Why compensate it is common public knowledge before any contracts are signe

As stated, the Tories have notified the participants that they will cancel the scheme. They have done this up front before any agreements have been entered into. Once elected by the UK population assuming we still have a UK and population by then, they will be carrying out the will of the people by implementing a decision already made before contracts are signed.

This should be taken into account at the negotiation stage with standard clauses removed and the labour ministers forced into providing personal guarantees if they are so sure that the scheme is best for the country and they will also be in a position to continue following the next election, also bearing in mind that the Tories have notified their intent to cancel.

They could always call a snap election to ensure they are in place for the contract duration which would alleviate them of this worry.

The precedent has already been set with government legislation making local councilors personally responsible for any overspend due to their decisions.

It was only pointed out to me today that most of this government seem to have stopped their Art education at GCSE or as we used to call it O level standard, hence the collective noun I keep hearing them referred to by - "Art'O's"

It seems to me this is a burden being placed on the wrong shoulders. There is not an It system in the world that can stop an individual taking information in their heads and spewing out at the nearest undesirable third party.
