I say it's time we strike back.

Is Sweden still affected by the ash?

Just watched the 10 Downing street briefing. They sounded like they were planning Dunkirk, part II.

 Italy is preparing to surrender to the Ash Cloud and switch sides.

LOL an entire plane of government officials crashes and now a volcanic ash cloud paralyzes airline communication in Europe.

If some political thriller writer used any of these events as a premise for one of his books, everyone would say it's a stretch. 

Chapter 1: The polish government dies in a crash in katyn forest.

Chapter 2: A volcano shuts down air travel in Europe, setting the stage for,

Chapter 3: One week later, everything is back to normal.

Yes, maybe only one in thousand flights would be affected, but apparently there are some 17,000 flights cancelled today.

Acceptable losses. If the 8th Air Force wasn't willing to fly with those odds, the Luftwaffe would still be patrolling Europe.

Some German airlines seem to raise the question of who is going to pay for the - in their eyes - unnecessary flight bans.

Apparently they plan to open ARN for some flights tomorrow morning.

Pay? That's silly. You pay for flying, not not flying. I couldn't afford to stay at home otherwise.

It's election time.  This sort of thing provides Brown an excuse to look all Prime Ministerial.

Europe jumps down the Pope's neck.  Pope prays for help.  God punishes Europe.

The airlines are.

This is proving pretty chaotic at university.
The post-easter term is just starting up and loads of people are still stranded on their holiday trips elsewhere in Europe.
Wonder if the airline is covering their costs.

I´m guessing no.

Germany and Russia are negotiating with the Ash Cloud to partition Poland while its government is crippled.
