Stop The Midlands G4S 999 Takeover

Stop the private security company G4S from taking over the running of 999 call centers in Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Northamptonshire.

Why is this important?

G4S are a shady company trying to muscle in on the public sector and have been known to give large donations to right-wing think tanks such as 'Reform', trying to further their position in the prison industry where they already run 5 prisons in the UK.

In 2012 G4S were employed to provide security for the London Olympics, in which they did a poor job which resulted in the army bailing them out. costing the tax payer £1000's

Among the Olympics shamble they have been in many other controversies such as u the unlawful killing of Jimmy Mubenga in 2010 and being accused of fraud allegations in relation to overcharging for for tagging criminals in England and Wales.

It is vital we don't allow a incompetent company like G4S to run a service which could ultimately mean life or death for 1000's of people, it's too risky.
