Boy am I going to get into trouble for this one...
Suppose, just suppose now, that the BA (JP included) want what we want but are trying to work with their hands tied behind their back. They too are worried about the clout the RSPB has and know only too well that if they (RSPB) had their way the broads would turn a very different way.
How could, nay SHOULD, the BA proceed with this particular problem. If I were them I'd be saying publicly that there was no problem, whilst at the same time have talks on the QRT with the other parties to sort it.
On one hand JP has the law stating what the broads are and what they should remain, but on the other he has a pressure group, one of the biggest in this country, saying Sod the public get rid of 'em and give the place over to us. We'll manage it for you.
Businesses could go bust, RSPB wouldn't be bothered
Boating would end, RSPB would cheer.
Angling would be restricted. RSPB would applaud.
OK, so that's a worst case scenario, but if it were complete garbage,. would JP be doing what he is doing ?
