I just returned from Dover and it’s got worse. The queuing extended to Maidenhead this morning with local families now caught up in the mess due to the police suddenly closing off the lanes for non ferry traffic, looked like incompetence to me. It really is a national disgrace. If Grant Shapps is trying to make P&O suffer through over zealous Coastguard inspections then he’s causing suffering to thousands of people and businesses in the process. I thought “Failing Grayling” was an idiot but hey ho seems he’s in good company.  Maidenhead??????

From the BBC News. Looks like we won't be venturing far this weekend. 16 mile queue on the M2 at the moment as drivers avoid the M20/A20 for another weekend getaway. Thankfully BHM is in the other direction for their start-of-season champagne breakfast tomorrow. Just gotta get back home afterwards!

I do have inside info that the P&O ships are being inspected to an unprecedented level of inspection and issues that previously existed for a long time are now being pursued.

This has probably been covered before, but as I understand it, P&O Cruises are nowadays in separate ownership from the ferries. Must be proving ruinous for brand reputation though.

None. The maritime employment laws existed during Brexit.
