NIGERIAN- BORN Christian Laolu Opebiyi phoned a prayer group called ISI ( standing for Iron Shapes Iron, a biblical quote) while waiting for the aircraft he had boarded to take off.
A fellow passenger took alarm, believing he was sitting next to a terrorist contacting ISIS. Police stormed the plane and removed PLEASE would the Leave campaign tell me what is going to happen to the Statute Book – given the deep entwining of our law with that of the EU – over what period and with what being given priority?
And please would the Remain side tell me how we are ever going to get concessions in the future when even the threat of leaving has produced so pathetically little?
Oh, I forgot. They are too busy chucking insults at each other to answer serious questions. the Christian. Thus far I can understand where everybody was coming from but once it was clear that Mr Opebiyi was harmless it was quite wrong of the pilot to refuse to fly with him on board.
What reason did he have after the police had cleared up the misunderstanding?
Why did somebody not I AM grateful to George Osborne for finally agreeing not to raid pensions, but quite apart from alarming half the nation he has done the Conservative Party enormous damage.
Until the Chancellor’s recent antics the only government which raided pensions was Tony Blair’s. Now Osborne has tarred us with the same brush.
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VIGILANCE AND PANIC
reassure passengers and then apologise to him? Does easyJet believe all black people at prayer to be terrorists? Would the passenger who demanded “What do you mean by prayer?” have asked a white chap in a dog collar and telling rosary beads the same question?
Vigilance is one thing but panic quite another. Once Conservative governments believed in promoting pensions provision but that was when they also believed in free speech, innocent until proven guilty, traditional marriage, grammar schools and the worth of a woman who stays at home to bring up her children.
Whatever happened? I HAVE no difficulty with the idea that we are going to have to get used to working longer and will quite cheerfully keep going until I am in my 70s, but what I strongly object to is expecting oldies to work and then discriminating against them in job offers and financial services.
People are regularly refused employment in their 50s and have been told they are too old for mortgages in their 40s.
We are either retired or we are workers but we cannot be expected to be the latter and then still be treated as the former.
