Some of us ARE having a go. We made submissions to the EFRA committee on ELMS, gave evidence in person and met with the senior FG journalist at Groundswell on Thursday to try to push some of these points home.One of the things I did notice.... was that when looking around for who to ask to speak for us, the public and government have a tendency to go to those who are the most visible, the loudest, the flag wavers and those with good social media profiles. The problem is, there is a tendency to end up being represented by those seeking self promotion, or who’s situation abs ideas have little relevance to the rest of us. We are often told they are doing amazing things, they are leading the charge. They are often decidedly 2d and you can see through them if you know the score. Those who are doing amazing things are usually too busy head down, ass up, grafting away to enact change with little thought to self promotion.
When the national organisations set up to represent us fail to, or at least fall a portion of us, then it's up to us to get off our arses and have a go.
