Poor Britannia! British Airways will no longer be doling out beef on its long-haul flights to those of us who have the pleasure of soaring through the skies with our knees folded into our foreheads. Naturally, the Daily Mail has taken this as a chance to - surprise! - work itself into a slightly xenophobic flap, suggesting that this decision was driven by the airline's desire to serve non-beef-eating Hindu passengers. Alas, in pursuing its particular agenda, the Mail once again fails to be a real paper of the people, missing the opportunity to highlight the plight of the real victims of this cruel decision: people who enjoy economy-class cuisine. I mean, the chap who edits this website will surely be gutted.
