"Now look," (pointy finger, serious eyebrows),"it's a modern image we need to project abroad. When I - I mean we're licking George's bum in The War Against Terrorism, we need efficient, rapid transport to take me and my ego worldwide. I mean, let's face it, protection of our diamonds...sorry, our interests are best served by face-to-two faced meetings" (Concerned expression, sweaty armpits)"We simply can't rely upon ageing and unreliable aeroplanes which still smell of Maggie's perfume and Dennis' scotch like the VC10. It might be alright for the military to fly around in 40 year old aeroplanes, but this is New Labour and we need to move ahead with the times - this will be a shining example of smart procurement, OK?" (Stern look) "But Cherie and I and the kids won't be using it on holidays, of course - 'Two Jags' can have it then - it'll be big enough to carry his fat ar$e about" (Ingratiating smile and sycophantic laugh).
