I heard him on the radio and he makes a compelling case for it being built. Lord Digby is the man.

Re: New yacht for liz
Its cheapest half the price. Its 100m not what you quote.
Apprentices will be heavily involved in making the vessel, with cross skilled people able to transfer it to other areas once its completed. For example plumbers, metal workers, electrical engineers etc. Then once its complete the crew will be heavily apprenticeship based giving them the tools to work across different sectors once they move on.
Trade will use the boat to showcase business.
The cost of the vessel is 100m 1/3 paid by the taxpayer, 1/3 by business and a 1/3 from the lottery is how he explained it.
Seems like a good idea.

Re: New yacht for liz
The 200 million notes feeds into the system. Wages and tax for the people building it, orders to the suppliers who in term employ people, tax payers. When built, wages for employees and maintenance staff.Stamford O wrote: ↑Fri Jun 05, 2020 3:32 pm 200 million notes can be spent better than a plaything for the rich
So it generates employment and increases tax revenue. May even reduce benefits.
Only a part of that 200 million finds its way to the shareholders of the company, who may well be pension funds for staff.
People get all emotive about the big numbers without a moments thought as to where that money actually gets spent. On ordinary workers.

Re: New yacht for liz
New ship for Liz?
What exactly has she done to earn that then?
Just one other slight sticking point. Having looked quickly online, it doesn't appear that the UK has any ship yards/builders actually left in business to make a vessel of this size.
We all know who to blame that on, don't we.

You are aware that there’s other things to spend 200m on that might be a bit more useful and the same money ‘feeds into the system’?Dohnut wrote: ↑Fri Jun 05, 2020 7:50 pmSo you tell me where the money will be spent then?Apple Wumble wrote: ↑Fri Jun 05, 2020 6:45 pmGotta be on a wind up or this is one of the worst f*cking posts I’ve ever seen on here - and that’s saying somethingDohnut wrote: ↑Fri Jun 05, 2020 6:07 pm

Re: New yacht for liz
No. I don’t give a toss about a new boat for the Royals. But I at least understand that if the money is spent it had better be in the UK where it will do some good for our industry and people working in it.HeyO wrote: ↑Fri Jun 05, 2020 11:16 pmSurely a windup.Dohnut wrote: ↑Fri Jun 05, 2020 6:07 pmThe 200 million notes feeds into the system.

If they had the infrastructure, then great.
