Krakatoa East of Gatwick II

I realise that I may now be sounding like a scratched record on this subject. However, this ongoing incident has so clearly highlighted how schizophrenic and easily swayed Nanny and the media are (ie they are clueless).

Initially safety was the watch word.

All flights banned.

Then comes the baying and moaning from the Brits abroad (who regard 3 holidays a year as part of their national right), about how disgraceful it is that they are stranded in sunny climes.

The media, ever keen to change tack in order to keep a story running, then says that the health and safety issue is overplayed.

Airlines run a few test flights, and pronounce that everything is safe.

Nanny, in the middle of a general election (and worried about looking useless), sends three warships to Europe to rescue our "brave" British holidaymakers.

European heads of travel finally (some days after the event) pick up their video phones and realise that they look incompetent. They authorise the gradual unlocking of the skies of Europe.

Hoorah!!??

Wait until a plane crashes, then we will see the self same media scream that not enough was done to protect people!

The wheel of life turns full circle and strafes our buttocks!

Krakatoa East of Gatwick II

I see that Krakatoa continues to spew forth its content into the atmosphere.

However, here is a rather interesting phenomenon that I have observed over the past few days (certainly in my location in Brighton). Ever since the planes have stopped flying, the skies have been clear blue and the weather really brilliant.

Funny that!

Anyhoo, I am becoming rather irritated by the continual news reels (a delightfully old fashioned word) of Brits stuck in airports whinging that "something should be done".

It shows that the way people are cosseted and "protected" from reality, in our small part of the world, does not prepare them to cope with life's screw ups.

Millions of people each day in the world have to cope with famines, disease and starvation. They do so with far greater dignity, and far less moaning, than our fellow citizens who are stuck in airports.

I dare say though, if the stranded passengers become really hungry, they could eat each other.

Would these people prefer to be on a plane that crashed because its engines seized up?

Kudos to Dan Snow for displaying some Dunkirk spirit, if this isn't a PR stunt, by organising a flotilla of "little ships" to cross the Channel:)

Krakatoa East of Gatwick

I am decidedly gemused at the massive health and safety eruption currently spewing (and I don't use that word often enough) forth in the banking capital of the world.

Grounding planes is 100% sensible.

However, the huff and puff about the risk of lung issues though is somewhat overworked (in Sweden I am advised that they are advising people to close their windows).

That being said surely the greatest benefit of this event is that it has pushed the election off the top of the headlines, and given us all something far more interesting to talk and think about!
