The Daily Mail and Ryan Air in a thread about religion? Throw in Thatcher and Martin Lewis somehow and we might have a Blondepoker-armageddon.

I'm not a huge fan of Ryanair but I don't see that they have done anything wrong here?

If you book with Ryanair you know it isn't flexible. £200 each to book a flight the same day isn't bad.

Of course Ryanair has a point.  They need to look after the customers from the bombed airport first.  The Foreign office still deems it a safe place to travel to.  Surely this lot can sit tight for a couple of days and then come home.  If that isn't their choice then the airline gives surrender monkeys the option of changing flights for £200.  I just don't see an issue here.  In the wake of the 7/7 attacks I wasn't on the blower to the daily mail complaining about how worried my folks would be if I was forced to remain in London.  Yeah, I know people have died, but my mum might worry a bit if I don't come home.

Though, to be fair I'd happily pay the £200 to avoid speaking to the daily mail. 

Is that what you wanted Tighty?

That's a great post DaveShoelace. However surely religion isn't the only thing to blame? If you don't have unstable environments extremism doesn't come to the fore. Western meddling/foreign policy in this instance is the main reason ISIS are what they are today. I'm aware the politics of the region is complicated but is there any reason why we can't put more pressure on our own governments to start leaving the Middle East the hell alone?

On a slight tangent

As in previous incidents, the security services knew these men were dangerous and did nothing.

The blood of the victims is in part on their hands.

I believe that is mostly always the case but the security services also have a mandate of what they can and can't do.  I am not advocating extending fwiw for reasons that muckthenuts pointed out.   

We should be engaged in changing behaviours and that starts at the top of Govt.   

The blood of many are on the hands of the security services, not just the innocent victims in Belgium.
