Tony Blair is dammed if he does and dammed if he dosn't. Britain has the 4th largest economy in the world. He is paid a pathetic £145k/annum. Compare that to the ceo's salaries of medium size companies and it is derisory. He also will not get a multi million pound pay off come the day he leaves office(voluntary or involuntary). I would rather he used aircraft of the Royal Flight than some minor and inconsequential member of the royal family. The bloody aircraft are there to be used not to sit around looking pretty.
