Cut on the Bias

«A bit of Googling found THIS on the web (in connection with an industrial dispute in Bradford)
Dear brothers/sisters
Just a short personal message of solidarity - I will raise your dispute in our Chapel when we meet next. I am constantly struck by the small minded penny pinching of media owners who spare no expense for their own largesse.
Your fight is part of a resurgence of grassroots trade unionism that is telling the managers "we're back" in every sector of the economy.

Venceremos!

Business Correspondent, BBC Newsnight (personal capacity)
First of all, what's this "we" shit coming from a business correpondant?!? Does he pretend to speak for the BBC? IF he’s speaking for himself, does he thing burying the words “personal capacity” at the end inoculate him from criticism?
Definitions of Venceremos on the Web:

I note that The Time has exposed more BBC duplicity...
A BBC executive who is paid almost £200,000 a year to award bonuses to senior managers tried to manipulate salary information to hide the number of staff earning more than £100,000.
Robert Johnston, who is “reward director”, asked staff responsible for releasing the data to the public to “deliberately disguise” the number of managers on six-figure salaries, according to e-mails seen by The Times.
Have they no shame? And yet, day in day out, they talk about the "fat cat" bankers????
