DL,

I remember it well. It rather encapsulates one of the biggest failures of logical thinking displayed by many in this dispute, namely the tendency of many pro-strike supporters to define what they want as "FACT" or that which they don't want as "illegal". The staff travel case is a particular example of such - despite no extant (that I'm currently aware of) UK case law pertaining to this, they've screamed and screamed about the legality of it with no professional knowledge.

It's hard to actually engage with a core group that effectively attempts to define their own reality rather than dealing with the one they actually inhabit.

As for the faux trades-unionism and channelling the spirit of Keir Hardie, well it beggars belief. Still, nice to see them eating themselves alive elsewhere over the latest set of perceived outrages.
