Blair Force One ready for launch

Blair Force One is ready for launch. In fact, both of them are. Our outgoing PM has finally sanctioned the purchase of over £100m worth of aircrafts so that his best buddy Gordon and the Queen don't have to mix with the hoi polloi when doing "business" all over the globe. So much for global warming (though it has long been Government policy to exclude aviation from the environment debate - another runway at Heathrow anyone?). To be honest, the climate change isssue is just an easy dig at a hypocritical government, what bothers me is that it is totally unnecassary and a vast waste of public money. If Gordon Brown doesn't want to sit with the rest of us, tough.  If you don't mind, then you are in charge (aren't you?) scrap the whole thing.  As for the Queen, who I am sure is behind this just as much as Blair, enjoy it while you can because I have little doubt that if you treat the tax payer with this sort of contempt, young Charles won't be needing them.
