R eading Mike Goodridge's latest think piece........Mike, what you say makes a lot of sense.

But while the UK Film Council continues its lobbying and PR spinning in order to save itself -- and whilst your sensible comment with regard to a sane future for British film are in order -- I worry that the Con/Lib alliance will just wash its hands of the UK film industry entirely.

To have a Quango use public funds to hire the lobbying firm that advises Macdonalds and the Russian Government to "answer the tsunami of onone calls" that is coming in to the UKFC is just nonsense and a travesty and a tragedy.

Why would anyone start a tsunami-like avalanche of phone calls to the UKFC when they stopped listening years ago.

Their job is now to oversee an orderly transition - but no...what are they doing - they are scorching the earth in an 'apres moi - le deluge' policy.

Your sentiments are respected - but in the current context invalid - because there is no possible forum for negociation with the new government whilst John Woodward and his team continue to oeprate against the best interests of the industry.

So what else is new!!!!

But good on you!!!
