@KLM_UK - can you please explain to me why, for my flight NWI to PRG, connecting in AMS, I was put on standby for the PRG to AMS leg, subsequently didn't make the flight, spend 20 hours in AMS, and have been refused compensation?

UPDATE - a journalist has just been attacked with a bottle to his head at the #BlackLivesMatter protest outside Downing Street. Witnesses say he was filming an arrest when he was attacked by a group shouting “f**k the daily mail.” He said he doesn’t work for that newspaper.
