MP says his bags were packed by Bin Laden, is violently ill on plane

[Tarquin Farquart]

A senior MP on an official parliamentary trip was almost barred from a flight to the United States after telling check-in staff that Osama Bin Laden had packed his bags.

The bizarre affair is disclosed in leaked letters revealing how Mr Amess complained to Virgin boss Sir Richard Branson that he had been treated ‘absolutely disgracefully’.

So, after making the weak and stupid (to say the least) joke about Bin Laden, he is ill on the plane and given a wheelchair. I do not think that the Virgin cabin crew were to know that he was going to be sick in front of immigration officials. Considering what he said before getting on the plane I think he was lucky to be even allowed to fly.

I must say I'm shocked and stunned at the complete lack of "political correctness gone mad!" posts by the commenters.

What is the Daily Mail readership coming to?

His symptoms sound an awful lot more like intoxication than any kind of travel sickness I've heard of. Making jokes in poor judgement, throwing up uncontrollably, and waking up in a hotel room without much memory of the previous day. That doesn't sound like the flu.

It's David Amess: his Shatner's Bassoon has been Caked. It was only ever a matter of time.

He's a custard gannet!

When I saw Amess's name, Brass Eye was my first thought - he's not the sharpest tool in the set. Maybe Osama poisoned his luggage.

Sometimes they're okay. In fact some of my best friends read the Daily Mail.
