A word @[email protected]. If you don’t want accusations of lack of impartiality, don’t say union members “stage a walk-out.” It’s illegal to walk out. Strike action is the result of a legal process. It doesn’t allow downing tools & walking out. @[email protected] I welcome your feedback.

@MarkyB_62 It's funny how many loaded words are regularly used across the media, often going the other way too (i.e. euphemising bad stuff).

Think:

* "execution" when used in the context of terrorist groups (don't see it so much now, but was common during the Troubles), which in fact means "murder"

* "the squeeze on public services" which in fact means "cuts in public services"
