Blood sucking ahdb

[White rabbit]

what do you expect Ali Capper to do @White rabbit ?
She is a Director of the British Hop Association so I would expect her in that role to campaign for pubs and beer sales.
Her work with NFU Mutual is a separate issue and of no consequence to AHDB.
I would expect that she pays AHDB levy on the apples and pears that she produces on their farm.
Ali is a very busy lady

Pity an goof she is not busy for us then ,mind you she probably hasn’t time, in that case why do I pay the Nfu.

 

[White rabbit]

Couldn’t lie to further my cause and slander others? Correct - couldn't and wouldn't.

which bit is a lie,and don’t say all of it.

Plenty of what you've written is. You've claimed that the staff are at home and not working, for one.

What are they doing working on what

 

[Highland Mule]

No idea, but you've been told by others that they're still working. That's the most recent one though - what about all the allegations of staff omitting expense fraud you made earlier? You just keep throwing mud with no idea if it's true, and as I wrote, I couldn't do that as I have integrity.

 

[White rabbit]

An gof I can’t stop thinking about poor Ali rushed off her feet ,and to think at the beginning of the year she was forced into going to New Zealand for two and half weeks with her friends from the ahdb it’s just not good enough treating her this way.Maybe sometime in the future we might find out what facts she found,in the meantime we will be calling for her and minette to resign as their position as become untenable.

maybe You have but you still good at having a pop at me aren’t you.

Is anything I’ve written untrue?

 

[White rabbit]

you are pretty good at character assassination and you don’t even know me.

 

[Highland Mule]

you are pretty good at character assassination and you don’t even know me.

And again, you don’t answer the question.

 

[White rabbit]

I think when everything comes out you will find what I have been saying about the ahdb is true ,one person who has been economic with the truth along with several others in there is Jane king, she said the ahdb as gone from strength to strength in the last 6 years, contrast that to the meeting last week with the Tfa and the Bga they met with Nicolas saphir the meeting ended with mr saphir saying what has gone on over the last few years was in his words not good enough.This confession is a kick in teeth for all of us who have paid hundreds of thousands into this organisation, and to add insult to injury the Nfu have sat on the fence and not offered to help in any shape or form.

I should pick battles you can win. I can assure you that you have ZERO chance of getting Minette Batters to resign. She will not do it, NFU Council will not want her to do it and the vast majority of NFU members will not want her to resign. Pick battles that you can win, NOT the impossible.

Maybe you are right an gof but the way both of them have treated the horticultural sector is a disgrace, we have had a zoom meeting with Ali and to be quite honest if it wasn’t so serious it would have been a joke, considering she is supposed to be head of horticulture she didn’t have a clue, she promised to get back to us on the points we raised in a few days we are still waiting 4 months later,our local group secretary has made contact with her many times asking her to get back to us ,she keeps promising him but never does, not only do I pay full subscription I help her other source of income paying £2000 a week into the mutual.why don’t both of them do the honourable thing and resign.

Looks like the sheep men are beginning to see the light ,we have been contacted this morning by somebody from the sheep association saying the are far from happy with the ahdb and would like to organise a ballot themselves.

Nobody knows what the whole of a sector thinks without an election. I think you’re confusing anecdote with evidence.
