"We volunteer our services free of charge and in the spirit of David Cameron's "Big Society"", is something I quite like to tell people when we are $chunting. I am frequently asked who is paying us to do what we do, and I believe we receive a great deal of respect when people realise that there is no financial motivation whatsoever.
I believe that those in authority are hamstrung by the fact that we stand to gain nothing other than to demand that they serve the public and give us the respect we deserve.
"Never say never" is probably an appropriate phrase here, but in my opinion, now may not be the right time to go down this particular path. But that is my opinion and I am only one voice in an ever growing community.
What do you think?
