But now they have got a boat AND a crew, and here are exclusive pictures!
A ferry company with no ferries? To stretch an analogy, this government were cruising round in the RMS Titanic searching for the biggest, nastiest iceberg to ram, but have now chartered the Carpathian Mountains, as opposed to the RMS Carpathia, to do the rescue...
Why not do an article on the background of the SEABORNE FREIGHT (UK) LIMITED Company number 10709921 shareholders? 3 of which are directors of Albany Shipping And 2 worked together at My Ferry Link Sounds like a last minute ditch by the gov to cover asses
ShonaMurray_ As Europeans we should actually be thinking along the lines of UK expulsion for their levels of incompetence
This procurement is readily explained. Grayling sees himself as a modern Horatio “I see no ships” Nelson. (Kismet will follow shortly.)
This is a joke right? Has it really come down to idiots who think they can get away with this. I thought America had problems !
Taking back control...a Danish and a French company get deals plus a 'Brexit company' w/o any ships. Plus the brother of a Tory donor might be involved. Looks fine to me.
What's new, it is a bit like government ministers and the PM having no intelligence. So bloody typical of Brexit Britain.
So, why is Brexit a good idea? All this fudging and expense points to knee jerk responses and suggests even more of the same to come. Madness!
You have to start somewhere lol
sounds like another great deal from the wise Tory Government, if only Labour had a real leader and not a Russian doll...
I wonder which minister will take the blame for that momentus decission?
If people can swim it then I’m confident we, as a 1st world, island nation of sea faring people, could figure out how to sail some ferries over the channel. Why the negativity? ProjectFear
ProjectFear strikes again. Don’t buy into people
You gotta problem with that? SeaborneFreight
One feels that this could be a lost script for a scene from Monty Python inserted in their upcoming film Life of Brexit
The company is probably owned by Tories or their fellow travellers ! 😂
Classic Brexit.
Just when you thought the insanity couldn’t get any worse...
Peak UK
Theresa May has a clear contingency plan on how to deal with the abject failure of her negotiating skills and keep Britain's exports and imports moving.
Mind you, we have a government with no idea, no plan, no brains and no future leading a country....... what's the difference?
Whitehall Farce, alas no Brian Rix!
May has to explain this immediately
shaking my head, sighing
I have not seen anything related to Brexit that is not ridiculous!
What could go wrong?
Gee, what could possibly go wrong! Who signed off on this contract and who exactly stands to benefit from it? Is Seabourne owned by a Brexiteer or Tory donor?
'... as well as crewing the ferries once they start operating”. Call me a bluff old landlubber but I always thought ships needed crews before they started operating...?
Wow... You’re getting as corrupt as the USA. Stop now! You don’t want to go down this path...
Under the present eye bulging farce that is the uk’s handling of brexit, sounds like they are perfect for the job.
Well every one has to start somewhere
But is a Cabinet member invested?
