The NFU should have issued press releases/bulletins to firstly advise farmers of the situation & what to do about it, secondly to give the general public the reasons why farmers require the general license so that they can lobby their own MPs.
Is pest control really a subject for general consumption by those most uninformed and least affected?
NE should not have taken the alleged General License challenge by unnamed 'environmentalists' to the wire of the High Court hearing, before pulling the licenses of those involved.
This situation didn't happen overnight: the High court dates must have been booked months ago, but the decision at pull the GL was a last minute knee jerk reaction to gross incompetance by NE.
Heads should roll.
