Operational Reasons?

So there I am fat dumb and happy and I receive a text message. BA have told me that they are canceling my flight back home from LGW due to "operational reasons".

This leaves me with a slight problem as there is no flight home until Sunday - so I am stranded in London for an extra 2 nights and my opinion of BA has just gone through the floor.

I am just guessing - obviously - that as I have been given so much forewarning of this that it can't be an aircraft going tech, and given the fleet that BA have I can't believe they would have trouble finding a suitable replacement a/c for the route. So I am left wondering if they have just pulled the flight due to a lack of pax. As the customer service office doesn't open until 0600 I was wondering what recourse I have with BA to be able to find another way home or do they have a duty to provide me with accommodation until the next available flight departs on Sunday. Anyone any ideas?
