Which undercuts the reliability of all contracts with BW. And we have BW withdrawing from a policy (reducing the number of linear moorings it provides) which many on the waterways want to see applied. And we have BW caving in as soon as someone says "Boo!", showing a weakness that will surely be exploited by other such groups. That sounds like a disaster for the waterways to me.
