New yacht for liz

[Stamford O]

Some bloke reckons it would boost the nations morale at this time if we built a new royal yacht.ffs

[Thor]

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

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Lock him and his ilk up in the tower

200 million notes can be spent better than a plaything for the rich

[Thor]

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.

[KC & sunshine band]

They are not sure whether to call it the Megan Marchioness or the Andrew Anchor !

[Celtient]

The very thought of it has raised my morale significantly

Are you going to be the union shop stewart to make sure that happens?

200 million notes can be spent better than a plaything for the rich

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.

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.

Great. So why not build a hospital instead?

Gotta 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 something

[Stamford O]

Let key workers use it .they deserve it

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.

[BoniO]

I'd only support this if our leader, Dominic, got to share it.

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’?

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.

Why does anyone bother engaging with this clap trap?

So if 200 mil is spent, where does the money go?

[Rich Tea Wellin]

100% windup. no one could be that stupid

[Ralphs Coate]

Another Moronic Idea from a Moronic Government member.

No need - we'll be awash with hospitals as soon as we leave the EU...I saw it on the side of a bus a year or two back

Ferguson's in Port Glasgow could handle it.

Looking at their website, they build small ferries and offshore boats.

If they had the infrastructure, then great.
