    I disagree with the thrust of what you are saying Ed, totally.

    DHB shares would be what we would call a 'value' share rather than a 'growth' share and would attract investment from the managers of funds like Artemis Income, Invesco Perpetual Income and High Income Funds, Neptune Income and so on as well as broader based UK Equity Funds. Uk insurance companies would also be snapping them up. Yes some are likely to be bought by overseas funds as well and thats fair enough. Like I said the broader the ownership the better. What I want though is a 'golden share' for the local community as well as employees and all the others I mentioned. Yes some of the port user companies are foreign owned and I really do not see a problem with that. this is a global economy. What I dont want to see is the Port just sold off to an overseas (or UK based) conglomerate wholesale, that would be the worse of all worlds.

    You have to face facts Ed. The Port will be sold off whatever we think locally and whatever Prosser thinks. He can bluster around but it is his Government that has paved the way for this. We just have to get the best possible deal for Dover and the workforce.
