I'll use Stena Line or Irish Ferries. I already won't use Ryanair. I've adopted a zero tolerance policy for companies that piss me off. I think it's the best consumers can do. My feeling is goodbye altogether P & O in the not too distant future.

I wonder how this will end up if it goes to the courts - highly likely I would have thought. In such circumstances and given the numbers of employees involved, there is the requirement to consult for either 40/60 days on ways to mitigate the situation. It appears as if the owners have ignored this so they could have large number of unfair dismissal claims on their hands mixed in with discrimination claims.
If P&O also had a European Works Council in place - quite likely I would have thought given the numbers they employ and locations - they could also find themselves facing EU legislation if they simply ignored the EWC.
I suspect this is far from the end of the story and quite rightly so given the disgraceful way they went about it.

The tories wouldn't help a blind man crossing the road, let alone 800 of our mistreated workers.

At least they were spared execution.

What damage to the brand it must be considerable, hopefully we do care enough.

I'd love to see them all sinking slowly preferably with their owners onboard.

Although we could nationalise them with zero compensation, I don't see why not actually, we could also say there was an email with Putin that shows they are linked and take them as an economic sanction.

You got the jist of it though didn't you, you melt.

............and how many French staff have been sacked?

I always expect that very little, if any, tax is paid. I suspect the 800 workers would contribute a decent amount in tax and in consumer spending, to the economy. Well, they would have, it'll now become the tax payers' burden to pay for them on the dole. Probably have to pay some kind of redundancy too.
