@IanGatters @RachelT1722 Yes, they had several days notice to make reasonable accommodation they of which failed to make they know it’s not real

@RachelT1722 @JamesSergeant11 So when someone with Tourette’s threatens to blow up a plane and states openly that there is a bomb in their bag - your assertion is that the airline simply ignore it. Is that correct?

This woman is about to get a disciplinary from her bosses and British Airways should be sued to fuck; the police haven't arrested the boy (I assume) and tourettes is covered under the equality act 2010; how are we still here in 2026 with this?

@RachelT1722 @IanGatters It won’t even end up like that the lawyers will beg British Airways to settle

@IanGatters @JamesSergeant11 He has tourettes you spanner, he can't help what he says.

@IanGatters @RachelT1722 Section 6 13 and 15 equality act 2010 it’s an open and shut case

@JamesSergeant11 @RachelT1722 Which law has she broken.

@IanGatters @RachelT1722 For breaking the law

@RachelT1722 Disciplinary for doing her job competently and professionally?

@IanGatters @aviationbrk Well, she’s still gonna lose her job

@aviationbrk A very difficult situation handled expertly well by her.

🚨 NEW: Armed police marched a 13-year-old boy with Tourette syndrome out of London Gatwick Airport on Saturday after he shouted "bomb", leaving him and his family stranded. British Airways refused Mason and his family from boarding the Spain-bound flight at the gate due to safety risks. A spokeswoman for BA said it was "an extremely difficult, complex and distressing situation", adding Mason's condition was not the reason for its decision. "Due to a number of contributing factors, the decision was made not to allow the group to travel on the flight," she said. Tourette syndrome is a neurological condition, external that causes people to make involuntary sounds or movements, known as tics. Video: gemma.entwistle1

@savoy_girl @SphealPup @TheGriftReport She’s gonna be the fall woman when British Airways get sued

@SphealPup @TheGriftReport It doesn’t matter if she handled herself “well” the decision to not allow boarding was discriminatory.

13-year-old Mason Entwistle with Tourette’s was left in tears and refused boarding on a British Airways flight after an involuntary tic caused him to shout “bomb”. The family from Harwich, Essex, had pre-notified BA weeks in advance, supplied a doctor’s letter confirming the condition, and Mason was wearing a visible disability lanyard. They sailed through security without any issues. But at the jet bridge the BA duty manager blocked them, telling the father: “We are not refusing him because he’s got a disability. We are refusing him because there’s been a threat made that he has a bomb in his bag.” Armed police then escorted the devastated family back through the terminal. Mason was left sobbing on the floor repeatedly apologising to everyone around him. The family missed the first two days of their £4,000 Spain holiday and had to rebook with another airline. Were BA right?

@RachelT1722 @morleyisgod @aviationbrk Disciplined no gonna be fired she’s a legal liability and a perfect fall woman

@morleyisgod @aviationbrk The law is on the kid's side here and she is about to be disciplined by her bosses and British Airways facing a lawsuit that'll be settled out of court with NDAs.

@SOL_Grabber @Yooks_26 @joshpearson180 Actually, they could always just inform through the intercom that he’s got Tourette’s that is the definition of a reasonable adjustment

@JamesSergeant11 @Yooks_26 @joshpearson180 The law says he can’t be discriminated against because of his disability. The law also says BA have a duty of care to all of their passengers. Allowing him to board, knowing it will likely cause undue distress to their passengers is also against the law.

The full video explanation of why the boy wasn’t allowed to fly Do you think British Airways were right for doing this? You can’t just go around shouting ‘bomb’ on an airplane 😬

@SOL_Grabber @Yooks_26 @joshpearson180 He doesn’t have a choice in what he says and the law is clear

@JamesSergeant11 @Yooks_26 @joshpearson180 Having a disability doesn’t allow you to do anything without consequence. There’s more than enough reason to remove someone whose behaviour suggests they’ll cause a commotion in the air.

@Bi9_6ow @Yooks_26 @joshpearson180 And cops commit crimes all the time

@JamesSergeant11 @Yooks_26 @joshpearson180 She literally has armed police behind her backing her up

@connor300918 @Geraint2019 @BBCNews The Law will disagree with you

@JamesSergeant11 @Geraint2019 @BBCNews No he broke the rules and was punished. He wasn’t discriminated against

Boy with Tourette's refused flight for bomb remark bbc.in/4e1oRQd

@Kerrineedshols @Rach8674 @frankie2001mia @British_Airways Section 6 13 and 15 equality act 2010 it’s an open and shut case

@JamesSergeant11 @Rach8674 @frankie2001mia @British_Airways How can they be sued for taking action on the basis of a threat?

This you @British_Airways "We are not refusing him because he's got a disability. "We are refusing him because there's been a threat made that he has a bomb in his bag." HE HAD HIS DIAGNOSIS LETTER FOR TOURETTES WITH HIM. They split up his family and they had to pay £2.5k

@ayyo_jide @ThePureDrop @MichelleS070 @BBCNews And the law is clear they can’t do that

@JamesSergeant11 @ThePureDrop @MichelleS070 @BBCNews BA would just say that they would throw off any person who says 'Bomb' even if they aren't disabled to keep aircraft safety and prevent cabin-wide panic.

@AlienSupara @ScarlettJimmy @BBCNews The law supersedes protocol end of

@JamesSergeant11 @ScarlettJimmy @BBCNews They had a protocol in place and they followed it. Not following because the boy has Tourette’s would set a precedent an exploitable loophole that you truly do not

@SteveBa15722015 @joshpearson180 She broke the law BA will probably be seeing as a legal liability.

@joshpearson180 Right or wrong , him saying “ you will not have your job tomorrow if we do not get on this plane” is an utter wank and entitle thing to say!!

@Yooks_26 @joshpearson180 She won’t, she broke the law. She will face the consequences which means being fired for being a legal liability.

@joshpearson180 Bloke bullying the BA worker by saying she won’t have a job tomorrow…proper Karen him 🤦🏻‍♂️

@Kerrineedshols @Rach8674 @frankie2001mia @British_Airways They won’t have a choice in a bit they’re gonna be sued then settle and pay emotional distress damages, recompensation

@Rach8674 @frankie2001mia @British_Airways Why should BA cover their costs? He made a threat, whether he could help it or not he made a threat.

@ScarlettJimmy @BBCNews You should add soon to be former manager she’s be the fall woman when they settle no solicitor in their right mind would defend a case like this in court literally they will beg BA to settle

@BBCNews So the actual video the family posted to shame the manager paints this all in a very different light. He repeatedly made bomb threats (starting from the gate) meaning they had to enact the policy. The manager was very sympathetic and professional. It’s a sad situation all round

@silly_images @BBCNews BA are screwed in the courts but I doubt it would even go that far. They will settle to avoid any backlash

@BBCNews oh fuck off!! 'we aren't refusing him because of his disability, we are refusing him because of his disability' ??????????

@ThePureDrop @da5705 @ayyo_jide @MichelleS070 @BBCNews Honestly, British Airways are screwed no solicitor in their right mind will do anything but settle the case outside of court

@da5705 @ayyo_jide @MichelleS070 @BBCNews Have you overdosed on stupidium? He's a 13yo boy who went through security and was denied boarding at the gate. Other members of the party were able to board. His parents gave notice but it wasn't enough notice.
