[QUOTE="Hindsight, post: 7932937, member: 3169"] I find those committees interesting and very frustrating at the same time. The MPs generally I think are poor. But that is me being critical. Sos. I thought the Water UK chap was polished young corporate professional. His angle was - look we have 3 million tonnes of 'product' I shouted at the computer screen 'lets get get real it is your constituents shyte' but sadly he never said that, to get rid of (dispose of in an environmentally sensible way - would be corporate speak. And if we cannot spread it to land it will involve Billion spent on Incinerators (and how will that look on the water rates bill!!!) So he had a good political story. George rabbited on that farmers are angelic and should be left alone. The Chair Neil Parish was like having a umpire supplied by the Home side who gives LBWs for his side when they cannot get a wicket and not for yours (had those). Neither tackled the issue of high N availability and Phosphates in some manures. And the geographic specialization in livestock production that has occurred in the last fifty years which is the root cause of any issues on a catchment basis. Which is why the EA did provide some balance, in my view. The Rothamsted guy I had not heard before but concurr an interesting speaker. Two hours I will not get back but I now know what was truly said at the meeting. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
