“The question is, does G4S pay more than the probation service? If so jump ship quickly

With your experience, in 12 months you'll be a director

"The Governments dependency on private providers of public services" .
In short : A repugnant, odious abdication of public morality and duty stemming from the senseless application of Neoliberalist ideology.
We (the UK citizen who is not rich) shall be paying the price in all sorts of ways, for many years to come.
thumbsdown

As much as i would love to take on TESCO (and avoid prison), I have my hands full trying not to be put in the hands of the private sector. G4S and SERCO appear to be out of the race (they both got caught with their hands in the till. That said there are many more private companies who woul like to run the probation service, with my luck TESCO will be one of them....

Well, arriving at TESCO's in Beverley after a trip/morning to HMP Full Sutton (near York). I thought I would buy lunch (from TESCO's), sit in the market square, enjoy a bit of civilisation and ponder the content of my impending report. Being healthy I then walked in to my office (Beverley) with a view to collecting my car later that afternoon. "4" hours later returning to my car and then home.

14 days later and having just got back from Holiday I read my mail and discover that I got a parking ticket, issued on behalf of TESCO and using ANPR the company note that I stayed beyond my welcome and should now pay them
