After G4S, who still thinks that outsourcing works?
Confidentiality clauses and fiendish complexity in contracts for public services create moral hazard on a grand scale
…”Exactly a year ago the Cabinet Office published its "open public services" white paper, the masterplan for dismantling the state, with "any qualified provider" the default deliverer of virtually every public service. The Cabinet Office is the ideological hub of the Cameron government's mission to dismantle the state. For fear they might only get one term, as governments everywhere are routinely ousted, they are dashing to secure that indelible legacy. The plan is to outsource so much that reconstructing public services will be impossible in future. Seeing how easily their cuts rubbed out Labour legacies, they have redoubled their intent to leave an ineradicable stamp with this biggest wave of outsourcing ever.
David Cameron warned any civil servants standing in the way of bidders: "If I have to pull those people into my office and get them off the backs of business, then believe me, I'll do it." If the G4S slogan, "Securing Your World", is embarrassing, Cameron's state-demolishing mission faces even worse reputational damage.”…- Britain Today: People’s democracy? Oh no!
