According to the Daily Mail (who initiated the campaign to build a new Royal Yacht on 12th November this year, and designed a blueprint of it) the 80 million pounds would be funded by 'donations from individuals and corporations'. It would, they say, earn its keep by being chartered by various organisations. If these 'individuals and corporations' have 80 million pounds to spend, would it not be better to use the money to generate employment for the young? Or any other charitable/beneficial enterprise? And why let the Queen use it? What does she propose to contribute financially? (Nothing, I bet!)
