Top Level, Meticulous Planning, Military Precision

Don't stand one man between £50m and a gang of robbers

The raid on a Bank of England security depot has been called 'organised crime at its top level, carried out with military precision'; a 'meticulously-planned operation'.

What level was the security of the depot, and what sort of precision and meticulousness went into its planning, when one employee (and his family) is all that stood between robbers and £50,000,000?

The failure to cover this security weakness has cost the manager and his wife and son six hours of terrorisation at gunpoint, and the consequent psychological effects.

In addition, we have lost £50,000,000; which, we were speedily informed, will not cost the taxpayer anything because it's insured. Who's kidding who? Do we really think that the insurance companies won't recuperate their £50m?
