Not outrage, just the feeling that this is the standards that our country have sunk to when doing a royal tour.
Not for one moment do I sign up to the argument for building a new royal yacht in these austere times, but I do feel we could have done better, this projects the image of the UK to foreign countries, and a tanker in any shape or form projects just one image.
We talk the talk about being a world leader, projecting a force on the world stage, yet when it comes down to backing that up by presenting ourselves to the world, a knackered old tanker is the best we can put up as a backdrop to a high profile tour.
Even your third world leaders can do better.
