Well done Allyson. Well done Dr G.

Now why wasn't this BBC Newsnight or Panorama? Perhaps the BBC should broadcast a series detailing specific PFI frauds in the run up to the next General Election.; 22 February 2010 at 14:09

Dr Grumble said...: Because, anonymous, many found it was Hobson's choice. No PFI meant no new building. Those were, in general, the rules. And, of course, those that played ball retired with their CBE's and were not around to pay the terrible price.; 25 February 2010 at 12:05
