No sh*t Sherlock?........Our 90% Remoaner biased media only focuses on negative Brexit stories (lol) (lol) (lol) ...... What planet are you on? It was the pro Brexit media that massively steered and drove then entire Brexit mess and got us to where we are now with 20+ years of drip feeding you nonsense. The remainers might have won the social media war but the news media in the UK is massively pro Brexit certainly by coverage and readership numbers. Obviously a different one to yours Barry.........If you think the mainstream media was pro Brexit 8-) ........ Sounds to me like your unable to accept the FACT that 52% of us Brits actually want to LEAVE THE EU >:-) ............ Well if thats still the case then you have nothing to fear from a final vote on Mays deal then do you? I don't object to another vote ;-) ........... After we've left >:-) ......... Although to be fair......you should have the decency to wait 40+ years like I did :-| .......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletguy Posted January 8, 2019 Author Share Posted January 8, 2019 So now the latest in governments "Carry On Cockup" movie is HMRC shut down the company Seabornes CEO used to run, Mercator International, for non payment of taxes with debts of over £1 million to MidGulf (still unpaid) and Palm Charters still chasing their money owed. Also he was operating illegally without a correct licence for a ship carrying guns. Errm......why has this man not been brought to justice? People are getting locked up for far less serious criminal offences than this. Grayling appears to be enjoying every moment as he grins his way throughout. Time he heads for Mays revolving Cabinet door which is spinning that fast now i've lost track of whose in Cabinet and whose out. It's like a competition to see who can notch up the longest stay as a Cabinet minister.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pelmetman Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I see Brittany ferries are confirming what most sensible folk think ;-) ........ They already have enough ships......and more importantly the capacity to increase their time table ;-) ......... So its unlikely Seaborne will be required, but I guess its sensible to plan just in case the EU want to play silly b*ggers >:-) .............

Barryd999 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Where are all the workers busily preparing our new "no deal" port? Its gonna need a bit of a spring clean by the look of it. It seems the only people properly preparing for a No Deal situation is the EU countries not the UK. Perhaps they think no deal wont happen huh?

Apart from the Dutch owned dredger pottering around (obviously we couldn't afford the cost of our own dredger so gave the job to an EU country!), the only "work" i could see being done was the seagulls sh1tting all over the place.

Barryd999 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Not much going on at Dover either. Well nothing apart from some staged drive about in a few trucks that didnt even go into the port. According to Philip Hammond it would take years to ready Dover for a no deal Brexit and what have they done? Absolutely sweet FA. I am sure a Brexiteer will be along in a minute to say it will all be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same bloke dished out a £200 million contract to Carillion despite the warnings, only for Carillion to ho into very 'convenient' (for some) liquidation. EY financial services were appointed by HS2 Ltd to assess Carillion’s finances, but had also been hired by the construction company! PwC insolvency still has people working on the Carillion case at the rate of £350ph per employee. The Seaborne debacle was doomed from the outset and anyone could see that. Grayling claimed throughout that "due diligence" had been conducted before awarded Seaborne the contract, yet continually refused to show it. How the hell can you do 'due diligence' on a company with no previous experience, no ferries, and no business records other than unpaid debt? I think the public has a right to see what governments so called 'due diligence' on Seaborne was and it begs the question, how on earth are these 'pop up' companies even being considered for contracts let alone being given one.
