The £2.5 million spent, was probably for friends of friends and donors. A good reason for some of our money to go missing.
It probably wouldn’t have been built, but if it did, it would have gone x4 over budget. Or they would have built two on the sly and sold one.
Anyroad, it would have ended up being sold off to some rich Russian after they lose power.
It would have been shit, because it looks shit and Johnson green-lit it. So it was shittier than shit. It will have been kitted out by one of his Carrie’s uni mates, and they will have reenacted that scene from Titanic on it. With Jeremy Hunt playing the cop.
Whoever thought that this was about anything other than a posh boat for rich donors and staff to go on parties is kidding themselves. That or a scam project to make some money disappear.
Probably the most sensible decision this party has made for years
Why they even thought this was going to help anyway hahaha
Just in time for Boris to come back and commission it again.
Boris Johnson buying stupid shit is no surprise when you consider his time as mayor of london
Good. Boris is such a dick! Everytime I see him he looks a mess (he’s gained all the weight he lost during covid back and more), he has nothing of importance to say and he’s just a liability.
Despite this, so many people seem to “trust” the liar, think he’s great and generally ignore his incompetence. It’s like I’m living in a different world to these people.
£250 million in total is going to sound like a lot and not a lot to some people.
But when the Government are writing to every public service and asking them to make savings from their budgets, this will be be worth 10x any savings that the entire public service can find/make. You can’t cut cloth over and over and expect it to still keep you in fashion.
It’s a complete farce given that even the Royals don’t want the bloody thing.
Ship was probably intended to be built in the UK but I bet Boris was just waiting for a shipbuilder somewhere around the world to lick his arsehole.
Bezos: *Look at that clown Boris and his silly, little yacht.*
( all the billionaires go Mwahahaha)
‘The navy didn’t want this in the first place’ speaks volumes. Where’s the checks and balances for this to even been commissioned
I think Jeremy Hunt can be a good PM, quite sensible for a politician
So surely this means they’re pretty confident that Boris isn’t going to get to 100 MP’s then?
A diplomat once told me that worked on royal yacht Britannia that it used to bring an absolute fortune into the country, he’d seen it first hand, so this seemed a good idea to me
Anything to keep the old blonde bonobo in check. It had better not make PM again.
If it did get built I feel like it would viably be a target for sabotage. Scuba gear clad fiscal conservatives in collaboration with anti-government detractors drilling holes in the bottom of it in attempts to sink it without endangering life.
Truthfully, I would support such efforts provided people were not put at risk.
Good! There’s limited capacity in UK shipyards to build the damn thing and the RN hasn’t got the space workforce to crew it
Jeremy Hunt probably: “Commander Rishi, the time has come. Execute order 66.”
I hope the boat builders that were due to construct this manage to find employment elsewhere.
Raising kids to be Socialists and lawyers is plain cruel. Neither class of human actually understands where wealth comes from. They will be public servants and employees. Poor little buggers.
Raise them to be scientists or engineers, to start a business, create jobs and wealth. Don’t cast them as ones who argue over the spoils created by others. Give them the skills to create.
I used to be in the navy and would have loved to have been on the old Royal Yacht, who wouldn’t? But it’s always been plainly obvious that the days of a Royal Yacht are over. The Queen was never going to set foot on it, and King Charles would never be sold on it.
What is up with his so-called vanity projects… like Boris Bridge (I), Boris Bridge (II), Boris Bus, Boris Bikes (wasn’t actually him iirc), Boris Boat. Is there a recurring theme here (apart from them all except the bikes being a waste of money) or am I going mad? Or are we all going mad?
Well If they do build it they should name it Boris
Yes, build more useful warships instead for our shrinking fleet.
Is this the state of affairs now? We are actually supporting and cheering for Jeremy Hunt’s decision making. Fuck.

In fact, it would have just been one big Tory version of the Love Boat. (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=m_wFEB4Oxlo)
