No XXXX tags would have worried me, what you have in this case is people who wanted to back the UNION but for financial reasons (loosing pay for more than the strike days) and fear of loosing staff travel went in to work.
These are the majority of people who feel bad, they went against their beliefs and that plays on their conscience.
No, that's just what you want to think are the majority, because you find it more comfortable to believe that others have been frightened into going to work. The reality is they made their decision based on the facts and don't agree with striking, something the blinkered strikers simply cannot comprehend. And crossing the picket lines is a far braver thing to do than standing at Bedfont eating samosas. BA haven't threatened to kill non-strikers, abused them or damaged their property. That sort of behaviour comes from the XXXX mob. If you're happy to defend your opinions one in one then good, but do it without a label. The XXXX tags are there for the weak minded to easily find one another and firm their nasty, intimidatory clique. Fortunately I see relatively few tags.
