Just let this sink in: Capita wins 12-year £1bn contract to provide training services to the Royal Navy and Marines

Sounds Fishy

Navy's shore-based training in 16 sites across the UK as the lead partner in a consortium, Fisher Price Training, which bid for the work. FTFY.

Speaking of training and outsourcing, we're not quite as dystopian as Africa. Yet... A few years ago, on a business trip to Uganda, I rapidly came to the conclusion that no one in a G4S Uniform should ever be handed an M16 ("Would you be kind enough to point that at someone other me," I said more than once). At some point, someone in government is going to come up with the idea of just outsourcing the military altogether.
