Brown goes Red... does it REALLY matter?

Our beloved Prime Minister, Gordon Brown (MP for Kirkcaldy & Cowdenbeath) has decided that a new contract to save the taxpayers money is needed, and is ditching the British Airways contract for a Virgin Atlantic contract.

Whilst Virgin might crow until the cows come home about this, lets take a little step back

• Idle planes don't earn money - therefore slicing 30% off a plane bill means you're trying to make money at least which will hurt some way.
  
• Refit of a plane - the plan is to install a conference room. That'll knock the plane out of semi-regular traffic even further....
  
• The Green Government - Well - the only thing that comes out of this are both Yellow and Brown. VS are selecting a B747-400.. which are a bit less fuel efficient than a twinjet of any sort (~7%). So nice own-goal there on THAT Policy.
  
• And remember... in year or so there will be an election. Things change...

As long as we don't have SRB crowing about this every 5 minutes, it's something....
