An army of 100,000 could easily turn out 1000 barges a day!
Low skill labor, I could organize that.


Who would make the oars ?

Use math, 30,000/month, disposable on the beach of choice.
No hoax, brits would "likely" be overwhelmed.

I think its very nice that the asylum allows you access to the internet
but they really should take more care about your medication.

Can you imagine 30,000 underpowered barges drifting around the Channel
at night with the RN running laps through the herd swamping them for
sport? No need to shoot, just raise a wake.

When I lived in Kent we used to watch with amusement the
launching of boats built by people like Ken. The idea that
building a sea going boat can be done just as easily as
building a garden shed leads to rapid disillusionment.

We used to take bets on how far they would get before sinking.
the record was 10 miles, most started to disintegrate as soon
as they left the beach. Fortunately for them the local coastguard
volunteers would usually call the RNLI and a lifeboat would
pick them up.
