I agree...
Airlines should be prepared where possible to hold the last flight of the day. There are some exceptions.... Sometimes the destination or departure airport has noise abatement restrictions and and the flight may not get landing permission after a certain time.
However, there most certainly should be a regulation which requires airlines to have staff available to provide support to stranded passengers. You ought to have been given a hotel and food vouchers.
Just one point. It doesn't strenghten your claim to allow yourself to starve and develop gastro problems. You should have been given vouchers but if you needed to eat, you should have bought food and claimed this. Courts expect you to behave reasonably and mitigate your damages. If you were without money, you may not find them sympathetic to someone travelling penniless, if all the restaurants were closed, the vouchers wouldnt have been much use anway.
I think you have a reasonable complaint that you were not treated fairly. When you write, try to avoid piling on every irritation....it can undermine your case.
