[QUOTE="Bongodog, post: 7807945, member: 1343"] The situation where a person can hold a senior position two organisations simultaneously, one where he should be representing the producers, and the other where he is representing the processors and buyers shows why the system is completely corrupt and the phrase "gravy train" is relevant. If he were serving at the lowest possible level of democracy on a parish council whilst holding two conflicting roles he would have to declare a predudicial interest in proceedings and not only take no part in discussions but also have to leave the room. As others have said before once these people get one paid position they are inside the system and before you know they are getting £20k for a day a week here, £15k for a day there, a few £k plus expenses for attending conferences and it all adds up to a great big wedge for spouting hot air.
