I am surprised at the BBC for going public with this story so quickly, particularly as it appears that an appeal has been lodged. If an appeal has been lodged then there is disagreement over the facts of the case, and if that is so the BBC should not be publishing opinion in case it prejudices the outcome of the appeal, which should consider all the facts neutrally. Would I be cynical in suggesting that this sort of publishing has the taciturn approval of the government, in that it (in their opinion) strengthens their case to remove the rights of workers, in this case Paramedics, and bully them into situations that would normally be considered completely wrong for a job - such as having no rest breaks at all?
