In Yer Boatface

The Commons science committee is to grill the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) over its decision to ignore Boaty McBoatface as the name for its new £200 million polar research vessel. Have these idiots nothing better to do with their time than to explore whether it was a triumph of public engagement or a PR disaster? And are they not aware that public consultations have to include a silly option so that people who join in just to be silly can be identified and ignored?
 ● NERC has gone with Sir David Attenborough as the name of the ship, which will be built next year.
