Pink sailboat "Tell the Truth" ?

[fastjedi]

What type of boat is it?

I'm feeling sorry for it stuck in the middle of London. I'd like to think it would sail again.
They would get a heap of respect for sailing it round the U.K without an engine?

 

[Old Harry]

In England that would be a Sailing Yacht

I think this is not a great challenge for the inner london authorised car thieves.

The trailer looks like it is worth a few quid.

I'm waiting to find out how they intend to recycle it.

Trailer looks "illegal" lighting board way too far forward / too much boat overhang behind the lighting board.

I suspect this boat will never see water again.

I'm wondering if they towed it there with a zero carbon vehicle, or are these people the epitome of their own problem?

Back to the OP, the rudder looks like on older Trapper.

Anyone else with an old boat (or anything else for that matter) that they want someone else to dispose of for them at no cost to themselves? Just dumping it in the middle of Oxford Circus might be your answer.

Without getting into questioning BBC bias, their piece on the issue depicted a very sad reflection of our society. The protesters all looked and dressed as though they had been transported from 1970s Flower Power California.

What gives them the right to completely choke people flow around our capital city? Do they care about the financial hardship that they are undoubtedly causing to many? Or the consequences for some of missing appointments?

Selfish, inconsiderate and misguided.

In any case, AI will kill-off homo sapian and save the planet so there’s no need for this

As to the boat, surely it must be an Andersen 22. The only boat that’s perfect for absolutely every circumstance

I kid you not from the BBC website
Police have cleared Oxford Circus of protesters and have started to dismantle a pink ship that has formed the centrepiece of the demonstrations.

Ship by goss
