More deaths in the channel.

It was; lifeboats became mandatory as part of SOLAS, which was introduced in response to the sinking of the Titanic.

In short, the Titanic was legally seaworthy (with regard to lifeboats, anyway), at the time of its sinking.

Sort of true. The titanic had some lifeboats because it was forced to. They wanted less on it. It was only a 12month certificate.

But mb made the claim that a liner is seaworthy without any. It isn't. Its a major requirement

What experience do you have running and maintaining vessels? Have you ever coded vessels?
What certifications do you hold ?
Have you even ever owned a boat or 2?

I said seaworthiness is about the vessels ability to cope with the reasonable conditions it can expect to face while at sea. This is according to its category classification. But since you have no expertise- you have no clue what this means and why it is entirely separate from requirements for a commercial passage which of course needs fire suppression, flares lifeboats, life jackets first aid kits, trained personnel etc.

It was a historic fact. It was signed off and its sister ship gave a long reliable service.

Few seaworthy vessels can cope with having their sides torn open.

Safe evacuation of a ship has to be built into its design for seaworthiness.

At the early stages no less

Any evidence that this £40m hole is down to the little boats?

You do have some actual figures to prove it ?

£40 million? Pfft! True blue gammons like MBK don't even blink, when his Tory chums are wasting hundreds of billions of pounds. Why, their very own scum scrounger Baroness Mone trousered £60 million for supplying duff tat to the NHS. MBK practically knocked one off when he heard that 'good news'.

Fugging hypocrite.
 
The president of rwanda has promised to hand back money if the 'deal' fails...

I wonder which pension funds such money ends up in ;)

One only has to look at the PO corruption scandal to understand what will happen!

But enough people just don't care, vote for blue rosette donkeys, and carry on blaming johnny/jane foreigner for the sh*t the UK has been dragged into...

By their own ignorance!
