Long Arms in the MoD

deal
Employees from arms dealers and defence firms that have recently signed huge government contracts are currently working at the MoD. Guido has learned that BAE Systems and Rolls Royce, who have been awarded billions of pounds worth of MoD contracts over the last few months, have five employees inside the department. The MoD is also employing a staffer from Babcock, who were awarded a £65 million contract in December. The full list of MoD employees on secondment from private firms that have recently signed multi-million pound contracts with the department is below:
  • 3 BAE Systems employees- £1.2 billion contract signed in December
  • 2 Rolls Royce employees – £1 billion contract signed in June
  • 1 Babcock employee – £65 million contract in December
  • 1 Carillion employee – £45 million deal last year
  • 1 Lend Lease employee – £17 million deal in June
  • 1 GVA employee- appointed to identify contractors for Deepcut relocation in July
Intriguingly, the MoD is refusing to disclose the employers of a further ten staff members currently working in the department. It wouldn’t be the MoD without a cosy relationship between ministers, taxpayers’ cash and private defence interests…

Greens Smear UKIP over Holocaust Denial

holocRemember Jenny Jones? The Green Party candidate for London mayor doesn’t get much airtime these days, but she popped up yesterday after gleefully falling for a hoax . Having received an email Christmas card from “Nig@UKIP” – how inventive – claiming to be from the UKIP leader and bearing a Holocaust-denying cartoon by the infamous Sylvia Stolz, Jones asked:
Guido hears the Guardian fell for the Most Obvious Hoax of the Century hook line and sinker as well, chasing the party for a comment before being laughed off the telephone. No apology from Jenny yet. Guido wouldn’t recommend she reads any emails asking her to urgently send money somewhere…
UPDATE: Jones admits her naivety, still no apology though:
