Boaty McBoatface of all things was supposed to be the biggest civilian ship built in the UK in decades so is there anything other than the marine division of BAe and whoever puts Rolls Royce reactors into subs left of UK shipbuilding in the first place?

Short answer is no - the only ships of any size that get built in UK yards these days are ones that are legally required to be (RN combat vessels), ones that come with strings attached to government funding (RRS Sir David Attenborough Boaty McBoatface) or which are the result of explicit government purchasing decisions (the Scottish island ferries are built on the Clyde because CalMac is owned by the Scottish government).

Proper full-size merchant ships (as built in Japan, South Korea or China) or cruise liners (as built in Italy or Germany) haven't been built in the UK this century. The only commercial civilian 'shipbuilding' going on is luxury yachts, fishing trawlers, small car ferries, workboats and the like.

Appledore in Devon, which built a mix of small military and civilian ships, bit the dust earlier this year and now H&W (which hasn't built a ship since 2003 and was royally shafted by the Blair government over its bid to build the QM2) is on the rocks.

Even the new Royal Fleet Auxiliary tankers, which a sensible government might have seen as a way to 'prime the pump' for getting some proper civilian orders, were built in Korea, albeit to a British firm's design.

That's not just the fancy booj clubs, it's the community courses and and woodland and nature reserves and all that.

So we could keep those and lose Pembrokeshire, which is mostly Tories.

It's sorta-kinda probable, depends on how Parliament reacts when BoJo doesn't actually resign or call and election after he loses a Brexit or other major vote and just runs the clock out to Oct. 31.

You only get support for the first two children unless you can prove you were raped.

It's worse than the one child policy, at least that has exemptions for some minority groups and you can't just buy your way out of it.

Prediction: 5 Tories defect to CUKTIG and support a VONC against Bojo. Both other CUKTIGs defect the other way along with three Libdems (one of them is Chuka). Hard Brexit sails through due to one melt vote. tibfjc.

the road to my old work yard split a golf course in two, and there was a 'buggy crossing' - because I was at work I could never shout at them, but gently caress me I honked like poo poo because the twats just drove blindly across a national speed road.

I mean we could just use Wales for that. They're already pissed off enough, it's not like they can get any angrier. Or even better, use it for nuclear waste *and* golf together, kill three birds with one stone.

Can we compromise and store all the nuclear waste in golf course bunkers?
