So Are We All Going To Get Punished For A Few Eejits?

Why don't they just ban them from flying for 5 years, then 10 then forever?

They don't care about people being inconvenienced by a few drunks. What they're doing is pandering to Muslims, and they're more than happy to take away more of our freedoms.

This here is what you might call creeping sharia

[retrocop]

It might help if flight attendants were no longer on a commission to sell some of their over priced 'trolley goods' and ground staff viewed and spoke to passengers in dept lounge before going through the gate to board.
Have seen a few tearful emotional souls being consoled at Pearson Int. Canada by RCMP officers.
My niece was a flight attendant with , now defunct, Canada 3000 airlines.

They appeared a load more responsible about the state of passengers and how much they were rationed in flight. Uncles were excluded from the restrictions. :)

What on earth have Muslims got to do with this Lynn ?

Creeping sharia ?

[ummmm]

Lyn - get a grip For Funks Sake.

[jambutty]

Come on Lynn, defend yourself.

[Mamyalynne]

Lynn has a habit of doing this, dropping in an irrelevant bombshell the off she goes - most immature.

[jambutty]

But is it irrelevant, Lord Tariq Ahmad sounds like a muslim to me. Maybe she has a point ?

[Mamyalynne]

He may be but the people causing planes to divert, frightening families with young children and punching air-staff whilst drunk are almost certainly not.

[sandyRoe]

He has a hidden agenda?

[ummmm]

Most people who cause trouble get peed up before the flight. You really think airports are going to close their bars and the airport shops will stop selling alcohol.

It's never going happen.

[jambutty]

Of course they are not, muslims don't drink.

[ummmm]

Muslims are not suppose to drink but many of them do.

[jambutty]

So some of the disruptors may be muslim then.

[Mamyalynne]

So the agenda....is to spoil others fun and not to stop the scenarios outlined, because Lord Ahmad is the proposer?


Not buying it, sorry.

[david small]

It's obvious. No alcohol on the aircraft at all. This will help a great deal.

[Mamyalynne]

As Ummmm says many are pie eyed before they board.

[ummmm]

Why David? In all the flights I've taken I've never witnessed a drunk person on board.

[jambutty]

Wouldn't bother me one way or the other tbh.

[-Talbot-]

I like a beer or two but if you can't do without for a couple of hours or so then you may have a problem.

[mikey4444]

This is bloody ridiculous........there is no Muslim angle to this debate whatsoever. Lord Ahmad is the new Aviation Minister. Does anybody know what religion the previous Aviation Minister was ?

Sometimes AB really amazes me !
