Hesitation comes to mind when responding to what has been set out in an "Open Letter on Cuts and working together" and BAJR's "MY initial reply". My hesitation to respond is soley down to revisiting and redigesting this immense issue. Many here in the forum (and elsewhere) are cognisant of the complex and polarising issues (see various posts on cuts etc). My initial reaction and I say reaction as I digest and mull the situation and circumstances regarding action, is how daunting a task it is to get people to sign up to and embrace the same vision. For now, all I can offer is support. I have no qualms putting myself forward to assist in however I can. I'll go out on a limb here and suggest that there are many individuals grappling with this topic.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
