Gove's got an idea - http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/jan/1 ... bilee-gove

I eff despair...

A good old fashioned knees up round at my place (followed by a Knighthood to compliment my Fiso Knighthood)

I dont see whats wrong. If it wasn't for the queen.......

Clegg gets in a pickle trying to avoid the question, before saying erm erma erm hum

we're all in this together

I don't care what she gets but I get an extra day's holiday.

God save the Queen!

I’m really finding it hard to work out which one of the incumbents I hate the most. Gove is up there.

Yet another example of government ignorance or a reflection on the public as they vote them in though Gove does tend to be a particular tory outland example.

...a redundancy notice!

But when there is a one day strike over pensions its a terrible burden on the economy etc etc etc

God eff the Tories

What does that cost the country?

If we made the shite bunting and other crud that will be bought, then we could make a profit on it

Please god don't let this thread develop into a Royalist versus Anti Royalist thread, let's try and keep it neutral. ............................... God bless her

That looks photo-shopped

I don't care as I get an extra day's holiday.

God save the Queen!

You'll get at least two when she karks it

Nah. This is photoshopped

I thought I read it was in excess of 1 billion. That's small stuff in the grand scheme of things. So is the 60m yacht really worth worrying about?

I am all for it.

My only concern is £60m enough - do we want our Monarch rocking up at Monte Carlo only to be out bling'd by some trumped up gas oligarch in his hyper gin-palace. In for a penny in for a pound - she should have the best available - I am not sure what £60m buys these days but not much in the yacht world.

Raise the money by introducing a £20 charge for enjoying the Bank holiday - to make it fair pensioners and the unemployed are exempt.

On launch date it could launched down the Thames with Michael Gove tied to a floating platform with his exposed bottom in the air and the captain of the ship can then carefully manoevre the boat to see how far he can steer up Gove's stupid ars$e.

I would actually pay £20 for that

I don't really have an opinion either way re the yacht but I'm just glad we live in a country where we can post images like this without fear of getting stomped on by the government. Even the suddenly moderate Assad would have you strung up if you posted an image of him in suspenders!

grrrrr

that's put me right off my lunch

I think she'd appreciate a nice box of chocs and some petrol station flowers

With a match?

I'm sure she does not possess a slow cooker. Would be good as she's getting on a bit and she can set it up and then potter around the palace, maybe have a nap, and she won't burn the dinner.

How about a stair lift?

Not a cheap one - it could play God Save the Queen as she goes up.

Of course she doesn't. He'd be sacked if he was the slightest bit tardy.

Why settle for that. Fit it with an iPod dock and she could play any Sex Pistols song.

A mobile phone as she doesn't have one.
A cheap pay as you go will suffice

Given the millions of pounds that we have spent on the leeching eff ing Royals I think they owe US a bit of a gift don't you?

How about getting rid of their privileges, cutting the huge web of payments to people you don't even know exist and making them pay their way?

Just a thought
