Glad the ship is ready to launch.

There'll be riots I tell ya there'll be riots and an over throw of the government.
How very dare they, that boat will always be Boaty McBoatface.

I wonder how many Boaty McBoatface blimps will be hovering over the launching site.

if it encourages Boris to resign from something, that's fine by me...

[Mamyalynne]

As I recall most people were appeased when the decision was made to name it after David.

How dare they override the will of the people!

[sanmac]

Yes, but the aforementioned Boaty McBoatface blimps will be overriding those who dared to override the will of the people.

[Mamyalynne]

Super.

And in the near future, this ship's prow will be riding over ice even though it's initial name was over-ridden.
