    Its the fact he suggested it. And he has overall responsibility for our children's education. Do you reckon he cried at the Royal Wedding?

    Good. But the fact he even suggested it (as did Willets) speaks volumes of the fact they haven't got a f.cking clue.

    Can anyone tell me the difference between phone hacking and Guardian 'obtaining' e-mails?

    Good point.

    I assume 'obtaining' an email is when someone in the department forwards on to the Guardian rather than they hack into a secure and PIN protected email account to read 'em.

    Same goes for the Express 'obtaining' expenses records.

    They'd probably have it built in Hamburg or Rotterdam as well ..... seems par for the course with this country's actions

    Never going to happen, might as well hand over the keys for Scotland to Alex Sammond if they did.

    They probably just followed Oliver Letwin round Hyde Park and fished a copy out the bin

    An excellent idea. Having at one time been involved in overseas sales, the royal yacht was used as a base for the adverising of British goods (Trade Fairs etc.) and not as some of you morons think, as a floating jollie for HRH and Co. Sorry chaps, your socialist/replublican instincts have got the better of you.
    And by the way I'm not a Tory!

    Aye, those countries without a royal family (and associated yacht) really struggle with trade.

    I don't care one way or the other if HRH gets a new boat to use two weeks every year.

    What I do object to is that Gove wants Public money ie tax payers, to pay for it.

    If this boat is so important to GB Ltd then I suggest that volutary donations be made with the proviso that only Millionares can contribute. They only want 60 million which is loose change to Branson, Green, Ashworth and Co. Throw in a Earldom or two and they would have the boat afloat by the end of March.

    It never made a penny for the people who were forced to pay for it and it was a burdon on the hard working tax payer.
    That's why they got rid of it. It wasn't economical.
