Queen to buy £10 million private jet
Proclaims the Telegraph article.
However, as you read on you discover that the Queen is not to buy it at all but the government is from taxpayers money.
Given that the Queen has a personal fortune of over £200,000,000, and given that it is a private jet, perhaps she should fork out for it instead?
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
Do you really want us to be a tin pot country?
ReplyDeleteIt's also time we commissioned the Royal Yacht Britannia II. A sea trading nation without a national ship?
I think we already are a tin pot country.
ReplyDeleteLet them commission it themselves.
"A sea trading nation without a national ship?". The good old days. I think I read about it in history lessons and the British Empire.
I think the queen is at the mercy of the government as are the rest of us!
ReplyDeletecherrypie: Perhaps she just wants to get her grandchildren something to play with?
ReplyDeleteCannot let her become destitute though, can we? :)
ReplyDeleteJames: I think she is too old to become a street walker...
ReplyDeleteShe only wants one jet?
