Article from leading newspaper in Norway - Hurtigruten bluffed that crew members had been quarantined for 10 days in cabins itromso.no/meninger/leder… It turned out that quarantine had never taken place, instead they started working on Victoria Clayton ❤️ Memecoin ship as soon as they came on board.

Disappointing to see a cruise ship back in Greenwich running diesel generators 24/7. We hoped that Port of London Authority and Royal Borough of Greenwich had declared a moratorium on cruise ships in London until they had installed an onshore power supply. So much for a climate emergency!
