James Cleverly chartered a private jet to visit Rwanda, that is not my main gripe (i am sure that as a senior Minister in government his time was valuable). But £653.55 p per person for him and his 14 officials is extortionate by any standards. This was a one day visit! To rack up this size bill there must have been pre-ordering, what plane carries £10000 of food for a 1 day return flight with 15 people? As the article below shows, this expenditure was endemic in the Tory government.
I find it hard to understand the mental state of these people! It is also of concern that the 14 others will be civil servants in the Foreign Office and still in post? Did they object or raise questions? or just tuck in! I am also intrigued as to the make up of the bill? Presumably wine was a major part unless they were snorting saffron whilst gorging on Almas Caviar with white alba truffles and Coffin Bay Oysters and maybe a cup of Wild Harvested Kopi Luwak Coffee.
The distain for common people like you and me is overwhelming!
But again, in the context of everything this is not a big deal, at least the Mail and Express, Sun and Telegraph and even Times think that getting a free (no cost to the ta payer) ticket to watch/meet Taylor Swift or Arsenal FC is a much bigger issue! That is the shit media that influences the old.
