And that's just it. Vampiric.

The fact that a huge amount of money is extracted from the UK government for no (or very little value) is a crying shame.

I know multiple people who work as consultants (hired via private agencies, paid for by Government) who have literally done nothing for six months plus.

They have no incentive to whistleblow, the agency employing them has no incentive to get rid of them as they take a cut, and then government department hiring them is non-the-wiser because they have no technical knowledge or understanding of what's being carried out.

It should be the scandal of the decade.
