No Bad Optics Please: Global Leaders Told to Take Bus, Avoid Private Jets When Going to Queen’s Funeral
Breitbart ^ | 09/12/2022 | Peter Caddle

Posted on 09/12/2022 7:02:00 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Foreign bigwigs looking to attend the Queen’s funeral have been asked to leave their private jets at home by the UK government.

Those dignitaries looking to attend the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II have been reportedly asked by the UK government not to come to the event in a private jet, and that they will also be required to leave their personal cars and helicopters at home for the state occasion.

While justified with reference to logistical concerns, the request may also avoid negative headlines about the environmental impact of traffic jams in the skies of private planes on one hand, and allegations of hypocrisy from world leaders who preach net-zero for others but enjoy private air travel themselves. Similar was witnessed when Britain hosted the previous COP26 green agenda conference, which saw hundreds of gas-guzzling private jets arrive in the country carrying officials talking about climate change.

According to a report by POLITICO, official documents detailing the procedures for the funeral request that foreign dignitaries, including heads of state, arrive in Britain on commercial flights where possible.

For those that insist on using private jets, however, UK officials have requested that “less busy airports” around London are used, with the official document notifying foreign dignitaries that the city’s Heathrow airport will not be available for private flights or aircraft parking.

Also imagine if some counties can use helicopters while others have to send their leaders by bus. The president of Guacamolestan might declare war on the UK if he is the first country below the line.

While not-yet-crowned King Charles III travels around the U.K. in private jets and helos. Do as I say, not as I do.

That just means they fly their jets to an airport out of sight and mind and take the bus from there.

Real story. Joschka Fischer former German secretary of state and once the environmental secretary had his Mercedes limo pull over, pulled a bicycle from the trunk, and then rode into town where the cameras were.

All optics, all bullshit.

But the kids and media eat that up today.

Bad optics will occur this winter when people freeze to death. Bad optics will occur when millions in the 3rd world will die of starvation next year.

Biden will fly into the nearest US military base (Mildenhall?) and the Secret Service will be in charge of the bus. If other passengers are needed, State Department will recruit some NWO stooges.

I'm of the opinion that the reign of Charles III might be the end of British monarchy.
Aside from that, I agree that 'our betters' may be heeding the dangers of Marie Antoinette's attitude.

Their cowardliness is disrespect to the queen’s memory. Probably intentional.. from their own cognitive dissonance. Which being leftist, they have in abundance.
