Why is this flagged? It's an editorial, and it certainly has a slant, but it seems to be neither lying nor dissembling.

I, for one, had no knowledge of the strikes going on in the UK, and I'm rather more plugged into politics than most.

Granted this is arguable in this case, but that's why I'd guess it was flagged.
