Now Luton airport or an airline let him down by losing his wheelchair - something he will be compensated for.

But we are treated to pictures of him dragging himself along on the floor.

He didn't need to. He was offered a wheelchair and help. It wasn't self propelled and therefore not up to his standards - so he refused and presumably organised photographers.

So are we entitled to have every bit of help exactly as we want it?

Yes I do . He should have got his mate who was filming him to push him in the wheelchair. Pretty sure he'd have got more pressure sores from dragging himself along the airport floor than sitting in a wheelchair. Screams of attention seeking.

I assumed he was making a point. We didn't know who he was before.

I'dve thought being pushed in a wheelchair (you can wheel yourself) would be less 'humiliating' than pulling yourself across the floor surely?

imo the most important question as how the fuck they lost his wheelchair. that to me is the big issues, not slagging of a disabled man.

Airlines lose baggage. No one knows yet if it was baggage handling at the originating airport or Luton. It might have been mislabelled at check-in. Someone may have stolen it.

Being disabled doesn't give you carte blanche to be an arse.
