This is not about why or if the PM should have a dedicated aircraft. It's more about how it's costs are presented to the people who will ultimately pay for it and at £2k an hour, I'm no expert, but I'd say they are way off the mark. Even todays ACMI rates are higher than that and that's for a bucket and spade aircraft.
I sense deceit creeping in (again) when it comes to what government tells Joe Public.
Funny though, within a week of people bombing close to the border of UK, and Mr P confirming it was a bomb in coke can that bought down one of his countrie;s jets, David wants his own private jet.
Call me cynical....
Junior Doctors in UK to strike because they are underpaid and were offered 11% pay rise to a start salary of around £25k and government want doctors to work weekends too.
As a comparison, salary for a railway signalman were more than £30k over 10 years ago.
Government can buy into a private jet whilst cuts to the police and health are going forward.
I say again, the country is f***d.
