Duncan's latest piece of drivel, from yesterday, is clearly the work of a disturbed person:
... confirming that our current ballot has had to be cancelled due to BA’s leadership’s preference for yet more “dirty tricks” style tactics ...
Eh? BASSA's inability to keep even a vaguely correct membership list is down to BA's dirty tricks? Have BA infiltrated BASSA's membership department? Mad, just barking mad ...

... a message simply saying that despite all their bullying, threats and punishments, we as crew are all still here and our spirit will not be broken.
'We', DH? What is with this 'we' stuff? 'You' have been fired, as have several of your ilk, for some pretty nasty and tasteless behaviour. The use of 'we' rings a pretty hollow sound.

You no longer need actual strikes to pressure the company - ballots can have the same effect, since they carry the threat of strikes.
Ah, the use of ballots and strikes has had a negligible effect so far, and will have even less effect in the future. That much is obvious. As for the threat of strikes - purrleese!!!!

We simply need to have good, strong ballot results every time, the higher the percentage the better, to keep this pressure on.
A higher percentage of an ever shrinking minority group? Lies, damn lies and statistics, but DH is sooooo proud of his little percentages. 70-something % of not-a-lot is still ... not-a-lot!

.... Oh, and by the way, this time it [the ballot] will have even more items on it. We will of course need to cover yet more breaches of our agreements that have taken place; they may have thought they had gotten away with those, but they haven’t.
Even more items? There haven't been any items on the ballot papers so far. But perhaps there is a desperate attempt to now try and find a reason, any made-up bloody reason as an excuse for a ballot. However, no attempt is made to get away from the previous ballot 'reasons', and therefore all industrial action is related to the previous ballots which means ... unprotected! Children playing with fire, skating on thin ice, walking the tightrope, etc etc etc. Futile, infantile nosnsense.


flybymerchant, you have hit a nail on the head there! DH has indeed shown his colours as a "no-good, leeching fraudster", and there are many like him still amongst the cabin crew community (Note - I didn't say all cabin crew, but unfortunately there are a couple of thousand like DH in BA ). Why don't they all just leave BA and go and suck somebody elses's life-blood?
