as holiday destination it certainly has a lot going for it.I have ,of course, been there
What!?!You have been on a foreign jolly whilst the poor in your home country are unable to afford such expensive luxuries.You're a heartless capitalist!You could have dominated that money to a charity.
Agreed.

Is that the Tories Secret Manifesto? data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
I'm sorry, I'm a little confused here? Are the right saying spending a fortune on doing up the Royal Yacht, a move being sponsored by a man who's dept is decimating the British Education system, is justifiable?
On what grounds pray?
Bearing in mind of course that the govt has cut LEA spending to nil, has cut schools Capital (buildings and equipment) spending by 90%, and is looking at cutting jobs across the board? Also consider that schools across the country are now in debt to their local authority because of these moves, and because funding has been moved from proper schools to the new 'Free Schools', this will mean less teachers per pupil, declining standards in the built environment in teacher morale oh, and of course declining educational standards.
Let's not forget of course, the same prat, is introducing new 'teacher grading' which will create 'super teachers' (do the Tories spend too much time reading kids comics?) 'master teachers' all of which requires half a ton of extra paperwork and non teaching time to achieve.
And there was me thinking the Tories hated Red tape........
Still, it's much more important for Gove to be pushing for non existent cash to be thrown at the Royal ****** yacht!
Give the guy a break I say, preferably permanently.............
Interesting... Yes, lots of really stupid people in government innit... You must have heard the saying, even a broken clock is right a couple times a day? What about judging ideas on their own and not on dogma or party line? Will the boat create jobs, unite the country in something positive, showcase British design, craftsmanship and possibly relaunch an industry in the eyes of the world?
What are your thoughts on the 100-billion plus train to nowhere that's initiated buy labour and approved by coalition government? When we would already have a high speed rail if the infrastructure was maintained etc... Aren't we buying German trains now and British train builder is firing employees?
