Would you believe it??

Amicus speaking up for a change.
I left them because I felt that their voice of moderation was lost in Bassas & Unites cries for a bloody war. And now this.

Time for the truth!

On a different forum a non striking crew member was having a rant about BASSA hard liners making our lives onboard unpleasant.

My dad had a...
