It would be interesting to see who politicised the dispute first. There is one ongoing contradiction through most of the rhetoric presented on pprune. Are we saying that the SWP has infiltrated the Bassa executive, or is it just the Mailers having a froth.
In my time, I have had dealings with comrades, but the two Bassa reps that I have spoken to, were poles apart from Wolfie. It just doesn't sit right, having left wing activists serving gold card chalk stripes in First. The few current BA old contract crew that I know are about as close to revolutionaries as Maggie was to Mother Teresa. They know they earn a very good wage and they want to keep it and do not want it distributed into somebody elses' pocket. Neither would I.
