Mayor Of London Warns: The Ash Flight Ban Could Be INDEFINITE And We Need To Prepare For It

The Mayor of London Boris Johnson raised the specter of an "indefinite" flight ban for the UK's capital today as he warned the country to prepare for the worst.

Johnson said that the UK needs to start thinking realistically about the longer term implications of a ban on air travel, as the risks of flight continue to remain high.

He also questioned the legitimacy of the flight ban, noting voices in the aviation industry who believe planes can safely fly in the current ash scenario.

But Johnson wants the UK to prepare for a ban anyway, noting that this instability could last for 6 to 12 months.

Flights remain grounded across parts of Europe, with London in a particularly dire situation.

Well, at least it is more effective than barrage balloons and anti-aircraft at keeping the Germans from flying over.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Hey, this is what the eco-nuts wanted! They wanted people to diminish the use of fossil fuels. The catch was, the wanted OTHER PEOPLE to diminish the use of fossil fuels.

The beauty of Eyjafjallajokull is that it is EQUAL OPPORTUNITY!

The Soros/Algore-class rich HAVE TO CUT BACK TOO!

That's not what they meant! The peasants were supposed to do it! NOT THEM!

[Dem Guard]

Ah, didn’t they say some flights were resuming tonight?

[Plutarch]

Fire up the boilers!
