Window Seat

BUSINESS magnate Alan Sugar has been slammed by Twitter users for taking up a coveted seat on a flight to Australia.

Sugar was “lucky” enough to score a seat on an Emirates flight to Sydney last week, despite around 30,000 Australians remaining stranded in the UK (TD 17 Sep).

The media personality was flying to Australia to helm Celebrity Apprentice, and sent out a tweet about his fondness for Emirates, broadcasting his ignorance about the situation which had been unfolding.

Sugar’s tweet was blasted with angry replies about his “typical tone-deafness”, which is exactly what you’d expect from someone who embraces the prefix of “Lord”.
