At which point during his bedtime read with his nanny, did Michael Gove dream up the fairytale idea that it would be a good idea to buy the Queen a new yacht for her diamond jubilee?
I presume he sits in the same cabinet meetings that are making cuts and taking money from working people's pockets as David Cameron, Nick Clegg et al?
Maybe Wayne Bridge sitting in Manchester City reserves getting paid £200,000 a week might wish to contribute? Or any other so called Premiership footballers come to that.
Meanwhile Mr £250 a week warehouse operative and Mrs £5.80 an hour office cleaner is wondering whether these people live on the same atom in the universe as they do.
As Minister for Education, Michael Gove should be sacked purely for being stupid. No other reason need be given. So far, Cameron has come across as rather more sensible than most of his underlings, having being forced to reject many of his minister's bizarre ideas not to mention defending them for dressing up as Nazis. Nick Clegg seems to be far more the mature one in the partnership. It doesn't bode well for the future of Britain at all. It comes to something when William Hague actually looks like the most mature of the Tory party these days. God help us.
Whilst the rest of the world have mature politicians, we have a bunch of public schoolboys, fresh from sniggering and maturbating about the words "tit" and "fanny", who for some bizarre reason, were voted into power by a nation whose primary pastime is watching You've Been Framed and Britain's Got Talent, when it clearly hasn't. The Tory party and the cabinet in particular are proving it in fine style.

I hadn't seen that one!!!!
How stupid...the Queen gave up her beloved yatch because of cost/repairs etc.
Pleased to say I never voted for either of these parties, we know where my loyalty lays as I am anti EU

It's political money in the bank, unfortunately: lots of right-wing types love the dear old queen and think she should get a new yacht. It's no surprise that the campaign to get her a new yacht was started by The Daily Mail...

Unbelievable...Gove said it would be a wonderful present for the Queen, give work to thousands of people and give young people adventures in it??? I didn't know young people went off and had adventures in the Queen's personal yacht??? Deep bloody sighs...I heard this this morning and Cameron and Clegg both came out saying it wasn't going to happen, this evening, it seems it might happen...
Are they truly crazy?...! -

Mick, if you didn't hear it this morning Start the week, I've put a link to it up, is so worth listening to...a real eye opener and connected with this farcical suggestion...re costs etc...The newly ennobled Lord Maurice Glasman was very interesting...a Labour peer...put the blame for our troubles at the feet of Thatcher's monetary policies...no surprise there but had some very interesting comments on workers and management relationships...

You do know they are naming it Titanic and giving it an Italian Skipper don't you?

It was indeed very very bizarre how this clutch of Old Etonian prat-u-likes got elected. If Brown had had the dignity, integrity and guts to go when the writing was on the wall instead of having to be almost dragged out of no 10 by his trooser bottoms; who knows we may have gotten a Labour/Lib Dem coalition instead - possibly the lesser of the two evils.
I have an urge to set up the " DVIOETP "TM ( Dont vote it only encourages them, party ). That way we'd win a devastating majority every time, what with an average 40% turnout at the polls thats a whopping 20% majority.
Wanna join, anyone?-

I watched an old Monty Python video a few nights ago, and one of the sketches was an 'Election Special'. The Silly Party and Extremely Silly Party kept winning, even though they looked exactly that!

I heard this today Mick, and my first reaction was to say out loud. Buy your own yacht for Christ's sake!
