Government wastes £100M of taxpayers money for nothing
The government has wasted approximately £100M of taxpayers money on 4 asylum centres that never got built when it changed its policy and scrapped its plans. Furthermore, the Home Office has attempted to bury this information and hide it from the National Audit Office and the general public. Although the figure of £35M is available for the Bicester centre which never got built, figures are not yet available for the cost of the other 3 centres which never got built, but it is understood that they were to cost less. Therefore, I have been conservative and knocked off £10M from each of them. The cost has been incurred by entering into contracts which the government then breached and had to pay compensation. Why on earth did the government enter into contracts and commit taxpayers money before it had finally decided whether to go ahead with the policy?
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.

ReplyDeleteHaving wasted all that money probably explains why they had to introduce legal advice call centre style via CDS Direct.
