Christ. Another glorious victory for the private sector...

I hate to reason that this makes sense on some level, but it does to me. Serco have huge call centres & call handling staff geared up for quickly taking on new contracts. Imagine trying to establish this from scratch via a new company, or within the NHS itself, at this point in time.

How many people do the government-that wonderful agency of rapid change and adaptation-need to hire in a matter of days to do the contact tracing/testing leg work throughout the UK?
Or are we just in another G4S Olympic games situation where we'll pay through the nose for a Tory donor to fail to deliver via the private sector then the army will be asked to step in?
