A British cruise ship which made a controversial visit to a Cornish town last month docked in Palma this morning. The Spirit of Aventure, operated by Saga Cruises, displaces 60,000 tons and she arrived in Palma from Minorca. The ship cruised into the southern Cornish port town of Fowey last month and not everyone was pleased to see her.

I think Jasón was obviously overcome by pollution fumes. Or maybe he was crushed by the thousands of wrist band wearing moron tourists, disgorging into Palma and suffered temporary brain damage??? A warm welcome for a pollution spewing plague ship?? What sort of idiots do you think Palma residents are MDB???
“even claiming that the pollution it pumped out impacted local air quality,” This makes the complaining locals sound like they are making it up! That’s poor, even by the usually low standards of journalism evident at the MDB. To be clear, Jason, (as you seem to be in the employ of the cruise companies and their misinformation campaign) They are BIG polluters and degrade air quality considerably, especially when in port by keeping their diesel engines constantly running. They’re bloody ugly too!
What makes this journalist say that Palma gave this big, ugly, smokey monstrosity a "warm welcome"???? I strongly doubt there were crowds cheering as it lumbered into port.
What makes thus journalist think Pslma gave it a "warm welcome" - you can't tell me that yh
