In my time with the BA I attended several meetings where RSPB representatives attended. As a fellow attendee commented after one such meeting, dangerous people. During a discussion in the car-park, after the meeting, several people made similar comments namely that it has long been considered that the CEO was answerable to others besides the BA. I'm not entirely convinced as to whom that might be but several folk, all closely involved with the BA clearly have their suspicions, and the obvious candidate appears to be the RSPB. Either way, and pointing no fingers because in my view there are no definite culprits, I have to agree that there is a likelihood that the driving force behind BA policy is not alone in his aspirations. I am assured that the RSPB employs lobbyists in Parliament so who knows? For my money, if I had to hazard a guess, then there are some at the UEA, as well as the RSPB, who tick more than a few boxes. Reds under the bed? Maybe, but there is clearly room for concern.
