As you may have heard a volcano in Iceland has erupted spewing volcanic ash into various levels of the atmosphere. This cloud, which has been described by scientists as non-specific, organic crap, has grounded all flights in UK airspace and most of northern Europe creating travel disruption on a far greater scale then the Sept 11th attacks.
Today the airline, British Airways (BA) decided to challenge the British no-fly zone by attempting to land ten long haul flights at UK airports. This prompted an emergency meeting of senior government figures headed by the Labour peer, Lord Adonis. Rather then dispatching the Royal Air Force to do what they normally do with aircraft that threaten British airspace the government rolled straight over and lifted all restrictions on UK airspace effective 21:00 GMT 20/04/10. Hence the title of this post.
So just out of interest is there anyone left on this planet who still thinks that BA is winning it's current industrial dispute?
