Capita

[webofevil]

The chairman of Capita has resigned. News that he had lent the Labour party around £14 million had led some to speculate how his hapless, meat-fisted "outsourcing" company had consistently won government contracts, again and again and somehow fucking again. He has quit in response to the "spurious" claims that his loans were connected with Capita's inexplicable success. That is, after all, how you can tell if something is spurious—someone resigns over it.

But the important thing now is to put this behind us and move on. Right, Tony?

Cue comments about "losing their head" and de-Capita-tion etc.

We're outsourcing some of our IT functions. Oh joy.

Thing is, didn't Capita win all these contracts before he gave the loan?

In fact, now I think of it, weren't Capita winning lots of Government contracts even before Labour came to power? Perhaps they know where the Queen's illegitimate sister is buried or something.

I used to work for Capita, in one of their call centres. They are probably the worst employer I have ever worked for in several years of doing rubbish jobs. The worst thing was that as soon as anything went horribly wrong we had to put people through to DWP/Income Support/whatever because we had no access to any departmental information.
