i havnt read all the posts but I assume this all happened in flight and not on the ground.
if it was on the ground the foul mouthed individual should have been offloaded.
In the air the crew should have intervened decisively making it clear his behaviour was not acceptable and his language even less so. If it did not stop then the captain should intervene and make it clear that failure to comply with his instruction to stop would result in the police attending on arrival and potentially a diversion.
someone being foul mouthed may be the precursor to violence and on board an aircraft that is not acceptable.
my kids have flown F/J since 8 weeks old. I would not tolerate such behaviour even if my kids cried for hours ( actually one did on SIN LHR such that I almost requested a medical diversion) no one said a word and the crew were outstanding. It wasn’t BA.
so those who advocate child free premium cabins. Get over yourselves. It’s public transport. Simples. In 35 years of flying the drunks, the weird and body odour challenged have all outnumbered disruptive kids by a factor of a 100.

I had a poodle and various cats as my seat neighbour and loved them. They were all quiet, although some cats were a bit stressed and meowed quietly (almost like whimper-meow) in protest. I felt rather sorry for him/her. We (general adults) force them (cats, babies, children below the age where they can properly protest etc.) to fly even if they might not want to want to.
Not allowing animals in the cabin is one thing I feel a bit sad about BA (and other British airlines, it's not their choosing I believe, but rather the law) though, but then, I can imagine threads complaining about animal allergies and pets in cabin, or barking dogs in the cabin
A simple solution to that anyway. Make the airline R18

From time to time, I detect some very one-sided views in some posts where some take the view that their travelling party have the right to disturb others but others aren't allowed to disturb them.
P.S. Just for clarity, I'm not saying your post is one of them at all, in case it sounds like it by quoting yours...

Well the sad thing is after reading several posts on this thread in support and against the little man verbally abused in First class it doesn’t surprise me it happened.
Will I fly first again with the little guy? Yes I will be booking first class flights for Christmas.

whats disgusting is parents who dont give a fu!k (not you) or self entitled muppets wanting vontrol over the N-1 seats when they only paid for ONE.
if you dont like it? go to the back. or get a private jet.
adults are way the bigger problem compared to kids.

What have you got against Yorkshire?

Ah yes I seem to recall the appearance of the ghetto blaster forced the rail companies into doing that....no wonder loud music is the one thing I can't tolerate.

I'd say "It's public transport. Have MUTUAL consideration towards each other."

The good news is that I will never have to take that train again.
Going back to BA First Class, the one time that my wife flew in First Class from LHR to PEK, there was a 5 years old kid that spent one hour singing loudly. The parents did not hear him because they were passed out. To ignore that kid, my wife just increased the sound on her headsets ......
