Offer F on another date, F on another route to the same destination, or a refund to your ( second rate) CW cabin, or a full refund. Whatever it is, don't quibble. But FFS don't hide behind process and procedure on First class bookings when you've caused the problem to begin with. Or attempt to shame a customer by saying it was a "cheap" F ticket.

BA isn't becoming Aldi or Costco. It's the Poundsaver of the skies.
And with a new customer who, should they enjoy BA F could well be a repeat customer if handled well.... The mind boggles at the sheer incompetence and lack of basic customer skills knowledge really doesn't it.
