#TheGoveBoat on twitter is great.

And for a bit of perspective given the other big thing this government is ****ing up:

"#TheGoveBoat proposed royal yacht replacement will cost equivalent of 1,167,315 weeks of higher rate mobility #DLA"

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.

obviously i was joking, but your a nobody, so dont fancy your chances 😀

No point doing royalty on the cheap in my eyes, not that i really care...

No point in royalty.

I like the Queen but why not just stick to the one she has now?

yup some quality govejokes on twitter

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

Most likely explanation for the recent #goveboat idiocy: newsthump.com/2012/01/16/mic…

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 think we may have found a captain for the #goveboat: bbc.co.uk/news/world-eur… ... (too early?)

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.

#goveboat sinks without trace. Why isn't it taking Cap'n #Gove with it?

How many people's DLA could be paid for with the cost of the proposed #GoveBoat? #spartacusreport

Dear Michael Gove. Please make it easier to remove poorly performing education secretaries. Thank you. #goveboat

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?

Goveboat graveyboat

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.

your a nobody, so dont fancy your chances

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.
