> P&O Ferries, a subsidiary of DP World since 2019, united politicians in anger in 2022 when it fired 800 crew without warning, replacing them with low-paid agency staff working longer hours, in some cases below the minimum wage.
Good riddance, we don’t want these cunts owning any more of our infrastructure.

Fuck them. I’ve paid more money to avoid them in the past and I’ll gladly do so in the future.

Our country will continue to decline further if we are held hostage by these profiteering crooks.

I would go further. Deny them the right to do business in the UK. I reckon that would cost them more than £1bn. We apply economic sanctions to countries who misbehave all the time, why not companies?
Literally tell the top bods at this dodgy company to shove it up their arse.

There’s no way they pulled it because they got their feelings hurt. They had already decided to pull the funding, this just gave them a “reason” to announce it

She said nothing wrong. P&O Ferries are scum and if foreign investors are offended by that then we are better off without their blood money.

Fuck P&O and fuck any politicians using this as political ammunition to attack Labour.
This is what we want from our elected representatives. Politicians who will stand up to big businesses over worker rights. We don’t want £1bn from a company which is so flippant in pulling it.

I’m pretty despondent about the first 100 days of this government despite being a Labour supporter but seriously, on this I am 100% behind the SoS and DPM.
P&O are a rouge company and no self respecting Brit should ever give them a penny of their money. EuroTunnel is much easier and other operators such DFDS are only marginally more expensive – we need to properly boycott companies like this.

The problem with telling people to boycott P&O ferries is that many of those customers will end up giving their business to budget airlines with even worse employment rights.
