For someone who claims not to be a Tory you don't half jump to their defence a lot

All the time to be fair

At every opportunity

So you don’t agree that Tory leaning people would be the ones most likely to support the stripping away of workers’ rights.

They would be having orgasms

The modern tory party is built on this libertarian let the market rule bollocks

The tory voter has voted for this

So bollocks to them

Even Tory MP'S are in rage about this .

This is about a nasty company finding a loophole.

No right minded person thinks it is right whoever they vote for .

It's got bugger all to do with Brexit , Evil Boris , or Scum Tories it's about a company that was once decent ,been taking over by some ****witt that had some standing in the world once but has now fallen from grace, and no longer has any decency .

In January 2019, P&O removed all of its vessels from the UK register. They now operate under the flags of Cyprus, Finland, Malta, the Netherlands, the Bahamas and Bermuda.

Aren't some of those countries in Europe ????

The majority of people (not all) will vote with their pocket and this will all be forgotten about in a few months time.

Surely not the socalist they are always true to the cause , I can tell you now I won't board a P & O vessel , I do like a cheap pint though in Spoons alongside many like-minded raging socialists .

Would EU employment laws have prevented this?

No it's ironic many employers were doing this by taking advantage of free movement in order to go over the heads of British workers and bus in much cheaper foreign workers

Good spot, but the employees aren't employed by a boat.

Disgraceful behaviour by that company.

No, I will never ever use them again! Not this coming summer, but in the next year or two I will be taking the van over to France for a holiday. No way will I be using P&O again

Re: Anyone using P and O Ferries this summer?

I do wonder if the bigger picture is also being missed here. It's disgusting what the sacked staff have had to put up with , but surely an even bigger question revolves around the fact that this company are still in charge of some of our most vital freight infrastructure. They don't seem to be fit and proper to run british ports, would like to see them pushed out
