I've been asked to borrow ts and Cs before, but not by companies with £14m contracts. That login 'form' is hilarious. | |

It seems government procurement processes are not quite up to scratch on 11:47 - Jan 3 with 2102 views | factual_blue | The processes have been consciously short-circuited just to make sure a British firm was in the mix. Which makes it even worse. grayling is the sort of dolt who would think nobody would notice. | |

What the govt is desperate to not tell you is that the ITT (Invitation To Tender) for these contracts will have been published in the OJEU (Official Journal of the EU), in accordance with the law. | |

It seems government procurement processes are not quite up to scratch on 11:53 - Jan 3 with 2070 views | No9 | Since 2010 much government procurement has been handed over to the 'Private' sector, Grayling has a history of very questionable practices when handing out government Contracts so we should not be surprised at this. The question is how bad it is. Not only does this contractor have no vessels but they don't yet know what they can charter & that could be serious because the newer ferries may well not be able to get into, & berth in Ramsgate + the ferry facilities at Ostend have not been used for a number of years and may need work, not only that Ostend is not a very capacious port that will likely put restrictions on operations Mickey Mouse Enterprises | | | |

What a plonker. Still, Corbyn would have unionised it and they would have gone on strike on day one. ;-) | |

"Still, Corbyn would have unionised it and they would have gone on strike on day one. ;-)" Considering there are no British Flag ferries (remember flagging out) that comment is, at best, uniformed if not political & silly | | | |

Talking of Grayling:
Which helps explain why he is still in a job. | |

Hard as it is to believe, when grayling was Minister of State at DWP, even ids realised he was stupid, and could only cope with signing off IT expenditure. In his infinite wisdom, cameron required all IT spend above £25k in all govt departments to be signed off at ministerial level. That's a lot of bits of paper. But it kept grayling out of harm's way. | |

Although you'd have killed Mr Corbyn by then for being a misogamist. | |

You could argue that it's quite the achievement that Grayling stands out as uniquely incompetent in our current crop of politicians. | |
