The saturation coverage of all this travel chaos, of 'rescuing' stranded citizens,  of abandoned airports and the like , does have a  plus side  cloud9:

Hardly a peep from the 3 stooges at the moment  whistle:

HMS Albion, which was on its way to Spain to pick up troops, "may be able to be of help", said Mr Brown.

So the RN are using a ship that they happened to have in the area to bring home some 200 soldiers who got stranded in Spain on their way back from Afghanistan.

Meanwhile Gordon has put it about that HE is sending HMS Ark Royal to pick up tourists. Well only if the MOD can spare her, only if her replacement is already in the Med and only if the Spaniards agree to let her dock. It makes some sense when you remember that aircraft carriers are equipped to evacuate troops and thus have loads of spare room and supplies.
Good move on Gordon's part ~ would he have said/done this if there wasn't an election on? ..... Somehow I doubt it.
