Asking for peoples opinions is not the same as listening to them. There are many people (of all ages) on this forum who are very sensitive at the moment. Their jobs and way of life are under threat. The Southport Group's manifesto has much to recomend it and personally I think that much of what it is offering is the way forward but it must address the issues that are being raise here or loose the support of a major part of the sector. Some may except that the profession is in melt down and hope that the brave new world of Southport will arise from the ashes. I would rather try and stop the melt down because I do not see any coming back from it. (That is of cause my personal opinion and I hope I will be proved wrong)
I am sure many others would like to comment but there does seem to be a bit of flak flying around at the moment
