Does failure of SERCO test-and-trace mean EVERY privatised Covid-19 project has failed?
Can you think of any Covid-19-related contracts the Johnson government has handed to private firms, that have actually succeeded?
I can’t.
They’ve all been spectacular failures, and this is just the latest:
Everyone, I'm getting sick to death of saying this. Stop saying it's f***ing NHS Test and Trace. It's a private firm. It's Serco.
Failing private firms hide behind the NHS logo and our f***ing media help them. So the NHS can be blamed for private failure. https://t.co/q3xtSYKrWA

Marcus is right about these private failures being hidden behind the NHS logo to make the public service look bad.
Every outsourced job has been an utter failure – from Track & Trace to the App to PPE procurement. But, in every case, our f***ing media has called them NHS "this" or "NHS" that, so that the NHS can be blamed for government incompetence & private failure.
UK media. STOP DOING IT

But the UK media won’t stop doing it because the UK media is complicit in the plan to privatise the NHS.
