  Where the finance comes from really doesn't matter. What matters is the creation of a level playing field for all competitors. We also need to remember that the tunnel itself went bankrupt and had to be bailed out with massive amounts of money. It is rather ironic is it not that the tunnel which knocked the ferries for six and in so doing bankrupted itself should now be messing about as a ferry operator itself. Why are they doing this? Mainly at the behest of the French government I would think, as a solution to the employment problems in Calais caused by the machinations of the French seamen. Let's have sympathy for them by the way, but not too much. They created the mess they are in after all.
  
  P & O Ferries is a a huge Dover employer. Their headquarters are here and they deserve support and not the constant sniping they receive from certain contributors. I think the problem is that a certain section of the community still harks back to the painful re-structuring which had to take place to prevent the operation heading into Carey Street as did Seafrance so spectacularly a few years later.
