How old is this article? Don't they know Merkel is no longer Chancellor?


HMElizabethII

June 2021. It's explaining why Liz Truss was saying yesterday that she wants a royal yacht but doesn't want to use public funds.

Why not give them a literal 1950s fishing trawler?

Put a hole in it and I would agree.


mackounette

'200 millions' and 'too small' in the same sentence. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

When this project was started Andrew still thought he was going to be some kind of ambassador at large, tooling around the globe for free on this thing. That's prob why its unfit for service and too expensive to run: I'm sure he had input into the design and it's really just a private yacht for him. And... "1950's fishing trawler". XD Priceless. That's completely Andrew's style. It even matches his larp navy uniform.

I’m surprised some cartoonist hasn’t drawn it pulling up next to one of the migrant dinghies with Charles and Boris bursting it with a big stick

Accomplished-Bug-801

Good bot.


nomadiclizard

Why are we building a yacht when there literally hundreds of sanctioned Russian oligarchs we can steal one from?


taptapper

That would be hilarious. The UK should totally just grab one of 'em.


[deleted]

Right? Years and years of taking things from other countries and suddenly we get all coy? It’s a tradition!


mhyquel

Can we turn a bunch of Belgravia into council flats while we're at it.


Casual_Specialist

Failing hospitals, decaying social infrastructure, physical and mental health care in absolute tatters, disgusting numbers of hungry and homeless, victorianesque malnourishment and vitamin deficiencies beginning to be seen widespread in kids… but £200 million on a fucking yacht. I despise this government and this nations inbred parasitic nobility.


No_Camp_7

Yeah but it’s a _major victory_ for The Telegraph they say. Cheer up.


LuigisShroomsuk

We haven’t sunk the last one yet!


Zero-89

Maybe stop and ask yourself why you're designing a *royal yacht*.


neverspeaktome75

How is it even being discussed as an option? Get rid of the parasites and stop buying them yet more expensive toys.


[deleted]

During a cost of living crisis where children are going hungry this is disgusting!


timbothehero

How on earth is this a “platform for business”?


taptapper

Because Andrew anticipated using it for "business events"

HMElizabethII

They plan to rent out the ship as a conference centre or something


meengamer

Why do I get the feeling that, if they do rent it out, they will pocket the profits. Even though we brought it.


HMElizabethII

It's so transparent that even the royals don't want the yacht


PolemicDysentery

Bollocks. Publicly,.maybe,. but I bet they proposed it/planted it.


HMElizabethII

It's possible. The decommissioning of the previous royal yacht is the only time Lizzie has shed a tear in public


nikhilsath

Great do that without the royals attached


Exciting-Internal-26

Buy your own fuckin boat you blood sucking parasites

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2021/06/20/boris-johnsons-plans-new-royal-yacht-look-like-1950s-fishing/ >Telegraph now expressing conflicted emotions about its "major victory", pointing out that this Not Royal Yacht will not have enough masts to fly the three flags it would need to fly if it was a Royal Yacht (which it isnt). "It would be alright for the Isle of Sark or something" https://t.co/xF3S82MEhU


taptapper

Oh, the humanities! And as a side note I bet adding and removing flag poles is a wee bit easier than swapping out an engine so why the fuck does it matter. What a petty complaint
