Britain needs new Royal Yacht Britannia to provide 'morale boost', says former trade minister
...that will make us all feel positively splendid I'm sure:
-It's truly amazing how many complete dipshits there are in the UK...all so utterly in thrawl to the royals and the rest of the class system. On browsing Twitter I use the "union jack" filter system: posts by anybody with one after their name can be safely ignored as having nothing to add but repetition of the reactionary drivel they suckle in the Mail or Torygraph.

Digby Jones says he would ask small export facing companies to offer £5,000 each with large firms offering more to help fund construction

Britain needs a new Royal Yacht Britannia to give the country a "morale boost" as it recovers from the coronavirus pandemic, a former trade minister and head of the CBI says.
Lord Jones of Birmingham, who as Digby Jones ran the CBI for six years from 2000 to 2006 and later served in Gordon Brown's government as a minister, said a £100 million replacement could be funded by a "three-way split" between businesses, taxpayers and the National Lottery."
