The Labour Party would be in a rowing boat, with all the oars on the starboard side. Plaid Cymru are all in a coracle, obviously.

Oh, yes, and they're sinking because their boat is made of banana skins stitched together with pine needles.

The real greens with a proper understanding of politics would be on an engine-less sailing boat yuloh-ing their way from the pier into open water to get well away from the disaster we're creating for ourselves on land ... ...
We live close to Bursledon Bridge on the Hamble River. This is about boats, wildlife and people in the upper reaches of the Hamble, but mostly about old boats and things nautical.
