Remember a couple of years back when G4S and Serco were alleged to have overcharged on the electronic tagging equipment they were supplying to the Ministry of Justice? Well it turns out that even after the contracts were cancelled, the two firms were still getting millions from the government to supply the equipment. We report on the details.
Elsewhere, we take a look at the night time economy, where over-zealous councils, anti-drug hysteria and basic economics are driving many bars and clubs into the ground. There is also a strange effect where private security are being turned into night time policemen by councils pushing for more control.
It's a curious, rapidly evolving situation and one which hasn't been given much attention by the press, despite affecting millions of Brits every week. But pretty soon, a new generation of young people may need to fight for their right to party. | |
