David Cameron refuses to fly private. Saves 300k

Ironic because someone accused of the world leaders not taking commercial flights during the whole Climategate ordeal...

Why, yes they did! Is someone talking from both sides of his mouth again?

 

[jillio]

A small charter plane would be preferable though. But would you want one of the world leaders on your commercial flight knowing it would target your plane as well? Just asking. Imagine the triple bonus for a terrorist with a rocket shoulder launcher knocking out a large commercial airplane with 220 passengers and one of the world leaders on it. For them it'd be like winning the lottery. I'm talking from a security standpoint. Not about some theory on global warming nonsense and CO2.

Paranoid much?

If they were Liberals, we could have them fly in a bright red bi-plane with the fuel tanks on the outside.

Nah, if they were Liberals, they would be taking the bus on clean fuel instead of flying!

But they won't if time is of essence and distance is a factor.

Nah, if they were liberals, they would drive their large SUVs to the airport and take off in their private jets to spend time on their yaught near one of their vacation mansions. But at least on the way, they might pen a speech about how regular Americans need to ride clean fuel buses and reduce their flying.
