well, no response as yet to my email to AHDB or British Meat Packers Association, I will chase it.

However, it is now a live campaign on t'internet:

www.meatthefacts.eu

Is there anyone on here, from any of the UK livestock industries representative bodies, who can tell us the ways in which they are giving this their backing ?
well that clarifies why i hate paying adhb 'tax' when i sell lambs,

in all seriousness its disgraceful really and clarifies my opinion their full of dead wood and not fit for purpose

well done on your effort though :)

update:
Have now forwarded my email asking if we will see this campaign promoted in the UK to three different people within AHDB, will keep pushing until get a response.

For anyone who grew up with '80's Saturday teatime TV, it's feeling a bit like the opening credits:
"If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the AHDB team"

good work please post your response from them

Had a response from AHDB:

We are involved, attended the launch in Brussels in September and are a source of the information for the project (AHDB credited on website) Supporting with expertise and facts rather than money, but we are linked closely to it via Brussels office.

As I may have said elsewhere: Involved, but not committed.

Which begs the obvious questions: Have the UK's farming representative bodies given their backing to this European Livestock Voice ? Will the UK be getting these billboards and social media campaign #meatthefacts promoting the livestock industry ?
or has any one , asked WHY the weather is so f**ked . if we decide it is mother nature who is to blame , we are all dead . think about it , the weather is controlled by man man has been for 30 years .
bush fire's and flooding are money for nothing to the insurance company's
