Hi everyone! Thank you for all your helpful thoughts on how best we can show the bigotry associated with Cllr. Melton's keynote speech. We have a profession to be proud of, our contribution to the protection of the heritage of this country is oft taken for granted and yes we may be under valued and under paid but there is huge public support for the protection of our fragile and diminishing heritage and ecology, much within Cllr. Melton's middle-England/Scotland/Wales voting public. I do not want to reduce our response to the insulting and derogatory level of Cllr. Melton who uses terms such as 'Bunny huggers'. We can fight back with rhetoric which dispels his arguments and puts the fear of God (who ever that might be) into his middle-England with the very real possibility that without protection measures, both historical and ecological, the wind farm and incinerator in the backyard is a very real threat. Any useful, not libelous information would be appreciate by Sunday at the latest. There other irons in the fire which I can not disclose at the moment - all legal!
