Twitter fans slam Ian Poulter for business class whinge
English golfer Ian Poulter has copped a hilarious social media backlash after he took to Twitter to complain about the downside of flying business class.
Golf fans slammed Poulter Twitter after he complained about his wife having to look after their four children alone and unassisted by the family nanny.
The world No.29 booked seats in British Airways' business class for wife Katie, their four children and nanny, only to be told one ticket had to be downgraded and so the nanny was relegated.
"Booked 6 business seats for my wife & nanny to fly home & @British_Airways downgrade my nanny so katie has no help for 10 hours with 4 kids," Poulter wrote.

@IanJamesPoulter That news is just terrible Ian. I hope those 4 kids don't suffer too much like those in Gaza. How awful for the family.

@IanJamesPoulter haha, some single mums aren't lucky enough to have a nanny. Or fly business class.

But Poulter decided to defend himself.
I don't see what the problem is. I work as hard as everyone else to provide the best for my family. So I can share my opinion. #Thankyou
