This is despite FJS rinsing the department for everything it's worth.

That's unfair. Fujitsu rinse HMRC because they own VME, on which these systems were built when mainframes were the only game in town for country-scale computing. The high-octane rinsing was done on the systems themselves by CapGemini, which was so spectacular that even the government noticed and in-housed it again.

If you invite carnivores into your house and invite them to eat you can't be surprised when you lose an arm.
