Your quite right people do have rights and one of those rights is not to have a drunken woman roaming up and down the aisle demanding more wine and random sex wherever available. Insulting behaviour as well. The airline should have landed at the nearest airport had her offloaded, cancelled her air ticket and told her to make her own way home. They should then...

My late SIL was a BA ground stewardess at Heathrow. Most of her time was working on the check in desks or at the departure gates.
There is a unique coding ,they use, for particular passengers when checking in which is recorded on the boarding pass. If a potential passenger was nervous, belligerent,intoxicated,believed on drugs etc etc a code letter was recorded. On a few occasions when checking boarding passes at the departure gate she had occasion to call the Heathrow cops to deny access to the aircraft for certain inebriated passengers. It worked then. Why has it changed now? I am talking 1980s before she died.

//Well, Glasgow / Edinburgh / Aberdeen / Birmingham / Doncaster / Heathrow and Gatwick. So not really 'most' or 'large'.//
Why is the simplest of comments so contentious?
The eight busiest airports in the UK are Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester, Stanstead, Luton, Edinburgh, Birmingham and Glasgow. These eight (out of 40 sites recognised as "airports") cater for 80% of the country's passengers and 60% of aircraft movements. Wetherspoons has 13 establishments spread across six of them (with none at Manchester or Luton). So I would say "most" and I would say "large".

The woman in question was flying from Abu Dhabi , I doubt she’d have been drinking heavily there? Or do they relax drinking rules once inside of the departure lounge bin the Emirates? And what is the flying time from there? about 6 hours? She’s must have downed copious amount of red to be so aggressive , unless she’s like that in drink, some people are, never mind 4-6 weeks in Strangeways might help but somehow I don’t think it will
//"Wetherspoons has 13 establishments spread across six of them"
8...//
No. They have 13 establishments spread across six of the eight I considered to be large airports (based on passengers and movements).
The two I did not consider are Aberdeen (which is the sixteenth busiest and caters for just over 1% of the nation's traffic) and Doncaster (#22, 0.4%).
// Because it's incorrect.//
The only way it can be incorrect is if you expand the definition of "large" to incorporate more airports. You would have to go down to #12 on the list (Liverpool) when Wetherspoons would have only a 50% presence (hence not "most"). I don't consider airports lower than Glasgow to be "large" based on their passenger numbers, though I might possibly squeeze in Bristol and Belfast. But that, of course, is subjective rather than correct or incorrect.
