Government sells site for £6m
Government buys site back for £15.5m
Government needs to stump up £20m to make it 'not a lemon'

This is even better than asset stripping public services!

Government sells public infrastructure company to private buyer at a snip
Government has to subsidise the business for more money than they sold the business for to keep the public infrastructure element from failing.

It's a bit like Musk being given responsibility for slashing Federal spending in the US. Will he be taking the axe to those departments that hand out space-related contracts? Or the ones that have spent a load of Federal cash on the kind of grants and infrastructure that made electric cars a viable proposition.

Let's hope so.

Just some serial financiers / property investors / solicitors by the looks of it. Some with a colourful history of failure and gambles gone wrong (see Dawnay Day collapse*). But they certainly got this one right!

These guys seemed to do a lot of the digging to unearth this apparent government incompetence. And that's all it looks like on the face of it, although you never know of course.

Par for the course innit Dubs. Anyone can make a mistake, but the abandonment of purchasing processes and failure to listen to the obviously correct advice of the civil servants points to it being willful wastefulness.

Unfortunately what they've done doesn't appear to be an offence, just incompetence.

Indeed. I wasn't implying corruption, just rank incompetence, and riding roughshod over rules and processes that exist for a reason.

A government that was only interested in getting headlines about the immigration problem, and not about actual solutions.

"The private sector can run things better than the public sector."

This example blows that out of the water.

The public sector said no, stick to the rules regarding procurement and you get value for money.
The private sector said no to the rules and you get big profits at the expense of the taxpayer.
