Errr...because it's the law?
The easy way to have sorted all of this out, and have a profound effect on the psyche of the British electorate, would have been for Gordon Brown to have declared that stranded travellers would have had additional monies made available to them, whether by way of credit limit increases or availability of funds in their accounts, and that any additional accrued expenses would be written off / paid by the banks.
Job done, sorted.
