I have to hand it to Stelios, the easyJet press release would make Max Clifford proud. Pure class. Text as follows:

TONY BLAIR? C'EST LA VIE!
13 August 2001
Contrary to what Number 10 Downing Street told the press a few weeks ago, Tony Blair will not, after all, be taking his family to southern France with easyJet this summer.
What a disappointment - for the other 144 passengers who would have been on their flight. We were hoping that the UK's first family would have joined the 2,000 people who fly with easyJet from the UK to Nice every day. With nine flights a day during the summer, they were bound to have got a bargain.
Never mind. C'est la vie, as they say in Nice.
We welcome everybody on our aircraft. And no-one gets preferential treatment. We've now got a few more seats for other customers. So, anyone fancy a weekend in Monaco?
More seriously though, the PM has chosen to fly to a destination in southwest France to which we don't fly. We are delighted, however, that he has chosen to endorse the sector by flying with another low-cost airline.
