Helen49 - why, in your humble opinion, should expressing what you describe as caustic comment effect ones fitness (as you put it) to hold a position in the pointy end ?!

The fact of the matter is, and whether you like it or not, that LK + BA was found guilty in the UK courts of having libelled Richard Branson & Virgin Atlantic, in respect of the 'dirty tricks' – all of which occurred under LK's tenure; or are you disputing this as fact ?!

Ok, so how about this version of a homily to the man.... ? (albeit perhaps somewhat in the same vein as Private Eye’s homily to the late Lady Di)
IN recent weeks (not to mention the last twenty years) we at the Daily Gnome, in common with many others, may have inadvertently conveyed the impression that the late Lord King was in some way a manipulative troublemaker whom was not averse to conducting underhand campaigns with the intent of discrediting rival businesses and their owners . We now realise as of Tuesday that Lord King was in fact the most saintly man who has ever lived, who, with his charitable activities, brought hope and succour to hundreds and millions of people all over the world. We would like to express our sincere and deepest hypocrisy to all our customers during these tragic days and hope and pray that they will carry on flying with British Airways notwithstanding.
