Is there not some way we can blame the EU?
Maybe not but it gives a good indication of the success the UK's largest companies will deliver.

I'm no economist, but this is bollocks.
Questions need to be asked about awarding contracts FULL STOP to private companies set up for the express purpose of milking the public purse.
Add in G4S, Crapita and all the rest of them.
The Public Sector is not a cash cow to be milked by spivs.. it is a genuine response to the needs of actual PEOPLE. Geddit?
I despair..
I'm sure you're right about that being the argument, but Carillion's pension fund was underfunded by some £600m, according to media reports, which the public finances are now going to have to pick up anyway.The argument goes that if the cleaner is contracted out, the tax-payer has no liability to pay their pension. Therefore the future burden on public finances is reduced by more than the initial cost.
Working for the DTI I never saw such massive wastage in any place I have ever worked. My missus works for an NHS Trust. Massive wastage there too. Sister-in-law works for the council. She is ashamed of the waste.
That's a fairly big chunk of the public sector. Which parts of the public sector are properly regulated and do not squander money, please?
Into four pages here, but I wonder if anybody here, or maybe anyone who knows of someone, who has lost out directly because of Carillion's demise. I read of this event being a catalyst for further crashes. This was one big conglomerate with fingers in pies throughout the world and their are many companies in the outsourcing sector which must be going through an introspective phase at the mo'.
Lol. You are like the left wing version of the daily mail.
Rich I genuinely am gob smacked having returned to working in the public sector how inefficient and badly led the sector is.
Well,up to a point, but the interesting bit for me was the editor of Building Magazine who said that downward pressure on pricing by government had severely reduced profit margins on construction projects. Carrillions margin was down to 0.8% and the industry average was down to 2%, nether of which was sustainable in the long term. Clearly in Carrillions case it wasn't, as they went bust.
Oh so we only need to compare to other countries' waste, not use common sense? Having worked in 6 countries in my life (UK, Thailand, Malaysia,Australia, France, Germany), I am happy to say that the UK is the least bureaucratic and easy place to get things done of all six. Rest on one's laurels if you like, but I see room for improvement.How much wastage goes into sending public funds to private individuals' tax free overseas accounts?
Isn't the NHS one of the most efficient health services in the world according to the WHO?
Why do other nations' governments buy up our services if they are an apparent waste of public sector funding Rich?

All grist to Corbyn's mill. The disaster of tory greed in action. Nationalise the lot.
