Two women were removed from a British Airways flight at Heathrow after an altercation reportedly provoked by a Make America Great Again (Maga) cap.
The incident occurred on Saturday as the women, aged 40 and 60, were preparing to board a flight bound for Austin, Texas.
Witnesses said that one woman took offence at her fellow passenger’s red Maga hat, worn by supporters of the former US president Donald Trump, and asked that it be removed, the Sun reported.
Punches were allegedly exchanged between the two women, both booked to fly in premium economy, before they ended up squaring up to one another in the cabin. When the captain called for assistance, police arrived at the scene to escort the passengers from the aircraft.
There’s a guy at work who wears a MAGA hat all the time. I often think about telling him I want nothing to do with him liking a fucking Nazi but have to be civil and polite because he also acts the same way. It fucking sucks I can’t tell him what I really think because we’re in a professional setting and it would be stupid to start something up.
If he’s bringing politics into the workplace, that’s unprofessional behavior, and he should be reported to HR.
And just because you work together doesn’t mean you have to be friends. Only talk to him when it’s strictly necessary and ignore him otherwise, and he’ll probably eventually get the hint that you don’t like him.
…he’ll probably eventually get the hint that you don’t like him.
You give them far too much credit.
My job is also pulling the stupid “no political discussion because all opinions need to be respected” bullshit
The opinion: immigrants should be deported, queer people killed, and women’s lives entirely controlled by men
At my company, is have to tell that guy he can’t wear that hat because we don’t allow people to wear political stuff. I’m not a fan of dress codes, but I’m a fan of that one.
