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

I can't see why they want one.
A plane like a smaller version of Trumps personal plane would be more useful I would have thought and they could probably pick one up for a song at the moment.

Likewise if they really need a ship then buying an older one and refurbishing would surely be a lot cheaper?

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

I agree we don't really need a Royal Yacht but I can appreciate it may have its uses for trade missions abroad particularly in these days of terrorism.

It would of course be commissioned and fitted in the UK and there would be lots of apprenticeships, better to give the young unemployed a role rather than paying benefits for doing nothing if there is a post C19 shortage of jobs..

I see you have fallen for the motivational spiel of these political
opportunists Meg ? ?
MPs are now DEMANDING that the ship must be ARMED ??
What world are they living in? Sounds like the 17th century !!
This shows the mentality of our leadership and it ain't very high !!
It sounds as if the proponents of this SCHEME allready assume it
is really " fait accompli" !!!
Arrogant BASTIDS??
The 200 million suggested is allready growing considerably if these
MPs are to be taken seriously ??

Donkyman I have a brain of my own that allows me to make assessments, I don't 'fall' for anything others have to say.

As I said in my earlier post I would rather not have a new Yacht.

I don't really mind Assman, as long as you mob pay to keep Her Majesty Queen of Australia in the manner to which she has grown accustomed and it doesn't cost us a cent then go for it I say.

PS. Tell her there is no need to visit.

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

At the moment any suggestion for this yacht is pure conjecture.
If it happens and what exactly would be involved becomes known, it will be worth discussing.
For now though IMHO it's just yet another non-story.

Not cojecture Zaphod?
A Tory MP has allready put it up for discussion ??
Just the thought that a member of government actually thinks in this
way is an indication of their mentality !!
Imo of course !
