Blair Force One
So Tony wants to spend £30 million on a private long-haul jet does he? Who the hell does he think he is for fuck’s sake? Hasn’t the Royal Family had to dispense with their fleet? Didn’t they have to dispense with the Royal yacht? So does Tony think he’s above them now? Wanker!
I suspect he’s trying to keep up with ol’ GW, but GW has a good reason for having his own jet. Security. Someone might shoot him otherwise. Oh now there’s a good idea! Somebody shoot Blair. PLEASE!
Unfortunately for Tony his best pal, tight-fisted Gordon, has told him the money will have to come from existing funds. So there’s another £30 million of your hard-earned taxes being spent on something it wasn’t intended for. Sounds a bit like the Lottery to me, where profits were supposed to go to good and charitable causes but have ended up being siphoned off by this cretinous government to pay for their own little pet projects.
Personally I think they are a bunch of thieves, liars, cretins, puffs, control-freaks and ego-maniacs. Roll on polling day. And where’s our English Parliament?

If he wants to keep up with George all he needs is a mountain bike.
Oh, healthy George is it now? Doesn’t it frighten you a little that he wants to live longer?
Not at all. I hope that as soon as he is out of office he has a long, healthy and happy life somewhere far, far away from any position of influence on anything whatsoever.
Ha haaaa. Agreed. :)
Now, now Stuart, why begrudge Tony boy a little perquisite like a private jet. After all, whoever replaces it will get to use it too.
But for a really nice abuse of taxpayer money try this. A major defense contractor in New York just spent $10,000,000 dollars on his daughter’s Bat Mitzvah (the female version of a Bar Mitzvah, verry PC doncha know). Used his private jet to bring in some major rock stars, and had Kenny G play background music (actually a good use of the resource) as the guests rolled in.
It rises to a new low in bad taste.
Cheers,

Can’t say I’m a Kenny G fan Jack. Maybe if he had jetted Aerosmith in, but then they might not have been too appropriate for the occasion. ;) That’s a heck of a bill for a party though.
I’m not bothered about the fact that others might be able to use the jet after Blair. I just find the whole thing two-faced. He’s advocated reductions in costs for our Royal Family then goes in the opposite direction himself. I think this has more to do with him looking towards his next job than concentrating on his current one. It’s time he buggered off and not in his own private jet!
Hey Stuart, long time no see…. Anyway, You should see what’s happening here in Canada! I’m surprised that we don’t have a “Air-Force One” jet parked in Ottawa yet for the PM? I think here, we are cheep enough that the PM would need to rent a jet from one of the local airlines before he pulled a stunt like that. However, if his good old buddy Tony has one, I can’t see the rest of the G-8 members getting for themselves either. Sad really—tax payer’s money…when they should be spending it back on the people who have to live under their wasteful governments.
Oh, before I forget, and the reason I popped by: I got a comment from Mike http://www.geocities.com/dammracing1/home.html. He has invited me to get-together sometime in the new year and talk about you… he he he. He left a post here: http://www.thomasso.com/?p=326#comments. A connection made by the Bomb-Site.
