    P&O Ferries goes under (or not)

    It appears that the ferry company is 40% owned by someone who possibly has been/is about to be sanctioned.
    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

    I thought I heard that they were about to sack all their UK staff. I might have misheard though.

        Another "Winter of discontent" coming?

        At least it might distract from the NI Protocol faux up.

          I thought that's what the war in Ukraine was doing...

            No, Ukraine was distracting from the parties and sleaze.

              Other companies may wish to get their bad news hidden by picking a day with other big news stories going round...

                My ref to the NI Protocol (for those who are unaware) is due to P&O running two of the main ferry routes to Northern Ireland from England/Scotland.

                  oh how quaint a multinational shipping firm employing a western crew!

                    Oh, that part is interesting. The nominal reason they're giving is the 100m loss suffered in the last financial year (), but I wasn't aware of the sanctions angle...
