Yes I do give a stuff. I am 1 of the around 3500 who did not vote. I deliberately voted for "none of the above". Give me someone I can thrust and I might change my mind. 3 years ago I paid my 5 years membership, mainly to receive the magazine and have my 'finger on the pulse' in that area. When my membership expires I'll buy the magazine at a newsstand. I just hope that the lunatics don't spend my money on any more legal cases to feed the silvertails.
Perhaps we also should have 'a day of action'. Go flying that day and TURN THE TRANSPONDER ON AND USE THE RADIO as the AIP requires. In around 10 000 IFR and VFR flights I have been told around a half a dozen times "clearance not available, remain OCTA" meaning "wait a bit while we sort it out". Perhaps it's more how you plan your flight and how you ask for the clearance. If you're openly a rebel, don't plan or don't plan correctly and then demand entry, even your mother would object.
