Britains Debt

[gulliver1]

The UK now has the highest Debt since WW2 and what's Boris's latest Idea?
He is going to have a new Royal Yatch built at a cost of £200 Million.
as a tribute to The Duke of Edinburgh.
Borrow the money , spend it , then get the taxpayer to pay it back.
That's how Boris thinks.

yawn !

[emmie]

i like the idea, i don't mind paying towards it. The Queen was desolate when the Royal Yacht Britannia was decommissioned.

typically how your left wing pals think to be honest

the decommissioning of Britannia co incided with the Great Plebeian one Tony Blair toying with the idea of AirForce 1 for prike minister no less innit?

[emmie]

it was Blair and Labour who decommissioned the RY.

[gulliver1]

Spend then Tax, thats the Tory motto Peter.

[emmie]

Blair was indeed considering an Air Force One style aircraft, heavens only knows what that would have cost.

[douglas9401]

Less than a royal yacht and of more use.

"The Queen was desolate when the Royal Yacht Britannia was decommissioned"

Aw, poor little rich girl! She could buy ten equivalent yachts without even denting the bank balance.

[Bobbisox1]

Oh dear the Scottish contingent don’t like it haha

[emmie]

nope, that's a fact that like many things the taxpayer picks up the tab for the RF. I don't crib about it, she and her family are a massive draw to the UK.

[Bobbisox1]

Me either , I’d rather it be them than a President, any day

[Ken4155]

The Queen was desolate when the Royal Yacht Britannia was decommissioned."
Yeah, i remember seeing her cry real tears. Not those crocodile tears she almost shed when her daughter in law died.

[emmie]

we could have been stuck with someone like Blair, had we a Presidency....

[Bobbisox1]

Heaven forbid Emmie
