Morning, Finky.
That would make a change from the other reasons for which I have been banned.
Anyway, I'm a good boy now. And BA is flying, so I have no need to be irascible. Apart from teenagers on noisy mini-motorbikes and a few other issues.
think that you should be banned for creeping to the Mods!

The "Other Thread" suggests that DH had a hard time at the Police Station.
Should we now be sending flowers?

Any colour but yellow, white lilies perhaps?
Interesting to read his perception of his most recent employer:-
How do you suppose he came to that conclusion?

The injustice that is out there at present is incredible and we must keep going, fighting the fight against what I beleive to be an utterly corrupt ruthless company with no morals.
I'm looking forward to being flown to Nairobi on Sunday (1st class thanks to BA's oneway upgrade offer ) by "an utterly corrupt ruthless company with no morals" 
ISTR that Mrs Holley is a BA CC. I do hope she's not on my flight if she shares her husband's stated view of her employers

Take a white lily just in case. If she's there, and actually working, she might appreciate the gesture. Other gestures might be deemed harassment.
Awww ... bless. I feel a rant coming on. I'd better go and have a bath.

I feel a faint inclination to support "The Bedfont One" with a cash donation.
I have some odd foreign coins in a drawer somewhere.
Oh ... bit tricky to carry that through Security. Sorry Duncan.

Would someone with legal knowledge tell us what charge or charges DH could face, and what are the possible penalties. Could punitive damages be included?

1. Oh, please read Post 2642 on the other Thread. It nearly cost me another keyboard!
2. @ NR ... ISTR could be up to 2 years, but it depends on what, if anything, DH is charged with ... He being a completely innocent person until the Court [not BA] decides otherwise.

Bloody Hell, Baggers ... you have a complex mind!!
I could guess that 'stern words would be spoken' but I do agree that the upcoming "Winter of Discontent Mark II" doesn't need Holley as the Fairy on the Christmas Tree.

Or, as one of my sainted bosses used to scream when something blew up publicly:
Some people are just 'natural shouters'. How are things at Farnborough these days?

Baggersup, it's not down to the government to decide. They will have no say whatsoever - and not just because they aren't supposed to, but because legal people have a nasty habit of screaming to the press at the first sign of political interference. It's happened before when the government were daft enough to venture an opinion. The CPS will decide themselves.

Holley seems to have lost his marbles from reading his latest rant, which includes............
So not only does he want to screw BA, he wants to take Unite with him. (I'm almost tempted to support him, just to see the end of Woodley et al. Well, maybe not!)
BA has mounted a full frontal assault on Unite by what it is doing to the members and the reps and, to my mind, UNITE have been pretty toothless in response. They now have to wake up and smell the coffee. It is all very well sending umpteen reminders for us to vote for Milliwhatsit but, what is the point if back at the coal face (ie the front line)

May I ask a quick question? Now that Duncan Holley has been interviewed by the Police, can the CPS, when deciding whether they should take action, take into account any further communications from him in regards to the dispute? His writing remains aggressive and comments such as...
...are surely bordering on the limit. (I wanted to say defamation but I can't remember if thats the correct word and my mind has gone blank!) Would his solicitor not have advised him that for the moment he needs to be extremely careful? Or is it the case that once the interview has been completed, only things that were said during that time can be used to make the decision?
Apologies for asking but I am not familiar with the law in these circumstances and I thought I would be more likely to find someone on this thread that may have some knowledge of how these things work.
Was going to finish off with a "they'll never take me alive" sort of sentiment but in this day and age don't want to tempt fate. At least not with the thugs BA employ nowadays.

lbs is a unit of weight
Do you expect us to take your post seriously?

It appears the poll to determine if members were willing to have their dues increased by 5 lbs did not go so well.
