, we now find that G4S got a £250 Million Contract to supply security staff for the Olympics but now say they can’t provide the full complement required.  In addition, they are only being fined £50,000 a day for their failure under the Contract terms.  Teresa May is finding a 25% shortfall in security staff two weeks before the start of the games.  She said she was ‘working hard’ to see that security was in place.  Doesn’t look like it.

Teresa May Statement 11.30 12 July 2012.
