The Royal Yacht - for 30 minutes a time
Michael Gove, minister for bad ideas and a man who once declared his love for Tony Blair, had a new wheeze today – wouldn’t it be a great idea if we all put our hands in our pockets and bought the Queen a new yacht. The family, with its castles from the Scottish Highlands to the South of England, the Royal Train, the Royal Flight etc, are clearly deprived so he saw this as a great way to mark whichever jubilee it is this year. Those on the lowest incomes, many of whom have been told to either work on this day or lose a day’s pay, are, I’m sure, delighted.
I have a better idea. In a socialist society the Windsors would be able to apply for social housing – in fact in a needs-based society they would be near the top of the list due to the high levels of worklessness in the family. If they applied to live on the Sherwood Estate they would be in easy walking distance (and connected by an excellent public transport system) to Dunorlan Park. There, for a modest fee, they can take a boat out on to the lake.
