No element of "revenge" for the BASSA hardliners in the proposed settlement that they evidently so long-for.

Rumblings at Bedfont maybe a sign that a postal ballot will result (yet again) in a rejection. Here's hoping the apathetic abstainers will have the wherewithal to actually vote this time and a resounding yes is returned.

A BASSA supporter on Sky opined that no settlement would have been possible with WW. In a way I think he's right - the union have so personalised this dispute and demonised WW to the extent that I doubt anything WW proposed (other perhaps than his own resignation) would ever have been accepted by the "faithful"
