I dont like blair and his bunch of self serving tossers he calls a government but its about time the UK had a proper transport for its head of state and PM what ever you may think of them.
Saw a picture of some former Soviet state's transport whose PM had an A300 to run around in and how many other smaller and less industrialised nations have you seen turn up at a summit with all sorts of tasty kit and our PM turns up a battered 146 or ancient Tristar or VC10 that doubles up as a tanker.
It's the old British disease that no one can do well unless they be criticised. How dare someone do well and show off their success.
Well i say that this country is succesful despite our leader. Yes it could be better but then we'd only find something else to moan about. So get the biggest plane you can find and at least have some pride in that rather than criticise his blairness.
Airforce one to the Americans is a status symbol and when the US president turns up somewhere people take note because he turned up in one big get to **** aircraft. Blair turns up in a chartered BA 777/747 and im sure people ask why cant the 4th richest economies leader afford something better.
A340-600 for the long haul stuff and a 321 for Europe.
Rule Britannia etc
