masmiffy 82 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 The only good thing about this is 'if' the thing is built in UK then a few blokes will have a job (unless they now employ our foriegn friends) Bad thing country in debt and they are thinking of a new yacht for the Queen !!!!!!!! FFS why isnt there uproar!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Gimme a new 25 foot Orkney Longliner with yamaha 40hp outboard, cabin, ship to shore, nav lights, gps and a trailer, promise to fly the royal pennant and take any of them fishing if they are in the area, it will be cheaper!

FFS why isnt there uproar!!! All the money would be an investment back into our industry as long as it's all done in this country. We should be generating more jobs and revenue by investing in big manufacturing projects like this instead of relying on the volatile financial sector so heavily like we currently do..

WILF 50,999 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Why not?.......the Queen deserves a yacht a lot more than those pilfering fuckers in the house of commons deserve a taxi ride and credit card at our expense! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nik_B 3,791 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 They aren't going to do it. Spending money on the celebration is fair enough, it will draw a lot of tourism to the UK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ratreeper 441 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) another grumpy comment by me, but I don't think any of the royal family deserve anything. Being given everything (sometimes literally) on a silver platter because you were born in the right family is the definition of fascism. Why complain about immigrants being given unfair priority whilst backing the biggest symbol to everything our grandparents died to prevent. edit to add, yes they bring in tourism money that pays for themselves. But I think that could be tripled or more if they opened the gates to all of the palaces and land to the public, millions flood in just to look at them from locked gates...imagine what people would pay to see the rest Edited January 16, 2012 by Ratreeper Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I thought we wanted to prevent the Nazis fascist regime taking over? To protect our own rights and morals, not worship a different powerless german dictator. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
staffs riffraff 1,068 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 The main royals generate a hell of a lot more than they cost but only they should get any public funding and if the yatch costs £80m and it's built in Britain then that a lot of that money goes to the workers of this country. Rather that than fund some Taliban schools in Pakistan to print books n how to blow us up 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
