Re: Were They Right To Object?
My mistake CusCus. I should have specified STRANGERS and the way they were acting at the time. This isn’t about just a foreign language but how the speakers are behaving and where.
But talking about many languages in your office is just a red herring. You KNOW the foreign speakers. No one KNEW the two men on that plane.

Re: Were They Right To Object?
Well, there is something certainly odd about these two characters. It would appear that their trip to Malagar was a £300 day trip....a "recce" for a forthcoming holiday. They claim they had just finished exams and were stressed out, and wanted to check out this holiday destination.
As far as I am aware, Universities and Colleges finished exam sittings at least 6 weeks ago....so what were these two really up to? And what students can these days aford 300 quid for a day trip, with at most a few hours on location?
Anyway, read further in this bit from the The Guardian. This "newspaper" is, of course, the biggest apologist for terrorist attrocities in the UK, so if its coming from them, then summat was definatly up...

Re: Were They Right To Object?
One other point...we've seen these two jokers interviewed on TV. Have we seen any of the frightened passengers interviewed on TV? The flight crew? I think not. Where is their side of the story? Its all very reminisent of Northern Ireland in the 70's & 80's, is it not? People just to afraid to speak out.

Excellent news.
I can speak in tongues and look odd.
You only get a measley ten quid per day if they lose your luggage, so this is definetely woth a go.

Re: Were They Right To Object?
Another devil's advocate bit coming up here -
What if these two men were perfectly safe and were not a threat but the aim was to deliberately get thrown off the plane? They may get compensation, they may get the politically correct brigade saying that they were treated wrongly, etc. However, the next time that two men get on a plane and behave suspiciously the pilot may have less conviction to throw them off - the next time they may be carrying a bomb. In other words, they might be deliberately crying wolf.
As it happens I don't believe that for a moment, I think mass hysteria and paranoia sunk in and the pilot responded badly. He should have sent them through more security checks and got the police to conduct interviews with them and he should have got the police to reassure the passengers.

Sounds a little bit like the government and police we have installed in Iraq. A government British men and women have, and are, dieing to support as we speak.
An eleven year old child kidnapped and then killed by police for being forced to work as a prostitute.
A very civilised State of affairs we've introduced there.
