I understand that you may not like/approve of Countryside Alliance methods. You
may not approve of all the ideas that the 'waterways movement' cook up, but to
be prepared to see the grant disappear seems to be cutting off your nose to
spite your face.
The CA are fighting for the countryside not saying we will fight for this bit
but not that bit. You noticed the children wearing stickers, would you have
read stickers on adults?
I hope we now don't start a fox hunting thread.
