Mutiny as passengers refuse to fly until Asians are removed.
British holidaymakers staged an unprecedented mutiny - refusing to allow their flight to take off until two men they feared were terrorists were forcibly removed.
The extraordinary scenes happened after some of the 150 passengers on a Malaga-Manchester flight overheard two men of Asian appearance apparently talking Arabic.
Passengers told cabin crew they feared for their safety and demanded police action. Some stormed off the Monarch Airlines Airbus A320 minutes before it was due to leave the Costa del Sol at 3am. Others waiting for Flight ZB 613 in the departure lounge refused to board it.
The Asians were removed, they did a security sweep, the plane took off late, and everyone was happy -- except the Asians.
Patrick Mercer, the Tory Homeland Security spokesman, said last night: "This is a victory for terrorists. These people on the flight have been terrorised into behaving irrationally.
Actually one of the other frightening things is that Britain now appears to have a minister for homeland security --- just like America. When did this happen? The first you hear of it is when it is mentioned in passing in a news item.
Who says Britain isn't the 53rd state?
