Actually, a great comment from a viewer:

Shame the commentariat we currently enjoy do not seem to see fit to analyse what might be meant by such an assertion from one of our political 'leaders'.

The maritime analogies abound, but I'll pitch in with 'rudderless; and 'up a certain creek without a paddle' for now.

The current crew navigating the ship of state are of course so far beyond help it is not funny, but I weep for all aboard who they are taking down with them.... only without the benefit of index-linked life-preservers given to all who enjoy their tax, fine & fee-funded largesse.
