    Boris wants his own plane.

    Boris Johnson says he 'probably needs' a private plane - BBC News

    And surely this man deserves it.

      Better that than having to risk sitting next to him on a long haul flight...
      His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

        Mountain out of a molehill, RAF Voyager was brought in to try and save £750,000 a year in commercial flights, but if it's not available as it has an RAF role not just VIP travel it kinda defeats the original objective if they have to go back to chartered flights. As his role is basically foreign travel he has to be up there on the list of people who need to travel the most

            There are alternatives.
            Other jets are available - one of which Mr Johnson used to fly to Russia in November - but the foreign secretary complained those planes had not been upgraded in almost 40 years.

            But apparently not smart enough for Boris.

                And your point is?

                The fact is when all you can see are some eyes through a rectangular shaped hole it looks like when you look through a letterbox and someone is looking back at you -- not done it for ages but used to keep the kids entertained for hours.

                And quite frankly they do.

                      I wonder how the press would have played this is corbyn had said it? The Tory party have a deep seated problem with Islam although it is not reported as much as Labour's Semitism problem for some strange reason and with Johnson now being pally with Bannon, maybe he's getting his orders from somewhere else now...
                      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
