This news story is a bit interesting.
www.guardian.co.uk/society/2012/jun/06/unpaid-jubilee-jobseekers-downing-streetWhat are your opinions? Do you think that people should have access to toilets and somewhere to change or ARE THEY ALL SCROUNGING LAZY MOANY CUNTS??!?!?!?!
I also like how the government doesn't give a toss that as a direct result of their policy people are being treated badly.
Alt: fuck you

Them arriving at the place two hours early could be a error.
That's explainable but shoddy. Them not having changing rooms and being expected to change on a coach parked on the street isn't a logistics error. Them not having access to toilets isn't a logistics error. Them being expected to work very long shifts unpaid wasn't anything to do with logistics. They were doing security for a big event on the cheap, which to be honest is terrifying.

From a purely economic and right wing standpoint.
