You are forgetting...
7) Someone somewhere fiddles the invoices, inflates the prices or syphons
off the cash
8) Chief Executive appoints an independent advisor to investigate the claims
of dodgy dealings
9) The independent auditor finds no proof of the claims, but says there are
fundamental problems with controls and procedures and a lack of overall
strategy, control, due diligence and management direction
10) The Council receive a report containing the info, and the wasted
millions of public money. They look at each other wondering what it all means -
one mentions something about deja vu, and the other one says "yeah, i went
there on holiday last year, or just outside it, i think"
11) RW says that any new project is bound to have some teething problems and
he is happy the report doesnt actually say anyone did anything wrong, and
lessons have been learned
12) Everyone goes over to the Denmark and its doubles all round (on exe's of
course)

Subject: Re: [Newham] Olympic Regeneration for Newham
Let me guess, another New Labour Brownite PFI venture
1) Newham hand over 50 million of land assets to their 'Partners' ie Private
speculators on the grounds that they will 're-generate' the assets.
2) a token small social housing scheme, library and/or little open space is
thrown in to abate critics
3) the 'Partners' 'regenerate' the land asset which they now own c/o Newhams
generousity, and sell to the highest commercial bidders (for probably well in
excess of the 800,000 stated.
4) Newham then lease back some of the asset (that they just gave away) for
vastly inflated commercial rents, and a few lucky homeless get to live in a
semi privatised 'social' housing scheme.
5) the New Labour Government give Newhams Mayor another laural in his cap for
asset stripping... Ooops I mean 're-generating' the borough.
6) the Olympics innit, shrouds the who deal
If I have misunderstood how this works I bow to those in the know.
