Missed a trick

I heard an English oil worker being interviewed about his escape from Tripoli. The airport was chaotic, the British Embassy officials were furious that there were no British planes available and he was told to wait in the VIP section of the airport. Suddenly there was an announcement: there were 50 seats going on a Polish plane heading for Warsaw. He grabbed the opportunity and subsequently discovered that this was the plane generally reserved for the Polish President. It's strange to think that Cameron, a PR guru, was in the region and failed to send his own plane to fly a few people home.
