“Throwback to COP26…
Only me getting asked to move the Israeli Prime Minister’s luggage across Edinburgh.
Next thing I ken, I’m surrounded by Shin Bet bodyguards with rifles hidden down their jackets… and I’m just trying not to reverse over a cone.
Pulled up at Edinburgh Airport like I was delivering a sofa, but apparently the man himself was flying home on EL AL.
I’m sitting in the van thinking:
‘Craig, don’t sneeze, don’t stall the engine, don’t drop a suitcase… you might end up starting World war 3 😂😂
Meanwhile the bodyguards are standing there like John Wick’s older cousins, and I’m pure nodding at them like:
‘Aye lads… nae bother… just your Prime Minister’s bags in the back here.’ Whilst their checking under my van wi a mirror for bomb’s 🤣
Honestly… only in my job would I go from shifting wardrobes in Morningside to escorting world leaders’ luggage under armed guard.
