    How come that...

So and so is who you need to speak to about it". This kind of shit goes round 5 people before you even get half a story. And then it turns out to be completely inaccurate..

        In my (limited) experience of working for Capita

        I've seen people face an 'only a matter of time' risk of death or spinal injury doing what in principle is a completely safe clerical job, and government agency records becoming steadily more shuffled (having started off neatly sorted) because there just wasn't time to do a proper job. Civil servants don't get to choose what the whims of their 'masters' and our supposed 'servants' will be from day to day. Remember, nobody outside our idiot political class wanted these scum to meddle in public services to start with.
