Agree wholeheartedly. Might be a good idea if we all wrote to our MPs on the gamete of issues we currently juggle.For me, pay and conditions is but one brick in the badly built wall. I still maintain that placing archaeology in a competative tendering environment is plainly counter-productive, drives standards down and,reflects a government attempt to wash it`s hands of all responsibility to the nations heritage. Selling our national identity to the lowest bidder really does induce bile.To stick to the thread, pay and conditions are indeed one of the items on the APPAG list and if we are to make any progress at all, I would argue that we need to lobby in a more high profile way. At least one high profile campaigner with the ability to plant our agendas firmly in the public eye would be a good start. Get writing to your MPs troops!
Just a thought, is`nt Tony Robinson involved in politics? High profile, family freindly and alledgedly, the most famous British archaeologist?
