What a farce. Give each team an Enterprise and tell them to get on with it

Well maybe.  But there wasn't going to be a British boat in Auckland any other way.  The Kiwi press will have a field day.  They are still smarting from being beaten in the Rugby World Cup.

Ineos has not done any fracking in the UK, and I don't think it has done any fracking anywhere else. It will have used oil products obtained by fracking, but so have I and so have you.

That the boat sponsored by a fracking billionaire who has just dumped the uk after campaigning for Brexit is a dog made me smile, I'm afraid.
