Just in case you all missed this.The media has been very sympathetic and quite understated about the flagship carrier that broke down just ONE day after leaving southern shores.

There has also been no mention of the fleet of other ships that have never sailed because of the same PROPELLER ISSUES.
Call me an old cynic but if this had happened in Scotland it would be big news.....oops ...it HAS been about the two ferries with problems even though the cost is a fraction of the cost of this one ship .

BUT ,the naval "expert" says these things happen ....so thats alright !

Seems its one rule for you and a different one for us ,as usual.
Nothing to see here ,walk on by.
Britannia rules the waves....ha bloody ha

In its TWO YEARS of life it has only made it out to sea for 87 days .Great value for money .

Quite right paddyann54 and of course we know this is because all the media is controlled by the Conservative party. Democracy at its worst.

Why this ‘you and us’ Paddy? Does it help anyone?

What a ridiculous OP.

It has been big news in the south and I’d rather listen to the Royal Navy expert’s report than your usual ‘then and us’ complaints.

I read that they failed to grease the propeller shaft. Deeply embarrassing.
