The cruise ships are British save one last I looked. They have a large union flag painted on them. The ultimate control from an investment view is a Dubai agency and which has offered me largesse. You may care to name the non-British ships of the company so that we can identify their salient details. https://cyprus-mail.com/2019/01/18/po-ferries-to-register-entire-english-channel-fleet-under-cyprus-flag/ Looks like entire Channel fleet of P&O going to Cyprus flag...See link...Recent news it seems...

Amazing journalism. Almost as good as IOM Newspapers. Talking about cross channel ferries ( 6 in total, 2 already reflagged ) sailing between Dover and Calais - But picture is of a cruise liner tied up in Barcelona.

You’ve seen some daft headline on Guido Fawkes or Sir Nigel’s twitter feed. Here’s the real story: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.ft.com/content/f3f00f8e-1d75-11e9-b2f7-97e4dbd3580d You can safely return to your default position of not trusting experts. Do you think that we can stop this vassal state humbug? I know that Rees-Mogg invoked the spectre in one of his more colourful moments, but the situation the UK inhabits as part of the EU is far closer to the definition vassal than any post-Brexit scenario.

Albert Tatlock Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Belfast's only half an hour away. Fun boy three. Great and true song. If you ever look it up. And do so. More shit to come unfortunately. You only need half a brain to work out what's going on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say what a hoot if the "Steamies" follow the P&O and register Cyprus flag with Brexit in mind! Or as jolly old BoJo would say, "Oh cripes! I say you chaps! Yaroo!"

Freggyragh Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Well I’ve cashed in my 2nd referendum bet. Nice £100. They’re giving 4/1 on Brexit happening by March 29th. That’s pretty stiff odds. As Woody keeps saying it’s going to happen it’s not worth the punt, but the betting exchanges are always a good indicator of public opinion.
