All appears calm this morning at LHR T5.

That being said, there is a DXB service that appears to have been delayed overnight (reason unknown).

Unsure at the moment. I'm in CX F now but the terminal and security was the busiest I had ever seen.

What was most shocking was that it was a party of 4 adults travelling in F, 2 of the adults were elderly and in wheelchairs yet they slept in the T5 check-in concourse overnight. We know BA sometimes do not provide either hotel accommodation or information about their (notional) up to £200 self-imposed limit for hotel claims, but to leave 2 elderly people sleeping overnight in their wheelchairs tells you all you need to know.
Sounds like a perfect Daily Mail headline. Individuals have a choice. They were probably offered a hotel in central London or far from the airport which they declined so chose to stay at the airport. No one is forced to do anything, I’d say.

There is no probably about it. They were not booked any hotel by BA, nor where they informed about the BA self-imposed £200 limit for hotel claims, as required under the regulations.

my flight back from BRU yesterday afternoon was delayed by about 30 mins. The FO announced it was due to a BRU airport IT failure, requiring them to verify who was on board by manually checking names of all passengers against the manifest. Just prior to push back he fessed up and announced it was due to BA's ongoing problems.

No amount of money would tempt me into that unless there was a blank cheque also available to sort the infrastructure out quickly and properly.

Well it is a busy Saturday in August. What better day to try and roll out some fixes? What could possibly go wrong? 🤪

BA coughing up for new hires/skilled contractors to do that, is as likely as TATA fixing anything. Both unlikely.
