Well, everyone seemed to disagree with me that getting into a debate
now about the future organisation of the waterways ran the risk of
diverting energy into a potentially divisive debate.
But while I am not saying that no-one should discuss it, and there
have been some interesting posts here, this thread demonstrates my
point IMHO. Consensus is hardly breaking out all around us.
I still think that we should concentrate on the campaign to stop the
DEFRA cuts, so I won't set out in detail why I think Adrian is mostly
wrong (though I tend to agree about Oxford).
But if you want a clue, I think BW is not just a business - of course
it has business activities that should be run in a business-like way,
but it is also the custodian of something that is a public good that
cannot be simply inserted as values in a business balance sheet.
