Familiarisation Training

I see a P&O ferry has been detained by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency for failing a familiarisation training inspection. It's just about the only thing the government can get them on in any meaningful manner, given that the vessels are not UK registered. Doubtless it's a problem that will be rectified before long.


However, if a vessel is deemed unfit to sail through lack of familiarisation, should Boris Johnson and the entire ERG not be detained for lack of familiarisation training on the consequences of Brexit and their own 'oven ready' deal? They seem determined to interpret consequences of not understanding the terms of their own deals with the EU as punishments.

I suppose, in a way, it is a punishment, but a self-inflicted one.
