Being British (which, for my sins, I am) has absolutely nothing to do with it. Thank Goodness.
Whilst believing that there is a choice and would never suggest to deny people of it, it is a bit unfair to criticise British people for supporting a British airline employing British people. Are we not allowed to be patriotic and support our own companies anymore?
