Shelved asylum centre cost £29m
The Home Office has been criticised by a group of MPs for spending £29m on an asylum accommodation centre which was never even built.
Over £6m was paid to consultants for work on the proposed site at Bicester, in Oxfordshire, a report has revealed.
A termination fee of almost £8m was also paid to the contractor when the scheme was cancelled.
Is it any wonder the country is in a mess when the government cocks up grand style like this and the public has to pay for the mistakes and nobody is held accountable for the fiasco?
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.
The Government is just copying the antics of their American masters in bilking the Iraqi purse.
