From the article: "Eventually the man is let off the plane and his deportation is prevented." To me that doesn't make any sense at all.

spath - the thread was only getting 'ludicrous' because of you! She should have been frogmarched off, how dare she hold up a whole plane, stupid little do-gooder!

spath, I'd hazard a guess that everyone was removed because of her stupidity. According to the article the flight was cancelled.

Temporarily. The flight was cancelled.

From the article:

// Swedish authorities have since said the Afghan man will still be deported, //

"So considering none of us were there, we can;t talk with much certainty... can we?" You certainly seem to be talking with much certainty.

^Exactly, there are some people in my country who would let EVERYBODY who is persecuted in, but where do they all go ???

I have watched the video, spath. Every tedious second of it.

The word "apparently" does not appear in the quote I made at 1627. You have said, with some certainty, that the man was going to die; she broke no laws; the pilot was not happy with him (deportee) being on the plane.

spath at 16:43, but it IS pertinent ...

And YOU often take threads off topic, or is that ok ??
