'Very poor tweet' - British Airways tackled over England vs Wales pre-match message

PA

British Airways have courted controversy after wishing England good luck in their Autumn Nations Cup match against Wales.

The UK’s national carrier have apologised after tweeting ‘Good luck to the England rugby team against Wales today’, seemingly forgetting that they are the defacto national carrier of Wales too.

It triggered a lot of Welsh folk on Twitter, who were at pains to point that Wales was still very much part of Britain. British Airways deleted the Tweet and apologised, saying – not unlike one of Eddie Jones’ England defenders – that they had “unintentionally strayed offside”.

Wales’ Health Minister Vaughan Gething tweeted: “Good way to annoy 3m+ potential customers”.

“British Airways wishing England luck against Wales in the rugby today is better than any other advert I’ve seen for Welsh independence.”

“Cheers lads.”

The official account of the YesCymru, who advocate Welsh independence, were quick to use the opportunity to make a political point.

“To be clear, even when Wales becomes independent, it will still be a constituent part of the island of Britain.

“Your brand isn’t “UK Airways,” it’s “British Airways.”

“Regardless, we’ve had enough of this unequal, broken “union.”

“I know BA sponsor England, but they could of just left it at “Good Luck to the England Rugby team”. It’s the “against Wales” that isn’t very “British”… Well actually it’s seems to be the case as of late.”

In 2018 England Rugby and British Airways formed a new partnership which will saw the airline become the inaugural principal partner to Twickenham Stadium, as well as a principal partner and official airline partner to England Rugby.

RugbyPass columnist Andy Goode isn’t giving Wales much hope, regardless of British Airways blunder. “For the first time in many years there does seem to be a significant difference between the two sides on paper and Wales’ best bet might be to hope for an absolute downpour, which hasn’t been forecast, to level the playing field a bit.

“I just don’t see any area where the home side has the edge and when you add the massive contrast in confidence between the two sides at the moment into the mix as well, it could be the biggest margin of victory for England in this fixture since the hammering in a World Cup warm-up back in 2007.”

TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY IS A GENUINE CRYPTO RECOVERY COMPANY


It was a cold morning when I first realized the full extent of my loss. I had invested 150,000 euros into an online crypto platform, believing in their promises and the allure of quick financial success. But as the days passed, I discovered it was all a scam. My money was gone, and with it, my dreams of financial security.

The feeling of helplessness and devastation was overwhelming. I tried everything to recover my funds contacting authorities, searching for solutions online, and connecting with others who had been through similar scams—but nothing seemed to work. I felt completely lost, as though there was no way back.One Sunday, feeling utterly defeated, I decided to visit Grace Church in Dublin, Ireland. I was searching for some peace and comfort. During the service, I shared my story with the congregation, explaining how I had been scammed and lost everything. I didn’t expect much—just a chance to speak to someone.

Afterward, a fellow parishioner came up to me. He had been listening closely, and after hearing my situation, he shared that he had once been in a similar place.

He had fallen victim to a scam too, and like me, thought his money was gone for good. But someone had recommended a service called TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY to him. He decided to reach out to them, and with their help, he had managed to recover his lost funds.

He suggested I contact them, believing they could help me too.

Though I was skeptical, I was also desperate, so I wrote down their contact information. That evening, I called TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY. From the moment we spoke, I felt a sense of professionalism and empathy that I hadn’t encountered before. They didn’t treat me like just another case. They listened to my story, took my concerns seriously, and reassured me that they would do everything they could to help.The recovery process was detailed and transparent. They kept me updated regularly, explaining each step they were taking. Weeks passed, and though I was anxious, I held onto hope. Then, out of nowhere, I received the incredible news: TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY had successfully recovered 95% of my 150,000 euros. It felt like a miracle. I couldn’t believe it. Thanks to the team at TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY, I was able to regain my financial footing and rebuild emotionally. I’m now more cautious than ever, but I’m also deeply grateful.

Without the kind recommendation from that parishioner at Grace Church, I would never have found the help I so desperately needed.

Today, I’m on the path to full recovery, and I can confidently say that TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY gave me a second chance.

Their dedication and expertise truly made all the difference in my life.
