Absolutely mindblowing how little ***** the government actually gives when the brown envelopes are thick.

We need a revolution tbh, kick all those greedy ***** out of office once and for all. Every single one of them, gut the whole place from top to bottom and start again.

And force the current lot to spend their remaining days in a cell with a tv showing Love Island on repeat.

I think you’re being a bit harsh there Diddums.

Love Island, really?, no one deserves that.

It’s a full time job holding this government to account.

So DP world sacks 800 ferry workers to replace with agency staff, the government is up in arms condemning them, cancelling their contract with P&O, drag the boss up the commons committee, who admits they broke employment law and Grant Schapps promises to change the law so it can’t happen again.

Seems like that’s all been forgotten though as DP World have just been awarded a nice shiny new contract by the same government to run the new Thames Freeport that’s being built. Absolutely incredulous.

Outrage at new project for firm behind P&O sackings

DP World has been chosen to run a new freeport, despite having sacked 800 workers without notice last year.

That buyers remorse is kicking in big time for you now :cry:

It also teaches “"If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them."

was wondering how the EU views freeports, like, what restrictions they might impose on products from them

hmmh

A closer look at the Luxembourg Freeport and its CEO, Yves Bouvier, helps explain the level of public attention surrounding the facility. While freeports may be normally intended to facilitate the transit of commercial goods, Luxembourg is one of a number of facilities worldwide that have instead become highly secretive storage places for some of the world’s most valuable art. In Luxembourg, as well as in freeports such as Geneva, Singapore, and Monaco, wealthy patrons are able to store some of their most valuable possessions out of sight of tax authorities for years on end. As Austrian MEP Evelyn Regner said after a visit to “Le Freeport” in Luxembourg: “[The owner] has basically got a black hole. It’s a real lack of transparency.”

Yves Bouvier, who was previously one of the largest tenants of the Geneva freeport, is the majority owner of the Luxembourg and Singapore freeports. Bouvier has been locked for years in a major dispute with former client Dmitry Rybolovlev, who claims the Swiss “Freeport King” defrauded him of a billion dollars over the course of 38 acquisitions. Those allegations shone a light on Bouvier and informed the TAX3 committee report’s criticism of the freeport model, in which “no one really knows exactly what is stored… as the inventory is not consistently tracked. Moreover, the beneficial owners of many of the goods are unknown.”
