We are only a democracy because Mrs Windsor allows it...
Eh the history books suggest we are a democracy for a lot of lovely reasons, one of which being Oliver Cromwell having cut off the head of Charles I.

Couldn't they get Al Fayed to fund it, in return for a passport?
Or Abramovic could donate one of his spare ones?
Or, if public money is to be used, it could contain cells below deck, so as to double as a prison ship when Queenie isn't using it. It'd be ideal for this upcoming summers rioters in there. Just to highlight yet further how much the ruling classes actually give a **** about them

The old Britania was supposed to be a 'dual use' vessel, to be able to be quickly converted into a hospital ship in times of war. Come the Falklands war and oh dear! it didn't use the right sort of marine diesel so it couldn't be sent into harm's way.

only a pound each, should be built in britain though, so it will be over budget, late & pretty crap

how about queenie gives us each a pound?
or just gives gove a pounding?Posted 4 months ago # -
only a pound each,
On that basis, the UK govt should buy me a yacht. It'd only be a pound each, ffs. I'd even rent it out during the week.Posted 4 months ago # -
It seems that the idea has been sunk...

#TheGoveBoat on twitter is great.
And for a bit of perspective given the other big thing this government is **** up:
"#TheGoveBoat proposed royal yacht replacement will cost equivalent of 1,167,315 weeks of higher rate mobility #DLA"

Cameron here. Boat for queen is ideal way to use up all that wood we've got left over from former library bookshelves #goveboat»

I don't mind this #goveboat idea tbh, just as long as all who paid for it get a go in it.»

If you are going to have a Queen why not have a Royal Yacht #Goveboat, especially if it is paid for voluntarily not by the tax payer?»

I like the #goveboat term "lasting legacy". NHS gets sold off, Education deteriorates, unemployment rises but we'll have a boat to look at!»

I hope all Labour MP's choose not to support #GoveBoat. £60 mill is a lot of money that is to be wasted.»

To be honest, the trident replacement will be as much of a white elephant as #goveboat. Except the yacht isn't a means of mass murder.Naomi Turner

Dear Michael Gove. Please make it easier to remove poorly performing education secretaries. Thank you. #goveboatPosted 4 months ago # -
Is Gove Boat a bit like Louise Boat?
If the Queen wants a new boat, her kids should just buy her one, without spending our money to do it... then again, if its built in Glasgow (other uk shipyards are available) and that creates lots of jobs, maybe that'd a good thing?

What an utter buffoon - although the comedy value is immense. Truly, he is bringing the country together at a difficult time, just not in the way that he envisaged.
The only boat I'd be happy to pay for would be one that takes him & all his ilk far, far away from these shores.

our monarchy is losing it's touch, in past they sent their offspring off to rule Germany and build whole fleets of boats or marry russian oligarchs who could lend them one for a month or two.
