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.

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?

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.

Ferguson's in Port Glasgow could handle it.
