Back Seat to FA

Evidently invigorated by having buzzed the fiend Putin and got away with it, at least one incarnation of Grant Shapps has been practising for an election-saving war against the Heathen Chinee. Britain's Minister for Wog-Bombing was flown from Canberra to Adelaine in the back seat of an Australian air force fighter, as the authorities had been given the impression that he was some sort of dignitary. A spokesbeing proclaimed the stunt a demonstration of Australia's defence capability, evidently assuming with similar optimism that either Michael Green or Sebastian Fox is capable of assimilating much more about a Boeing FA-18 Super Hornet than those sweet middle initials.
