Hopefully now NFU and CT have exposed themselves they now know how exposed they are, there is absolutely no way of covering this up on any side, there is undeniably no defence if they attempt to cover it up further, that is good for the farmer.

Where do they think they are going to get there food from? Surely they aren't thinking about importing everything from countries that don't have the same standards we have to stick to, they could hardly defend selling that if they wont sell home produced non assured.

No.
As individuals, we have little or no influence. We rely on our 'union' and our levy bodies to act in OUR interests.
I, and I believe thousands of others, have resigned their membership of the NFU in protest of their refusal to address the very problems you have well articulated.
So I don't think I, and many others just let this happen.
You of course, may have.
why not ? they do at the moment

This is true alas. Staunch NFU defenders have trusted those representatives to hold others above the chain to account.
And they've been naive
This is the real worry. I suspect that those at the top think that they’ve just fumbled the ball slightly rather than provoked outrage amongst the people they’re supposed to represent.

Yes but it appears Minette and cronies seem to be so arrogant that they think it will blow over and it will be back to the gravy train they were all on before this
These people never are brought to account. It’s part of why they keep on making these predictions. No consequences.
For them.
Plenty for everyone else.
The whole deck of badly stacked cards has come crashing down around them but despite this they all seem too ingrained in the lie to see what’s happened. An acknowledgement (and apology) they got it wrong may just save a few careers but it soon be too late for that as well.
I have my annual insurance review booked on Monday.
Been with NFU mutual for last few years and they still come out very competitive on price and I can’t fault them on any claims I’ve made.
But the mutual rep has tried to get me to join the NFU every year, it’s not just about the discount on offer, it’s we can do X Y Z for you.
Ive had the whole debate around red tractor repeatedly with him and he just can’t see the issue.
im actually really looking forward to Monday.
Can’t wait to pile in again and now have a lot more ammo.
Plus I used to think the mutual are independent of the union….
