I had to look twice at this photo of a ship docked today in Liverpool, I thought it looked more like a new building, they shoot up so quickly these days.

They're very much posh hotels afloat these days. Not too big to sink..

Just the conjunction of my 'not too big to sink' and your 'Ideal for housing refugees'..

Raven

Ohhhhh OK,  :wink: I wasn't thinking of it that way. But now you come to mention it........

Using ships as temporary accommodation, why not?

There used to be a ship docked in the Tay near Dundee that housed boys who were homeless or had been in trouble. Being sent to the 'Mars' was often used as a threat when I was growing up.

Its not how old you are, but how you are old. 💖

Looks like an interesting ship! Just checked the map and it's gone now :(

Maybe the captain is a lurker on here, read this thread, said no way and scudded off.  :embarrassed:

Sounds good to me, send them out in the middle of the ocean until their claims are settled, then sail them back home.

Just imagine refurb costs after a shed load of dinghy boys have been on it a few weeks.   
I read that most Ukrainians want to stay close to their homeland and UK seems a bit far, unless they have family here of course.   I would have taken in a woman and her child + dog or cat  :grin: :grin: too old now......

Just to clarify I was referring to the fake refugee dingy boys, not the genuine Ukranian refugees.
