“Over the 7 year period since London was awarded the Games our security arrangements are less than four weeks behind with a fortnight to go; around a mere 1-2% overall.” said Home Secretary Theresa May in Westminster today “Whilst it’s true that there’s been a slight recruitment slippage, current UK Army redundancy plans will mean a greater pool of trained security professionals will be available to G4S by mid-August.”
Responding directly to Labour MP Dennis Skinner’s suggestion that ‘This bloody shower of toffs couldn’t organise a piss-up in a brewery’ Mrs May responded “May I remind the honourable gentleman that less than two years ago the coalition inherited, from HIS Government, a situation where absolutely no front-line Games security staff were in post at all” adding, to loud cheers from Government benches “and don’t forget Skinner, I’m the fucking Home Secretary. And I know where you live.”
