Royal Navy warships could run on sunflower oil - if fresh

The Andrew Goes Green?

I shudder to think how many acres of farmland it would take to fuel one battleship for one trip. These guys buy fuel by the ton, A trip through any rural area of England at the moment will reveal how much of our farmland is under oil seed rape, which makes me worry about how much will be left for growing food.

From a conservation point of view we do have to explore these alternative energy supplies. Maybe the Andrew (Royal Navy) might consider hoisting a sail or two when the wind is in the right direction? we could coat them with photo-voltaic cells and harness a bit of the sun as well.

Good socialist principles

Maybe the Government should take all our money and issue us with ration books and blue uniforms. We could all live in barrack blocks and learn the party song:

Darling, Darling We love you,

Gordon is our hero.

We the proles will work for you,

and live a live of service.

remember: To each according to his needs, from each according to his abilities.

If you can add a verse go ahead.
