Pax sit-in at MAN

Sky news this evening
Due to a lightning strike on another aircraft in Ireland Monarch decide to land a 757 at manchester on its way to LGW from a day trip to Lapland.
The passengers were told that they would continue the journey by coach.
Well thats when it fell apart and the passengers decided to stage a sit in.
Of course the police were called and a stand off was in the air.
The Airline eventually caved in (maybe it was the demand for DVD's and mince pies by the passengers).
Eventually the 757 took off again after the airline made an agreement with the passengers.
All very well and Bah Humbug but will this set a very dangerous precident with passengers getting what they want by throwing a hissy fit and slinging the rattle out of the cot?
