What the BCMS, and the authority behind it , do not seem to understand is
that in order for it to produce a database which is not totally
meaningless,
they need our co-operation. Treating farmers like naughty school children
and punishing them for disobeying the 'letter of the law ' is quite
obviously not going to achieve this. They can never prevent falsification
of documents, changing of eartags, etc, but I cannot see any reason why
anyone should bother to do this, other than as a direct result of the
unreasonableness of BCMS. Until recently, there was a six month period
of
grace for passport applications. What was so wrong with this? I am sure
that the quality of the data they received at this time was better than
that
which they are now receiving. How many people would have Mark's, moral
courage and integrity over this? By far the easiest option would be a
less
honest solution!
