Blair's plane whacked by lightning

[Razor61]

Breaking news on the channels at the moment is a 32Sqn Plane hit by lightning with Blair onboard as it was on approach to London (they said) so probably Northolt.

Loud Heavenly voice,, "Damn, missed !"

Why is Tony B Liar using a military jet during a General Election campaign?? is that fair to the other party leaders?/

Anyway what a pity it missed him.

[Talking Radalt]

Ermmm, doesn't lightning occur when static electiricity discharges to earth, where earth has zero potential?
Easy mistake I s'pose.

[OKOC]

I didn't realise that there were any lightnings left flying-did his TCAS save him or was it just good luck?

[Onan the Clumsy]

Same in Yank Land. They get to use Airforce One on the campaign trail. Either by arranging some "meeting" close by a campaign event, or, I suppose by saying "well I have to be reachable in case of a crisis".

And as Clinton did it, this isn't Bush bashing, but guy-in-charge bashing I suppose

I agree that it's not fair though.

guess Blair had big smile on his face....

Problably thought it was a flashgun and someone was taking a photo !!!!

[lineslime]

It missed! I think I may try devil worship next time, who knows it may give the desired result (just so long as the crew are ok I don't give two $hit$ about the grinning tw@t).

[Scud-U-Like]

It hasn't done his image any harm. According to the journo interviewing him at the time, he didn't bat an eyelid.

I believe the ac is a civilian charter, paid for at Labour Party expense.

They say lightning doesn't strike twice - we can but hope !!!
