Posting smear accusations online from your husband's business

hardly reflects well on it.

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.

If he visits Nurseries, why would he not have said so on the many
occasions he's been criticised for those comments?

Possibly because he thinks the crticism spurious; and rightly
imagines any keen gardener with a brain would realise if he doesn't go
to GCs so he buys his plants elsewhere; nurseries and growers, at plant
fairs and online.

But the point is, you INVENTED a statement about nurseries he did not
make. You then INVENTED that he called GC's "greedy". (The link I gave
proves otherwise) Remember, you're the one pretending to be discussing
true facts, and what he said in public. UNfortunately for you, what he
said in public is on public record and does not match your fantasy
versions. Had you read the link, you'll see that he is in fact
SUPPORTING the amateur gardener,shopping in GC's, to make ethical
choices when spending their money. That's not taking business away from
them. Quite how you twist that to him "telling people not to go there"
god knows.

You then INVENTED, twice, that I am trying to suppress this thread and
stop the debate.

You're the fantasist with a dirty little agenda of your own.
