I know going to work during a strike is a difficult decision for those involved.However what will the tension be like after the strike when those that crossed the picket line have to face the strikers.I can't imagine that they will be very popular.

Yes but not everyone is a member of the NUJ & the like so some would have had to work today weather they support the strike or not.

From memory he was waiting for his cue, News 24 joined Stephen early so there'd be no clash when BBC One joined. So news 24 viewers got about 20 seconds of Stephen staring at the camera.
