LONDON- Britain is facing a diplomatic backlash over VIP travel

arrangements for Queen Elizabeth's funeral, with multiple world leaders now

requesting special permission to skip the proposed park and ride scheme and

arrive in their official vehicles.

Countries of varying sizes are pushing back against a Foreign, Commonwealth

and Development Office (FCDO) requirement that most foreign heads of state

attending the funeral on Monday park their vehicles at a site in west London,

and travel to the event at Westminster Abbey on shared coaches provided by the

U.K government.

Diplomats from five countries, including some within the G7 group of most

industrialized nations, told POLITICO they want exceptions for their leaders,

citing old age or security reasons.

The travel protocol, sent to overseas embassies at the weekend and obtained by POLITICO, would not apply to leaders such as U.S. President Joe Biden, a U.K. government source later confirmed to the Times. Biden is expected to arrive at the funeral in his armored limousine, often referred to as 'The Beast.' Other leaders with specific security requirements, such as President Isaac Herzog of Israel, could also be allowed to bring their own transport, the same U.K.

It is unfortunate that some African leaders are still seen as puppets and conduits of western policies on African soil.

It is crazy how African leaders are loaded in one bus.

The Beast” was flown to London for US President Joe Biden while African Presidents were driven by bus by President Emmerson Mnangagwa. They had to even find a driver among themselves. African leaders have reduced their self 0%

#THIS IS THE TRUE MELANCHOLY OF COLONIAL MENTALITY.😥😥😥
