Is it ironic that this story appears in the Daily Mail considering it's probably their harpy like screeching on topics such as paedophilia that prompted the policy in the first place.
(if it's even a true story...)

This is what I mean by "not just the government". Press generates hysteria, and government makes knee-jerk reaction to bring in more legislation.
The country is run by cretins and cowards who have let irrational memes spiral out of control to the point that innocent people are treated like criminals, and lynch-mob mentality prevails over decency and common-sense.
In my country a man, a tourist with a camera, was savagely beaten up by an ad-hoc
mob after some woman on the beach yelled "paedophile" and pointed at him.
The hysteria has obviously reached such proportions that people on the fringes think
that it is socially acceptable to beat someone up because of the slightest hint that he
might be one of them child molesters.
The phenomenon has obviously spread internationally but I suspect it originated
either in the US or UK.
I hope that this guy from Luxembourg wins his suit
But to be fair (and I feel like a canadian making three posts in a row after a few beers), it's not just the guvmint.
Basically, anyone who has ever smoked a joint, broken the speed limit, shagged a hooker, or got into a bar fight is potentially excluded from any public position from government minister to a classroom teacher by the squeaky-clean whiter-than-white expectations of press-intrusion and criminal-record checks under which we live. This leaves the field clear for jobsworth Mary-Poppins-like characters to take control and set up a ruling elite who revel in stifling social controls - lecturing and hectoring us over every aspect of our lives, from what we eat and drink, to what we put in the rubbish, to the type of light-bulbs we are allowed to light our homes with, and they won't be satisfied until there is a camera in every room monitoring every detail of our lives to ensure that we are not ****ing small children up the arse - because apparently, that is what we are capable of if we are not saved from each other and ourselves.

Hear hear. Personally I declared war on the EU when I learned that they're
going to ban incandescent light bulbs and force us to use that power-saving
sh1t.
I could do with more Mary Poppins-like politicians here though. We haven't
yet reached the level of having holier than thou politicians as our problem.
What we have here makes weed-smoking, bar-fighting, hooker-shagging
guys look like boyscouts
Now that's ridiculous. In Germany, you can't go to a playground without a child accompanying you, now you can't sit next to one on a plane in Britain? What's next, France forbidding adults to talk to children?
How can they tell someone not to use a public park which their tax dollars help pay for?
So what laws should the British government pass on this privately-owned company to dictate how they seat passengers?
I don't know much at all about the British airline industry. That said, one scenario where legislation might be appropriate would be if competition has been regulated away, in which case restoring that competition would allow customers to properly punish BA for such a stupid policy by flying with someone else. Aside from that or a similar scenario, I agree with the point I think you're making. Stupid policy, but allowing private companies to do stupid things isn't the mark of a nanny state.
You can't even tell the truth about Krauts anymore in Britain
It's a known FACT that people yelling in German is funny.
I'm consitently stupid- Japher I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned
