Re: A proposed new royal yacht, I wonder where it will be built?

The daily telegraph reports that Downing street has not denied
the reports, and stated that the PM is determined to make UK
shipbuilding nation again, and suggests that such a project would
act as en advert for THE NEW GLOBAL BRITAIN. ??
And would provide work and skills development for the UK !!!
So it seems Swimmy is right ?
This is all prompted by Boris with the assistance of a few other
mad Tories ??
Nobody has mentioned the queen being involved in this yet ,
Shouldn't she at least express her desire for such a yacht ???
On the global Britain issue, haven't we just despatched a bloody
great air craft carrier and accompanying flotilla on a mission to
do just this ??
IGTF!!

Just the thought that a member of government actually thinks in this

Imo of course !

Being "up for discussion" is a very different thing to a plan formally being announced DM.
Don't let the media "we-must-sell-a-story" tactics fool you; as of now there is no official plan for any new royal yacht.
Therefore everything you read is at this stage pure conjecture.

Why should they?
Do you think that every little bit of carp that gets suggested should have resources wasted on it just to deny what's been said when we all know that such denials often only add further fuel to these baseless speculations?


Like everybody else you're entitled to your opinion DM but the unalterable in this instance is that the whole thing so far at least is pure conjecture.
It's a story and nothing more than that.

Then the cojecture WILL continue !!
A denial is the most efficient way to stop it
What l posted was from the Tory press office to the DT !!
Surely a simple NOT TRUE would stop it in its tracks without the
lengthy load of guff they issued ??

Strikes me it's a positioning leak intended to bolster the Conservative policy in the mind of the public as the party that wants to return to traditional things and restore the GREAT into Britain.qa1

Yep!

Re: A proposed new royal yacht, I wonder where it will be built?

Royal supporters are still agitating and motivating to build the
proposed new £200 million ( hopefully?) yacht !!
The boss of Harland and Wolfe has said work could start tomorrow
at the companies appledore yard in the West country if they receive
the go ahead ?
I bet they could, because the yard looks absolutely empty at the moment ! Of course he comes out with the usual platitudes about
reviving British ship building and creating skills blah! blah!
We have a need for more patrol vessels if the past two weeks is
anything to go by, why don't they create our skills building them ??
apparently the project has attracted more support within the Tory
party?? Even if they keep to the projected cost, it is pointless, but
history tells us to expect an inflation of at least 80% or probably
treble due to the fact it is ROYAL !!
Stand by for aBoris Bombshell !!
