Are these MPs for real ? Is it April fools? I think the Queen can afford to buy her own yacht if she wants one ! Be good if she was subject to the same tax as the rest of her subjects too.
There's so much wrong with this it's hard to know where to start

It's not the Queens yacht anymore than Buckingham Palace is the Queens house .It would belong to the people .The Monarch is not legally subject to Income Tax (neither is the Heir to the Throne)she does however pay a voluntary sum equivalent to income tax on her private income
