[QUOTE="Guy Smith, post: 7386146, member: 4630"] I do have enough brains to realise that if you come onto a chat room and mention that chat rooms are chat rooms and they don’t achieve much, then you are not going to make yourself flavour of the month with people in the chat room let alone the owner of the chat room. So to make myself even more unpopular I’d make a few points 1. One complaint I often hear on here is that RT bods or NFU bods don’t come on here. The fact is no ‘bods’ from any organisations come on here to post in their capacity of the office they hold. As one of the bods who used to be a NFU bod and I’m now a RT bod, I can understand why. 2. TFFers and the owner of TFF have been banging on as to how terrible Red Tractor or the NFU is for a number of years now. And yet at the same time admit they think things gets worse. 3. I’m a believer that you can get more done in the tent than outside the tent. I’ve only been in this tent 30 days. No doubt this post will cause even more bile to be poured down on me but I’ve got quite thick skin and don’t cry myself to sleep at night because someone said something nasty about me on TFF. But I like to think my record shows I do listen to farmers. I actually think some of the points on here are well made and well researched. I’ve been looking at some of the stuff on import standards for sometime now and I continue to do so because it’s quite complex. As for the accusation I’ve been bought off or I’m in the pocket of my pay masters. I’m transparent about earning £10,000 a year in my post as RT Chair of Cereals, Oilseeds and Sugar Beet. I’m putting a fair few hours in and don’t think the hourly rate too extortionate. I can think of a lot easier ways to become rich and popular! Finally I would urge anyone to respond to the current consultation. For what it’s worth my advice is to keep your arguments reasoned and factually correct, don’t get personal and keep your language moderate - that way they are more likely to be listened to.
