I think that you are right - we all want what is best for Ashton, and for Ashton's youth, who are our future - we just disagree on the best way to achieve it. We should have been talking to each other about why we disagreed and exchanging not only opinions but information.

When you set up BTT with a pre-emptive attack on CAP, we chose (rightly or wrongly) to fight fire with fire, with results that we are all aware of. Would you have been happier if we had regarded you as silly children and just ignored you? How do you define "respect"?

I am delighted to see some more constructive dialogue, and hope that we will ALL continue to move in the right direction.
