A phrase often used at Neuremburg
What Tesco do has nothing really to do with this unless they make things worse, but saying as you ask the new service has meant they have now taken on 6 new staff so already the benifits are showing as their wages will end up back into the Manx economy one way or another unlike the wages of foreign crews on the pirates. As for Mezeron using foreign crews, then it is no different to the pirates so not really anything extra to moan about. Lets face it the SP is not a Manx company it is an Australian pension fund who cares little about the people here and now because the Manx people have turned upon them they are throwing the toys out of the pram and trying bully boy techniques byt threatening to cut services and sack local people first, I am afraid the do not know the people here too well they may moan alot but when attacked they stick together, the pirates ace card is lost as we can get freight by other means, I am sure we will put up with a reduced service for a while until it is realised they wont win, at that time there is their own boat in the morning so it can make room for the next operator.
