I agree with Ian Estwick!
Boyce in straight jacket going Madd yesterday!
I could not believe the day I would write a post with the words you see above. Yesterday I was in a state of shock, and considered calling the “mental” to verify if I was me or somebody had taken over my body. What could have caused this revolting reaction? I Peter Boyce read a statement in the newspaper that was emitted from the mouth of CEO of NCF, Mr. Ian Estwick AND I AGREED WITH IT!
I could not believe my eyes then… Estwick was quoted in the press as responding to the recent Economic Assessment of Crop over 2005 – 2007 done by the SALISES (Sir Arthur Lewis Institute of Social and Economic Studies). The CEO stated that when a festival generated an economic impact of $77 million in one year, it was unfair to expect the NCF to turn over a profit when the entire country benefited. I would like to wholeheartedly endorse Estwick’s statement. That is always a position which cultural industries articulated to the previous government which they seemed unable to comprehend.
Maybe there is some hope for Estwick after all. Do not think that I am one of those people who do not recognize when a valid statement is made, even by Ian Estwick. If the CEO would make a statement stating he would be resigning as the head of the NCF and going home, I would wholeheartedly endorse that as well. Hint Hint.
If during the reading of this blog there is any thing I might have written which might have incensed or offended you, GET OVER IT! There are many things I read and hear in the media on a daily basis that I don't like either. SO DEAL WITH IT! You are welcome to leave your comments though. Make sure and come back yuh hear !!!...

Ian should have resigned a long time ago. He and his team have killed CropOver. No creative or new ideas. Still needs to be marketed properly overseas. Hope that the friends/family thing wil end for overseas supporters of CropOver…know what I mean?…open up the playing field.
