He's President of the Soil Association which
explains his views on some matters but at the same time, using his
position to damage the trade of others

Posting smear accusations online from your husband's business address
hardly reflects well on it.

Janet

I'm perfectly certain you, of all people, know the difference between
fact and malice. These are not 'smear accusations' and neither Ray nor
I is a public figure, nor a tv presenter, promoting personal
convictions. These are things that actually happened and that were said
in public forums.

No, they are not; you have twisted what he said and put words in his
mouth. According to you

"As far as I know, nobody
is saying that there should be *televised* visits to garden centres
or nurseries but that he, personally, in his private life doesn't go to
them.

That is incorrect, He said he doesn't go to GC's. He did not say, he
doesn't go to or buy from nurseries.

"Don't forget that he
also told people not to go to garden centres or nurseries that use peat

( That's not what he said)


"because he hates the use of peat and described using it/selling
peat-based compost as 'greed'."

That is also incorrect and misrepresents what he said; which is
quoted here

twitter-comments-irk-garden-centres-again/

and here

He urges home gardeners to PURCHASE non-peat brands of compost
(from garden centres etc) and if they see none available, to make a fuss
to persuade the business to stock it.

These are things that actually happened and that were said
in public forums. We are, therefore, able to discuss them and their
repercussions, in a public forum. They're not manufactured gossip.

You are making up stuff he didn't say, which is NOT the same as
discussing what he did say.

But you certainly seem hellbent on suppressing this thread.

!!! More hysterical prevarication.

Janet.
