A little bit of back-bone shown by XL Airways:
‘An important part of the Government’s immigration policy has suffered a serious blow after a leading airline announced it would no longer carry failed asylum-seekers who were being forcibly removed from the United Kingdom.
XL Airways, which has a fleet of 24 aircraft, said it was opposed to the policy because it had “sympathy for all dispossessed people in the world”.’
But elsewhere in the world it’s more a case of business as usual:
After upholding complaints about companies including Toyota, Volkswagen and Scottish & Southern Energy, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has told businesses that they must not misrepresent or overstate their claims to being eco-friendly.
In the rush to win over environmentally conscious customers, it says, companies are too easily associating their products with “buzz” phrases such as “carbon offsetting” and “carbon neutral” without providing evidence to back up their claims.
