Dorset Echo are petitioning Condor to show loyalty to Weymouth. Really? I wondered who the people were, to whom Weymouth were appealing, so did some research.

I am no financial expert but think this means Condor is owned by a global hedge fund, managed by ruthless operators who would probably need to Google Weymouth to see where it is.
