Story: Capita takes the blame for tax security lapse

Don't we have any software companies in the UK? For some reason, these US Corporations appear to think we, in the UK, are stupid. Capita claims this is an "isolated incident" and that it "won't happen again". Isn't that what was said when thousands of UK bank accounts were made public, accidentally of course! So this " has never happened before", I've heard that one many times too. Of course this has not happened to Lambeth Council constituents but Capita certainly have a habit for repeating these statements. Instead of outsourcing to the US, India etc., UK companies should outsource, only if neccessary and only to other UK companies that need the business. If we used more British companies, we would have some answerability and if things do go wrong, as does regularly with Capita, a UK company would find it very easy to sue a UK company. As Capita is a US company, it is too difficult to take legal action and therefore a simple "sorry" tends to be adequate compensation. WQhen they do apologise, "sorry" actually means " we have been paid, will continue to be paid and therefore your customers can go suck eggs you stupid British idiots". Finally, what is the difference between outsourcing to the US and outsourcing to India? Indians have brains and sell account details instead of giving them for free LOL
