Not owned by a British company.
Dubai Ports will shrug off any (muted) criticism from this Tory government.

That was one of the few ways you could ride a bike off this island. With Eurostar not allowing assembled bikes anymore, are we landlocked without bike bags now?

Just seen the video announcement of mass compulsory redundancy with immediate effect on BBC news website.
Quite horrific.. Good luck to anyone effected.

Didn't the Tories abstain from a vote on making this conduct illegal last year?

Would this be allowed in the EU?

Someone on Twitter said “no” but people on Twitter have been wrong before.

Aren't they involved in running the much-vaunted free ports also? So a free pass and Brexit benefit for Jacob's list...

RMT union chap on R4 PM, no consultation period, security thugs hired to basically throw staff off the ferries as they got back to port, completely illegal.
With Boris courting the middle east for oil n gas at the moment, fuck all will be said/done.
We are fucked!

How can they claim they’re making people redundant in the same breath as saying they’re gonna replace those people with cheaper people? Roles get made redundant, not people.

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
