I doubt that they actually want one?
Some Tory big wig wants one for them!!

Not if it's to primarily benefit the whole country and/or disabled/disadvantaged it shouldn't.
Did you buy your home to let half of Britain have the chance to use it?

It's Penny Mordaunt that's pushing to get the idea accepted.
That doesn't mean that anything will come of the idea you know.
I wonder if you have any idea how many such ideas like this are pushed at Boris & our government on a regular basis?
And how very few actually come to some form of fruition?

There is already a tall ship adapted for the disabled; it's called the Lord Nelson. Do we need another?
In general I would have to agree but the whole answer would be dependant upon many things, none of which we yet know because it's at the "float an idea" stage and no more than that.

You are probably right Zaphod, l won't have any idea how many
Dodgy " schemes" are " floated" at our government on a daily basis?
But this particular " scheme appears to have been "floated by a
member of this government ??
A government that has taken us from severe austerity to the
other extreme of completely opening the gates to public finances ?
It is well that few come to fruition, let's keep it that way ??

Austerity MUST return just as soon as the emergency taking on further debt to minimise the very real probability of some form of mass extinction kicking in. There will HAVE to be a return to austerity that will make that following the profligacy of the Blair / Brown period seem nothing at all. There is no alternative.
