.. Our UK government has just had a £40 million lesson in bad tendering. A look good on the books won tender regarding the West Coast rail franchise was likely to expose the UK to a loss, if the companies who set up the train operating company were not setting the franchise enough capital to cover going bust.

The tendering now needs to be repeated!!

(V): The public are foolish if they think the top campaign donators aren't paid back through being awarded contracts and such, it happens on both sides.The new law where PACs don't need to disclose contributions is insane.I work in a business that requires sponsors,while I try and ignore it,the interests of these sponsors are not totally out of mind in reqards to issues that arise.

The Col: Of course they are. How else did for years our building firms manage to fix prices for years on many big public construction projects... It's the size of the bribes that has changed, just like the size of footballers salary has over here. It's gone to a level where the public say.. "tradition be damned".. at least here to some degree.

"I work in a business that requires sponsors,while I try and ignore it,the interests of these sponsors are not totally out of mind in reqards to issues that arise."

Of course, it's a partnership. Your giving them good advertising, but at the same time is it the type they want!

...Ok that's a basic look, but you know what I mean.
