BA's 'global IT system failure' was due to 'power surge'

Fake news!

BA flights were leaving without baggage on Friday, with no explanation.

BA flights from everywhere but LHR and LGA were flying.

Now, if MI6 got a whisper of a bomb on a BA plane leaving London over the Bank Holiday weekend, how could the authorities avoid panic and ensure that all passengers and baggage got fully screened?

Hmmm, how about blaming computer systems (everybody does) the weather (climate change is politically neutral) and outsourced IT (well, the Commonwealth is next on the immigrant exclusion agenda once Brexit is sorted) while playing games with the security levels?

[I await receipt of a personal D-Notice]

Police Scotland and Accenture were at odds over ill-fated IT project i6

Plus ca change . . .

When I worked for Acccenture (before it had changed its name to protect the guilty) they did a survey of their clients which effectively had two questions:

Q: Did we do exactly what we said in the contract? A: Yes.

Q: Would you use us again? A: Never!
