    A day later and I'm still working it out.

    To be fair... I've made the odd similar post after a night on the sauce, pretty sure I've caught most and deleted them before too many folks read them

    Mind you, I've been out for a few today and believe I can now translate :-)

    Brexit has scooshed Scotland.

    Intelligent Rangers supporters make up around 30% of the vote are happy regardless.

    .... pretty sure that covers it, now im off to the bar for another..

    Big defeat in court yesterday for brexiteers wanting the NI protocol stopped.
    This paragraph seems particularly aimed at Johnson.

    Tories wasting more money.

    A scathing report from the cross-party culture media and sport select committee has concluded that the Festival of Brexit is a waste of public money and set for failure.

    The £120 million event, which is now officially known as “Unboxed: Creativity in the UK”, takes place this year, but it has been heavily criticised by MPs who said ministers do “not know what it was”.

    The committee took issue with the framing of the project, which officials at the culture department billed as including “something for everyone” – despite being advised that it should not “be all things to all people”.

    “Vague”
    They were was also concern that very few people knew that the event was happening or what it involves, with its purpose remaining “vague”.

    “Since the event’s inception in 2018, the aims for Festival UK* 2022/Unboxed: Creativity in the UK have been vague and ripe for misinterpretation by the press and public at large,” the cross party report, released on Wednesday said.

    “We see no evidence to refute such scepticism now. The desire for it to seemingly cater to everyone, everywhere, is a recipe for failure and investing £120 million in something when the government, by their own admission, ‘did not know what it was’ is an irresponsible use of public money.”

    “Muddled approach”
    The event’s organisers have explicitly rejected the “festival of Brexit” label and say it is in fact “a UK-wide groundbreaking celebration of creativity taking place in 2022”.

    Not according to the reports I've seen. More like a restructuring. Rumours of staff redundancy. Owned by a company in dubai.

    Yip. Looks like they are sacking all the UK based staff and replacing with cheap foreign Labour.

    Maybe SARS-COV-2 and the affects of the pandemic's restrictions also had an influence on their line of business?

    Aren't they simply employing folk based in the huge market that is the EU as it's easier transact with that market and comply with its employment regulations rather than having 2 parallel systems?

    UK will still rely on their ferries, unless there's a UK equivalent ready to take over? Maybe Gove has it covered like everything else around the ports post brexit.

    Unions telling the seafarers to stay onboard. Some were sacked on a zoom call. Shocking employment tactics by P&O. At some ports, replacement crews were waiting on the docks.

    My understanding is that staff are entitled to a notice period of redundancy. It is also wrongful dismissal because the jobs still exist and the staff are being replaced. I wonder what our UK Government will do about it?

    There was a bill before parliament last year to stop this practise but the Tories blocked it.

    I think they are essentially foreign jobs so don't come under uk law unfortunately. UAE don't have the same workers rights, it's under maritime law. Disgusting, hopefully people think again about using p and o

    I have no idea whether the P&O situation has been affected either way by Brexit. Of course my predisposition is that Brexit won't have helped, but I have no evidence to support that view.

    However, it is interesting to read the RMT Union's views prior to the referendum, especially those relating to seafarers and workers rights. The RMT are of course, and rightly upset about today's treatment of their members.

    TRANSPORT UNION RMT today set out six key reasons why it will be advising members to vote to the leave the EU in the forthcoming referendum

    £10m apparently.

    Here's the Tories ensuring that a law to stop companies' ability to fire-and-rehire would not pass. Just 6 months ago.
