But if it is affecting BA global operations, ie the ability of planes at outstations to return to the UK (see above post about someone stuck on a plane in TLV that cannot return) then it doesn't matter if is "just some issues at T5". If T5 is where 80% + of BA's flights start from and return to, I would say that the issue is pretty global?
BA trying to downplay it of course!

They REALLY need to come up with a solution in the next weeks. Doesn’t matter how much it costs. This needs to be solved asap as it’s getting worse every few weeks. How can they operate such a terrible service?

Ah yes, that well known expert of BA's operations, recently heard during those high winds of mid-February excitably claiming, "uh-oh. he's too high, he's waaaay too high" at around 30% of flights coming in to LHR that day. Guess what, in the 30-45 minutes of his TV that I saw, none of the flights he had claimed this about went round again, they all landed safely 
Still, if Big Jet TV says it is T5 only then it must be true and the bloke who posted as being stuck on the plane in TLV is wrong - it's T5 only don't you know

Well it appears to be impacting Edinburgh - lounge are back to pen and paper to let you in, and advised that there are IT problems that are predominantly impacting LHR flights, but my LCY flight may be impacted or slightly delayed....

Also posted this on another thread as I didn't see this one!
Is this only affecting Terminal 5 LHR? Is Terminal 3 affected? LGW flights have all departed on time both long haul and short haul with the last short haul out today leaving for Amsterdam having taxied early from stand at 1555.
BA Cityflyer also seems not to be affected. Looking at Flight Radar24 BA flights still approaching LHR and landing but nothing appears to be departing.
One exception appears to be BA 374 LHR to Toulouse which left Heathrow at 1603 although 90 minutes late.

Captain had just announced that we should be on our way in the next 25 minutes or so as problems fixed, long haul is being prioritised and we are at the head of the queue!!!
