Listening to the Chief Executive of G4S, the security company that's failed miserably to abide by its contract over the Olympic Games, one can only wonder how this organisation has grown to be the second biggest private sector employer in the world.
Nick Buckles may well be most appropriately named, for he certainly did 'buckle' when questioned on the 'Today' programme yesterday. Indeed, he demonstrated no real knowledge or understanding of the contract to supply thousands of security staff at the Games; he didn't know when problems had first been identified and didn't even know whether security staff would be required to speak fluent English.
Given the high profile nature of this contract, one can only assume that Mr Buckle will not long be in his job. Whoever is directly responsible for this debacle, the buck ultimately stops with him.
