He is well protected and very well should be.

I was under the impression that there were two 747s that the president uses, incase of failure, and I also understood that the aircraft only becomes "Air Force One" when it is being used for presidential duty.

I'm disappointed the President of the United States of America uses a plane. I thought he'd run into the nearest phone booth and up up and awaaay!

Now that's something it'd be worth seeing in the holding pattern over Heathrow!

'There were riots on the streets and bloodshed in the City'.

For feck sake,

There were a number of protests as there always are at the G- meetings, the vast majority was peaceful with even people playing music and dancing.

There was one incident as there always is and the media try to make it out like there was chaos everywhere.

And as I said in another post, look at the picture of the guys ‘raiding’ the bank, there are more photographers taking pictures than there are ‘rioters’
