It really wasn't meant terribly seriously. I realise that domestic flights are uni-cabin and that the leader of the opposition is probably put there for 'security' reasons, etc etc (but he's too insignificant to merit too much of that). I was being slightly t-i-c with the 'coveted' 1A (a premium seat even on a domestic) going to a hard-core socialist with dangerous ideas.

Are you getting your Milibands mixed up? Or is this more tongue in cheek than i can register?

HA! You are right, of course. I just read Miliband and had an immediate involuntary reaction to evacuate yesterday's dinner.

When did this thread become about political commentary? I thought we were just celeb spotting.

I see them all over TV and newspapers recently! The Kardashians are not getting the attention they deserve anymore. Or maybe they do.

Sir Jackie Stewart at T5 today

Sir Jackie Stewart at First Class check in at LHR T5. Seems like a really nice guy, in good spirits with the BA ground
staff team. Lulu was also checking in at the time before she took LHR-DUB flight. 15/04

Do not underestimate the ability of this thread to go wildly OT.
