It's exactly what they are doing, just making it up as they go along (the government that is)

In terms of benefit scroungers no one does it like the Royals do it

I think "Get in the ****ing sea" is most appropriate.

I feel a bit sorry for The Royals TBH. I bet that the last thing they want is to be associated with the forthcoming shit storm (by the likes of herberts like me 😉 ).

Some of us are relatively poor. I only post and lurk on here to see how the posh people live

Oh come on.. The logic for this is sound..

”Our country needs and deserves a floating Royal Palace'..

Obviously..

I don't; they probably have the same blind optimism like a tory MP that is insulated from any minor quibbles like loss of housing, loss of job etc. Their permanent police escort and flunkeys avoid them from seeing the real impact of the problems and I'd bet if you asked them for an honest response (and if you got one!) they'd say 'yeah there are poor people in the UK but it's not that much for a yacht, why not!'

they need a rocket up their starboard

I can only imagine it’s all the lying beastiality fetish Tory’s that support it.

Clearly there’s enough money in the system for this extravaganza, I say hand it back to those that need it.

How about that for a change eh Tory’s ?

Doubt you understand the concept, far too inept and your retarded views only allow looking backwards.

You do have to admire the Tories' epic procrastination - they should be trying to sort out Brexit, but instead they're changing the colour of the [s]deckchairs[/s] passports, complaining about Big Ben not bonging, and buying a new floating gin palace which will invariably cost three times the estimate then sink.

This is a great plan, though - get the serfs who really care about this kind of thing to pay for it, leave the rest of us alone.

If it was legal to carry an axe and behave like a viking, the scratch card troglodytes agonising over what colour of cards that they want that morning, would be the perfect operchancity to express my new found right! 😆

I suspect most are also the type that would feel pride in a new royal yacht, so crack on with that plan!

Up the lumpenproletariat! 😆

Now the news is out, the next stage of the media release will no doubt be targeted at opportunist threats from “mmmigants” and that the gin palace will also be used to patrol the Dover Straits, whilst Queenie is on Board doing that Wave..

If they can build something suitable for £120M then I say go for it. Put them all on it and moor it off the Falklands or something. We can sell off all their other palaces to developers and save ourselves a fortune subsidising these scrounging, inbred wasters.

You can bet your last pound that some papp will snap Meghan's norks with a 1000mm lens while she sups gin in deck.

The last one was publicly funded because it was designed to operate as a troop carrier and most importantly as a hospital ship.

Maybe the new one could project our wonderful international influence by being sailed to a Yemeni port and acting as a hospital for the thousands who are starving or injured following the Saudis bombing them with British made weapons...?

There's a couple of Type 22s 'mothballed' in a shed in Portsmouth - slap of paint and they'll be grand 😉

Can't we kill two birds with one stone here and give them a Royal Nuclear Submarine?

Added bonus of enhanced privacy from the paps.

Governments have been fleecing the poor and the gullible in this way for years. Astonishing that they get away with it.

The topic title seems to come from the daily mail school of click bait....

It should really read. 50 mad as **** Tory MPs want to build a floating palace to sail around the world and impress people from the 19th century...

Oh and as we keep voting these dicks in it seems to validate their dreams of going back to a time when the workers know their place and stay quiet in the workhouse...

I fail to see in that article where it does actually say that they have requested the ship.

Tories are backing it so they can take from everybody but the top 5%, then skim off all the profits for their coke and hookers and bandwidth to search child porn.

I wouldn't mind betting they have a better idea than most Tory MP's

You actually believe what the Daily Express prints!?

For example, every year they say we are going to have the worst winter ever followed by the hottest / driest / wettest summer (delete as appropriate)

They just make crap up to suck you in. It pays their wages and keeps their name in the public conscience!

As long as they cut other budgets to pay for it. The twitter police would be a good place to start.

TurnerGuy is right; there is no evidence that any of the royal family have made any request or discussed the subject.
This is 50 unhinged tory mps being given publicity by an arsewipe publication.
Seems to me that the royal family are much more attuned to public sentiment than a small group of halfwit tory mps.
