Supporters want Taxpayers to buy Queen of England a $95 million yacht!!!

SUPPORTERS of the Queen have floated rival attempts to buy her a yacht for her diamond jubilee to replace the decommissioned Royal Yacht Britannia.

A self-described "group of ordinary people" have launched the Jubilee Yacht Appeal in which fans of the monarch can donate to a yacht or to a group of charities supported by the Queen.

They aim to raise £60 million ($95.5 million) to buy "one of the top 100 yachts in the world" and present it to the Queen and Prince Philip next year, for use partly by them and partly for charity fundraisers.

Michael Gove has brushed aside Britain's economic problems to propose the public donate a new royal yacht to the Queen as a mark of respect during this year's diamond jubilee celebrations, according to a confidential letter to fellow ministers.

Ya hear that England? Who gives a flying f**k if you can't afford dinner for the family - you should give your dosh to a useless Queen for a useless yacht you will never-ever step foot on!

Are these people completely spastic - the economy is teetering but instead of raising $95 million to help the needy and downtrodden, we should give more to a useless 'royal' family who have absolutely no problems affording food, power and massive homes.

Makes me sick.
