Unbelievably, I have just been standing in a queue with him for a Ryanair flight at Riga airport! Even more unbelievably, he's holding a Victoria's Secret bag! A present for Boris???
Lovely place Riga, went about ten years and really enjoyed it. Is this a dig at Ryanair though? Honestly don't see why people are so scathing against them, good on Ken for going with them, if I remember there were plenty of the big flag carriers operating to the UK from there but no doubt at 5 times the cost, at least.
Not a dig at Ryanair at all. They're more than fine as long as you know what you're doing and don't choose to take a lot of very heavy hold luggage. I've just flown from Riga to Leeds-Bradford for SEVENTEEN quid. What's not to like?!
It was a general dig at the snobbism surrounding the usage of the budget airlines. I didn't expect to see a politician using them, even Red Ken. I also thought it quite amusing that he'd spent his time in the departure lounge shopping for kinky underwear.
I've been on the same Flybe flight as Geoff Hoon and the same Ryanair Flight as David Mellor. Neither of them had obviously bought underwear - and if they had they had concealed or were wearing it. I've never been on a British Airways flight as any politician I am aware of - but I would recognise all of them. I understand MEP's catch budget airways quite a lot - as they get a first class ticket paid for but can choose to travel how they wish. Or such is the Urban Legend.
