Such 'floatels' are a way of solving the problem for UK.
Just tow them out beyond the 3 mile limit and let them sail away into the sunset.
But how many more can the country take?
Where will you store them?
Maybe high rise containers are the answer, or the Dartmoor open spaces!!
It is a problem that no gov of any persuasion will find easy to fix.
Labor may say let them in while in opposition, but in gov a different story I think.
