@skynewsrss.bsky.social shame you feature LCY, the only well functioning part of BA's ( partner ) Ops, rather than LHR/ LGW where the real issues exist.

@britishairways.bsky.social your spokesperson completely out of touch, independant judges have awarded you this position. I have been at the end of your dismissive service, and the utter disdain you show customers, I hope this gives you a much wake up call. #travel news.sky.com/story/money-...

Interesting read, hoping this suggests resistance is mounting and the tide turning.
I am shocked on a daily basis as to how this has happened and how this utter moron has managed to con a nation. Don the Con at work I guess.

Trump tells BBC that Russia has 'the cards' in peace negotiations www.bbc.com/news/article...

Unsure if it’s his ignorance, stupidity or naivety that make him, in his own humble opinion such a great deal maker. Or maybe he’s just taking orders?

Yet it’s fine to cede another countries territory to Russia directly. Intentional hardwired stupidity or Orange blindness? Or maybe there’s Kompromat on him too?

It really takes a special kind of #Moron not to realise why Europe does not want or need poor performing and high consuming US cars or agricultural products and why the the US wants quality products in both sectors from the EU. Quality and choice in a previously “free” market.
