Today in the front page of the London Evening News.
British Airways wants to fly.
Virgin Airlines wants to fly.
BMI wants to fly.
The pilots want to fly.
KLM, LUFTHANSA are flying…
And the government keeps the country as a no-fly-zone while sends the Royal Navy to rescue British citizens around Spain.
The BBC reports:
Jason Alderwick, of the International Institute for Strategic Studies, cautioned against expecting too much of the Royal Navy’s capacity to move people because it was designed to shift troops rather than large numbers of holiday makers. “Lord West [the defence minister] has talked about being able to lift a brigade-level of some 3,500 people across the fleet,” he told the BBC. “That’s about 1,000 per ship [based on what has been deployed]. I think that everything will be welcomed but let’s get this in proportion.”
Looks like a joke!
