Perhaps, in their rush to portray Ms. Dean as authoritarian ("would not allow them to fly") the media failed to realise that she and her family are capable of enjoying a more sedate and scenic trip than the usual 3-day city break from EasyJet?


Her and her family are 'capable' because they are middle class and well off, making what you say somewhat of a rather unsavoury 'class distinction isssue'.

Easy jet is for the proles not the nice well to do middle class folks like she and hers. A three day train journey to Morrocco? How the hell much would that cost compared to cattle class at easy jet? They get their cake and eat it, while others can go choke to death on theirs.

If she had any honesty about herself she'd see how condescending that seems. Shouldn't she be setting 'some sort' of example? Take the bus to Bognor or something. I take it not.

For part of the charge made by enviromentalists to justify blockading airports is that 'we never used to have the luxury of foreign hoildays'.
In effect they are doing exactly the same thing as the Easy Jet passengers.
EDIT: With added impunity of course.
