From the outside, looking in, I think that you lads and lasses have been completely shafted for this by the politicians.
What about those with leave with families booked over the school summer holidays - are you in anyway compensated for the costs if you have leave cancelled ?
Meanwhile for the army guys, are they suddenly looking to get the TA out of their regular workplaces for two months (which might include a couple of chaps at my place) just to overcome the issue that G4S have completely messed up their organisation due to complete incompetence with recruitment, and desperation to pay minimum wages while charging LOCOG maximum prices ?
