        @BBCBreaking After this debacle, I expect #G4S to rebrand again... Just like they did after the "losing prisoners" debacle...

        @BBCBreaking These are the risks you take (with public money!) when you gamble on a private firm rather than using the public sector!

        @BBCBreaking So management get paid 57 Mill just to supply 10,400 staff. Even if they fail. How many extra short term special constables?

        @BBCBreaking If that's true (I admit to being somewhat sceptical) around £94 million needs repaying by G4S not including estimated losses.
