Thats a typical ministerial response written by some anonymous civil servant for the minister!
The one thing that would draw some attention to this is publicity via the media, perhaps by coverage of some harbour blockades aka French fisherman style!
Even the UK lorry driver protests drew a lot of publicity and slowed the price increases.
Unfortunately "doing the right thing" such as writing to ministers is our traditional way of resisting these kind of changes and the government produces its standard meaningless statement and then does what the hell it wants!!!
And before you ask I do not have any political aspirations and I am not a left wing millitant, just a very frustrated boatowner who is a realist!
