@Keir_Starmer Go now and show some dignity Boris

[Simon Richards @convenus]

@JohnGlenUK please ask Boris Johnson to have some dignity and resign before he ruins the Conservative party

Hospitality and hairdressers will all benefit from pent up business from day one but events will have to wait up to 6 months for any income from restart!!! #bbcqt

@Conference_News @MIAuk @BorisJohnson Forget tier 1 and 2 what about events businesses that have been deprived of any income since March?

[Simon Richards @convenus]

@AndrewMarr9 why has the PM been given free time for effectively a party political broadcast and not been forced to answer tough questions?

[Simon Richards @convenus]

Where is the logic in allowing pubs in Manchester to remain open BUT members of 2 households cannot mix? Does not bode well for anyone from HMG understanding the challenges conference and events business @bvep_uk @ChairEIB

[Michael Hirst OBE @ukeventsexec]

A blip on the way back as @BorisJohnson calls temporary halt to business #event pilots. #Meetings up to 30 & #outdoor events still permitted. Industry plans #campaign for more support during uncertain times & hopes conditions allow October opening as currently planned. @bvep_uk

[Simon Richards @convenus]

@ChairEIB @BorisJohnson @bvep_uk No hope for our industry when HMG allow pubs to remain open in Manchester BUT ban people from 2 households from socialising in them! Where is the sense or logic ?@ChairEIB @BorisJohnson @bvep_uk

On Thursday morning @HouseofCommons. Petitions Committee debates #Petition, signed by many in the industry, on “Government to offer economic assistance to the events industry during COVID-19” Ask your #MP to support. Follow @HoCpetitions Watch live: https://t.co/OjYZAjZaX9

If it’s safe in competitor countries it’s essential if the #Uk #events industry Is to open successfully for #SocialDistancing guidelines to be reviewed. Evidence of economic impact critical in understanding difference between 2m and 1m distancing.

@The_HBAA Sorry Lex - not every business . No help for any business that does not occupy a property regardless of if you employ staff or not or the self employed. Lets hold off with congrats until everyone is treated fairly.

It would be OK if #airindian could admit to their mistakes and refund money taken for services not provided rather than just ignore their passengers

[Simon Richards @convenus]

@airindiain I have tried to make a genuine complaint and request for refund for additional payment where the service has not been provided. Please can anyone provide me with the contact details of a Senior Executive or the Formal Complaints procedure/contact

[Simon Richards @convenus]

And be prepared to be ignored as no one ever responds - as for esteemed customers - this is a joke - #FlyAI take your money but do not refund when they don't deliver - shameful.#airindian

[Air India @airindia]

#FlyAI : We would like to inform our estemeed passengers that for booking related issues please use our website, mobile app, or visit city booking offices or authorised agents. Job aspirants should visit our website to check any notified vacancies. (2/3)

[Simon Richards @convenus]

Just a shame AI don't look after their fare paying passengers - or refund when they don't deliver. It would be nice to even get a reply to my complaints but nothing. Guess I'll have to seek redress by contacting outside agencies now?

The national carrier once again comes to the rescue - this time to evacuate Indians from Wuhan, the site of the outbreak of coronavirus. This mission begins today with a Jumbo 747 operating between Delhi and Wuhan.

@airindiain
AI took payment from me for 3 extra legroom seats in July -on the flight in November these were not provided and i was advised to claim a refund. This refund is being refused by AI as they claim that we received the extra legroom seats - untrue Is this how AI funded

@bjp_adarsh_ @airindiain Lucky friend - I am still waiting for a refund of seats charged for but not provided. Cannot even get a reply from @airindiain who obviously don't care

[Simon Richards @convenus]

@BrianMJMcMullan @airindiain I agree completely @airindiain are very happy to take our money but then do not provide the service.I booked 12 seats in July 2010 - 9 of which were extra legroom. 3 turned out not to be due to an extra row but @airindiain refuse to repay or even acknowledge my complaint.
