BBC's Gardner criticises airline after crawling to toilet on flight

Writing on the BBC website, Gardner, whose legs were paralysed when he was shot six times by al-Qaida sympathisers in Saudi Arabia in 2004, said the experience on the LOT Polish Airlines flight was "physically deeply uncomfortable and also, of course, quite degrading".

"In this instance it was humiliating to have to shuffle along the floor of an aircraft in front of other passengers in my suit," Gardner said.
