New Royal Yacht in honour of Prince Philip

I suspect the palace will put a stop to it. They know which side of their bread is buttered.

A stupid idea by some MP’s, and it has not been reported that
Boris is considering it.

To be fair to Johnson (no, really....) what I read was that he is being "urged" to build a new Royal yacht to honour Prince Phillip, so it could be another invented story to whip up the masses. Daft idea.

I think naming a new RN ship after him is a good idea, but I don't think we've got many new big ships on the horizon any more, thank goodness.

No. Ridiculous idea.

I would hazard a guess that whoever is lobbying for this has a vested interest in it being built.

It will never get off the ground, a ridiculous idea. Charles is said to want a slimmed down RF going forward, a new horrendously expensive yacht doesn't seem a good fit with that ethos.

Exactly Rosie51 and I doubt that Johnson would agree to it, apart from the Palace.

Is this a windup?

If there's any money going spare I would further honour Prince Phillip by investing more in his award scheme.

Esspee

Hancock branching out into shipbuilding is he ? Or he has a mate who has ?

Isn’t it the usual suspects on the Tory back benches?

The Queen cried when the Britannia was decommissioned so let’s put forward the idea to build a new Royal yacht to honour her husband now that she is a widow.
I do hope that this is fake news but either way it is just cruel.

For whom?

What's wrong with a park bench ?

Park bench my arse

So ? What's wrong with a park bench,grannylyn ? In every park, with a plaque on it commemorating him. A lot cheaper than a yacht !

Why build a yacht? Those days have gone when they had those huge cruise ships for Queen Elizabeth. In fact where did those ships go or am I thinking of something else.

Is that a choice grannylyn65?

Is this an April Fool’s day prank? The royal family would never waste this amount of money, especially now, would they? I think it is another Boris bonkers idea. He’s a twit!

Times will change when Charles becomes king so better get the 'skates on' if there is to be Brittania 11.
