I used to talk of the "form whinge" - notably used by Leo McKinistry, who would take an event in a given week's news, and use it to launch into a frequently recycled rant about how everything was awful and it was all thanks to X, Y and Z.

Suppose using AI saves them looking up the template in Windows Explorer.

This week it’s kicking people out of wheelchairs to get out of the airport quicker. Haven't been able to read the article but I think he's accusing scammers of pretending to be disabled to get wheeled out of the plane before important people like himself.

Here's the text. He decides that the 'problem' is best solved by shaming people. Make 'em feel like lepers, maybe prod them a bit, make sure they're genuine cripples. Big bell, perhaps.

As for the rest, yes, it may well be that people have found a way of making life easier, but that's not at the expense of the rest of us. He's still getting his first class seat. He's just got a strop on because 'the handicaps' are in front of him. Rather than at the back, being pitied.

The cunt.
