That Royal Yacht 'problem'

From Lucy Manning (ITV) on twitter:
"@lucymanning New yacht to be for education & royals. Money from Canadian businesses £10mill, major donor pledged £5mill, Foyles 0.5mill for library."
Right, that is £15½million - £45½million to go.


Personally, I would like to see this gain public support - if only to teach our elected dictatorship that what we want we will willingly pay for. It is things we don't want, like annual EU fees (lets face it, 1½ days payments = 1 yacht); political 'personal largesse'; 'not fit for purpose' energy policies; unnecessary, flawed, railway lines and 'misplaced' overseas aid that we grudgingly pay for.


Just saying.........
