What's he doing travelling on a military plane. Is he too special for commercial flights ?

[Jackdaw33]

The use of military flights to carry government ministers is quite normal.

[anneasquith]

To Brussels?

[Jackdaw33]

Anywhere abroad.

[237SJ]

No. The aircraft went tech with a hydraulic problem.

[Jackdaw33]

Do you think Gove might have been fiddling with the brakes?

There is a special RAF Squadron in the UK available for Government flights. No 32 (Queens Flight) based at RAF Northolt formerly RAF Benson .
They fly royals and government ministers world wide in either fixed wing aircraft or nationally in rotary aircraft.
Being an ardent republican and, apparently, anti monarchy you can be forgiven for not knowing that.
Your wee first lady will not be likely to be entitled to use the facility. Does Caledonian Airlines still exist for her and her fellow anti-English cronies?

I hate it when they cadge for money on planes, selling lottery tickets and scratch cards. As if our Ministers and Royals haven't got enough to put up with without being fleeced by the charity mafia while they are trying to work.

That's right no - I remember when Santa was happy on a float .........no more.

Farage injured in a plane crash and now Bojo has a narrow escape. Could the EU have a clandestine operations department set up to silence its opponents? Though if it has it's not very efficient.

The Royal Family are never troubled by scratch card lotterys and asked to put their left over foreign coins in a charity box. (a) They don't carry cash. (b) Their close protection officer stumps up. :-)

[Jackdaw33]

Wouldn't put it past them but then again, typical EU efficiency.

Well Corbyn has gone into hiding and is pretty quiet at the moment.
Let me think. It is now Monday a.m. Is it anti EU or Pro EU for jezza to announce today. Like the rest I suspect he will say Brexit is a good idea really now they lost the remain vote.
