Confident I could help out in some way, (You know, retired ex-military, high level clearance, still fit etc etc) I offered my services to G4S over a year ago - and didn`t even get an acknowledgement.... Ho Hum - I guess my inability to speak Polish or Swahili went against me....
What this whole debacle says is that providing "Aid to the Civil Power" is still a major but very unpredictable issue. Clearly (to me anyway) the impending sacking of 20,000 troops is somewhat ill advised.
So...A message for that nice Mr Cameron and his cronies is:
"REPENT - BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!"
..or maybe it is too late already?
