While we’re watching movies back in Coach, Business Class gets a live show!
On an Air India flight this weekend, a 50-year-old woman who identified herself as a “f*cking international lawyer” wanted herself a “wee bottle of wine” and when airline staff refused to give it to her she put her finely honed advocacy skills to work.

In fairness, taking wine from middle-aged white women is a war crime. Alas, she just couldn’t get things to crumble her way. Her argument that she would have gotten more wine if she was a “rich Indian f*cking money grabbing bastard” which is racist but also probably true because flight attendants routinely assume men can keep on drinking when they clearly have had too much. Unfortunately in life, as in genocide, “if they did it, I should be able to do it, too” is largely unsuccessful. Hence, the woman, Simone O’Broin, didn’t get any more wine, but did get a trip to the pokey as London authorities arrested her upon landing at Heathrow.
