Did Theresas May really believe that G4S would overshoot their target? And was Nick Buckles really in the dark about how badly his organisation was managing?
Now, I happened to have dinner with an ex-City of London police officer at the end of April. He had been considering taking up a role and had talked the possibility through with a number of his colleagues. His verdict in April was:
(a) There will be a huge shortfall in numbers;
(b) The recruitment and training process is a shambles.
I leave you to make up your own mind.
Mind you - I think I'd rather have troops undertaking security details than temporary staff who have had just 4 days training.
