There is gross discrimination at Terminal 5 at London’s International airport.
We have a special area where there is special help for those needing someone for a wheelchair etc,. However although there is often a two or three hour wait, there are only seats, no tables to hold food or drink, no television, no newspapers or magazines, only an arrangement of chairs to sit and look at other disabilities.

When I went for a sandwich and a drink to the general area, I indicated to the helper pushing my wheelchair, a table empty nearby for me to sit. I was told that I was not allowed there in that area !

I was taken back to the special area where there were no tables on which to place my drink.
They kindly took me to the Staff Room for a table.

This is London 2008 and horrible degrading discrimination.
