So pointing out that P&O’s trade has been adversely affected by the UK being outside the Customs Union, together with the ending of freedom of movement makes me an idiot, does it? Sure, the sacking of the 800 workers would have still happened had the UK been in the European Union. Well, take France; they have a labour code ( Code du travail ) that protects employees from the fire and rehire, the same kind of protection that the Conservative government voted against. It is the domestic sovereignty of UK government that allowed the sacking of those workers! What is more, allowing the breaking up of the P&O company and for it to be eventually owned by a UAE based investment company is the disaster capitalism that Farage himself supports . You cannot support this and also say you are for regulation that supports workers’ rights. Afterall, deregulation was the highest priority of the brexiteers in the capitalist class and those politicians that were supportive of it. In fact, the Brexiteers in the Conservative Party voted against the Employment and Trade Union Rights (Dismissal and Re-engagement) Bill that would have protected P&O workers. The deregulation of labour laws was one major reason for Tory politicians to support Brexit. Not knowing this or making this clear to viewers Nigel makes you either an idiot, or a liar. And I don't think for one second you are an idiot!

@voice.of.reason You make an unsubstantiated claim. For it to be an argument, you should provide reasons and evidence. So, what have you got? How am I completely wrong ?

@voice.of.reason I think I made eight assertions in the post. As you haven’t yet reasoned and evidence your position, I will give you some sentence stems to help you. You are wrong because … Firstly, the P&O sackings would have still happened in the EU. You are wrong because … What is more, it is no different in France, because … The sackings have nothing to do with the UK government because … There is nothing wrong in supporting offshore investment companies because … What is more, there is nothing wrong in the deregulation of the labour market and erosion of workers’ rights are good because … I know that Brexiteers in the Conservative Party didn’t vote against the Employment and Trade Union Rights (Dismissal and Re-engagement) Bill because … Finally, you are wrong about Nigel Farage. He is …….

@voice.of.reason Shame that until now you not explained how completely wrong I am. I am also not pro-EU, to put it simply, I am against all institutions that are oppressive, and the Tory controlled UK government is far more oppressive than anything the EU has done . On Wednesday, you even heard from your Great Leader, “Boris” saying it is the fault of the Labour Party and the EU.. On KGB this evening Ben Habib, formerly of the Brexit Party was supporting foreign workers coming over here taking British jobs! Oh, the irony! His reasoning: doing so saved P&O Ferries. The 800 workers were immediately replaced by people earning just £1.80 an hour. To quote Louise Haigh MP, It is nothing short of a scandal that this Dubai-owned company, which received millions in taxpayers’ money during the pandemic, can tear up the rights of British workers, all while its profits soared by 52% last year .
