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.

The optics of a fleet of private jets chauffeuring the ruling class to England while we are being shoved into golf carts is too much and they know it.

The latest I have seen is that world leaders must come alone, no entourage. The wording made it clear that it is ONE PERSON PER COUNTRY.

Are all these narcissistic elites going to allow this?
No, they are not going to go by themselves on a bus like a common commoner.
They will send a lower tier representative.

And could you imagine Joe licking the custard bus windows all the way to the funeral?

The possibility of the UK Foreign Office overruling Chucky is intriguing.

No...Elizabeth has total control over her own funeral. I’m sure there are pages and pages of directions...and that she directs in the footsteps of her father.

Good, that means Biden, his wife and entourage will need to cross the Atlantic in a bus. (snicker)

Great catch, Travis!
I’ve always suspected this was all about returning the European privileged class back into power.
Two World Wars should have ended it.

Yep. Peasants live in freezing hovels and eat the bugs, while the royals stay royals.
