Porky's Place

About Bloody Time!

Businessman Mirko Fischer didn’t take kindly to British Airways assuming he was a pedophile simply because he’s a man, so he’s suing the filthy bastards.

As you may know, B.A has a policy of not letting men sit next to unrelated children on any of their flights, presumably because we are all a bunch of sick perverts. Imagine if they did this with the major perpetrators of child abuse, namely women. Imagine the captain whispering to a hostess “Hey there’s a woman with her child over there, keep an eye on them. After all, most bad shit that happens to kiddies is the doing of mommy dearest.” Ha! There would be a huge outcry and the captain would be tarred and feathered!

How about not allowing black people to sit next to kids in case they sell them some crack? Not allowing lesbians to sit next to little girls in case they try to “convert” them? How about not letting Muslims sit next to an unaccompanied kiddy lest they persuade the ankle biter to blow up the plane? None of those scenarios are about to become reality of course, as women have the rich and powerful to protect them and the other groups have the PC police, but with men, it’s always hunting season.

The policy itself is bad enough, but the crews on British Airways flights don’t simply wait to bump into a man who is sitting next to an unaccompanied child, they actually patrol the plane looking for such occurrences!

This is exactly what happened to Mirko Fischer while traveling with his pregnant wife. The missus had the window seat, Evil Male had the middle seat and some twelve year old boy unknown to them had the aisle seat, when some jackbooted steward asked him to move lest his innate malevolence contaminate the poor child. Needless to say Fischer was outraged but decided to comply after his persecutor threw a hissy fit that ended with him yelling “Schnell!” at the top of his no-doubt high pitched voice.

Said Fischer…

‘A plane is a public place  -  cabin crew regularly walk down the aisles and passengers are sat so close to each other. The risk of any abuse is virtually zero.

‘Furthermore statistically children are far more likely to be abused by a member of their family. Does that mean that BA are going to ban children sitting next to their own parents?’

Probably, but only the male parent.
