The post you are reporting:
Having worked at the docks for many years, I have made many friends, who still work there. I have spoken to a few of them this week, one, on the phone this morning and yes they are behind the PP.
When asked why? I got the same answer.
"Out of the TWO options, we would rather it go to Dover and not abroad"
Bearing in mind, they work there and know firsthand what goes on year after year, I then asked them, this question,
"Would you prefer to leave it as it is, a Trust Port, but instead of wasting money every year, plough that money into Dover?"
And they all preferred the THIRD option, with one proviso, change some of the management.
I know you are going to tell me there is no 3rd option, don't go repeating yourself, this is just informing you of their responce.
