That's more like it.

LMFTFY.


ISWYDT ;)

As Oli noted, my point is that there is no way to tell by looking at a customer if they are a molester or not, to discriminate anyone based on sex, colour or beliefs to say they are more likely to be any kind of person is just wrong. If you saw a picture of Harold Shipman and didn't know he was a serial killer you wouldn't know it just by looking at him. Same if you were to look at anyone.

All convicted of/wanted for child molestation charges, all female. It does happen, and you REALLY can't tell just by looking at someone, it's not like Nazi Germany where Jewish people have to identify themselves

If it involves locking a child molester in a box with a young boy then no, you probably shouldn't post it.

I remember her well. She was done for having an affair with a 14 year old school boy. I think the general opinion was "lucky boy", although the events clearly demonstrate poor judgement and seriously messed up her life.

Well I wrote to my MP expressing my disgust for this policy, and he has written back stating that he has written to the Government and the Chief Executive of BA about it. I'll post an update when I receive the forwarded responses.

I would have said that as he was with his pregnant wife if they wanted him to move they should bump both of them up to first class.

Also I thought that it was illegal to allow kids to be sent unaccompanied because of child trafficking.

Either way BA have screwed up.

From what I understood the kid was with his parents but in different seats.

Well the airline should have put the kid with the parents. Still not an acceptable reason for BA attitude.
