We have a responsibility to be able to put our point and values across credibly
Disagree. Any man or woman passionate about their livelihood has a responsibility to defend and promote themselves without relying on organisations to do their bidding. That attitude is where unions came from, and not a lot of use came from those.No we don't. It is why we pay subs and levies.

You may do, I prefer to be as responsible for shaping my business as possible.Should we do all of our own mechanicing too ? And plant breeding ? And every other facet of what makes our businesses work ? No. We employ experts.
Think you need to have a think about where, and why, unions came about.
I cannot help but cringe at the answer to the the question ‘why should we buy locally produced eggs?’
‘Well….. because they’re produced locally….’
a general public who think we are destroying the plant, how can you possibly disagree that we should be able to stand up for ourselves with reasonable level of intelligence?
This is what disheartens me most.Perfect answer. Throw it back at the audience. Let them think about it.
I would have that egg farmer working in the PR departments of the NFU and the AHDB above the muppets who are there now, who think that it is somehow helpful to apologize for our existence and promise that we will try harder to be good.

‘I shouldn’t have to justify myself - I don't have to answer, turn the questions back to the audience - I should be able to carry on doing what I’ve always done without justification - let someone else answer for me - I’ve always done it this way’
Yet by your own admission, you accept that these unions and organisations are not promoting your business as you would like them to.
Get over yourself we can all do better.Perfect answer. Throw it back at the audience. Let them think about it.

I am unsure where you see the contradiction. Listen to any intelligent politician. What do they do when faced with a question they find inconvenient ? They throw the question back. Turn it into the question they want it to be. Which requires quick wittedness. Which is why we should employ people who are top of the game in that regard.
Get over yourself we can all do better.
why should we buy local ?Any politician who employs that tactic has no credible answer to the question, is trying to divert attention away from the subject and is avoiding the reality of the situation.
No politician doing that has ever won my respect.
It does not require quick wittedness. It is a learned response, a ‘rabbit in the headlights, run away from the question’ response.
The only reason I’ve persisted in this conversation is to say that the question, ‘why should we buy local?’ should not be an inconvenient or difficult question to answer.
