I hope this isn't classed as Political but it's been announced by the PCS Union (see their Tweet below) that a £700m contract has been awarded to Capita to provide Payroll services to some of the biggest departments!!!!

    I saw that on a reddit thread. They haven't got the best reputation to say the least…

    So the company that's doing such a fantastic job paying Civil Service pensioners has been given the payroll job for the pre-pensioners too?

    They really must have all the good photos…

    That's the same Capita that were hacked when running the ScottishPower Pension. Race to the lowest bidder, what could go wrong.
