Default Mo Farah Incident Airport

When I first read this I read the Guardian report and was outraged that Mo would be singled out as not being someone who could have a business class ticket because of being black. Though even if he were Mo the plumber and not Mo the Olympian it would be equally outrageous to assume a black man shouldn't have a business class ticket.

However the other news tells a very different story, including the sun who seem to have changed their tune a bit since I first saw their online headlines a couple of hours ago. I'd give the Guardian more credibility personally but I included both because I also think it's interesting how the same story can be told so differently by the two papers.

The other side of the story:
