Aye, good points VBB. As you will know I'm sure, my "come off it" wasn't aimed at you but at EH. Engaging the locals is right and overdue, I just feel it shouldn't be used to divert from the fact that there are an awful lot of other stakeholders that have fundamental natural rights to be kept informed - and the duty to do so ought to have been recognised without any need for prompting either from the stakeholders themselves or from international conventions.
After all, we're all taxpayers. That should have been a bit of a clue.
