During the 11-minute clip, he can be heard saying he had been prevented from boarding a flight to Jamaica. He says: &#8220;My reason was because I peed myself. Literally, I got a taxi, went to the toilet and p*ssed myself so they didn&#8217;t let me on the plane&#8230; So basically now I&#8217;ve got Terminal 2 on gridlock and I&#8217;ve done it out of principle.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">As he paces back and forth along the ledge he can be seen speaking to a police officer, as he says: &#8220;It&#8217;s three o&#8217;clock I&#8217;ve been on here since I got here and now they reckon they are going to give my money back for my flight.
