So the problems of the return trip dictated how the outward journey should be made? Please! A more accurate answer surely would be that even the most regally appointed RAF plane would have been nowhere near luxurious enough for Emperor B.Liar. More evidence (as if we actually need it) of politicians making free with tax-payers money, no more, no less.
