Soapbox: "Guilty of Tavelling whilst Asian": is a phrase used by a British muslim commentator last week- (Metropolitan Police Chief Superintendent- Ali Dizaei). His premonition came true yesterday:
A Monarch airlines flight from Malaga was disrupted by passengers who took a dislike to two co-passengers. Interviewed on TV this morning they said some passengers thought they heard them speaking Arabic, also they pointed out that they were wearing warm clothes while the other passengers wore flip-flops and shorts. Some passengers then refused to fly and got off the plane.
Is this to be expected? You travel on a flight loaded with holiday-makers from Malaga, did you notice how many were carrying copies of the Daily Mail or Sun newspapers? These two guys were cleared later by security, the flight delayed by three hours and they had to fly on a separate flight. Those passengers missed an opportunity to apologise to the two "asians". I hope they received some compensation, and learnt not to fly on a plane full of British chavs.

Apparently, said Asians were loudly cracking "jokes" about their relief at not having their shoelaces checked, though I don’t suppose they’ll tell you that in the Independent, will they?
And much as they are to be mocked and despised, it isn’t ‘Sun’ and ‘Mail’ reading chavs who make a habit of trying to blow up aeroplanes, is it?
Enjoy your return to work.

Are thos shoelace comments evidence of the Asian passengers having a sense of irony? A heartwarming characteristic in most circumstances.To your closing comment: perhaps ignorance and arrogance are something both parties have in common- in bombers and Chavs. That whole story stands as an embarrassment to this nation which isn’t diminished by comparison with behaviour that is clearly worse.
