If archaeologists can't agree that proposals such as those put forward by Councillor Melton are a bad thing and present a united front in response, what would it actually take for us to stop sniping at each other and turn our collective fire on those who genuinely deserve it?
Well said. The CBA, IFA, Rescue and other orgs have managed to present a united front. As a collective whole, where was BAJR (i.e. BAJRites)? There are individuals who have taken up the challenge, GPstone and several others, who are organising a response through e-mail campaigns, facebook, a website, the media and press. I really struggle to relate and understand the lack of purpose, not all, but enough, BAJRites show. It's a shame really.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
