    Trial By Error: Bristol Investigating Crawley Papers

    As long as no-one finds themself unable to resist mining that word and all its connotations for humourous effect you should be ok. I remain sitting at the barricades as instructed.

    Trial By Error: Bristol Investigating Crawley Papers

    Promiscuous. What a great choice of words, made me laugh out loud.

    Trial By Error: Some Thoughts About an Upcoming Article

    It's setting up an argument from authority - Doctors have told me this, David Tuller isn't one so how can he possibly have the presumption to say they're wrong? If DT was treating patients, it would be right to point out that he's not a doctor. But he's writing, and he's qualified to do so...

    Trial By Error: Some Thoughts About an Upcoming Article

    What a wonderful answer from Professor Racaniello to a muck-raking hack looking for dirt. He might as well have continued " ... and you, Sir? What is it you call what you do?" If the conversation has to move on to the role of the SMC and the media anyway, how kind of them to provide a perfect...

    David Tuller: Trial By Error: Steve Brine's Troubling Claim in Parliamentary Debate on ME

    Hopefully he didn't mean it addresses the misconceptions of the 27 other MPs who spoke. Surely he didn't mean that. He couldn't. I suspect the UK government got exactly what they ordered. They may now be examining ways to plausibly deny it and look shocked and horrified. That will probably have...

    Open letter to the Trustees and Staff of Action for ME about the 'Toolkit for professionals'

    Please bear in mind that we are all real people, and are really ill, and have been trying to engage directly with AfME for a very long time and getting nowhere.

    Open letter to the Trustees and Staff of Action for ME about the 'Toolkit for professionals'

    How on earth does publishing a booklet and giving it to the DWP count as "internal use"? If it's for internal use only, then keep it to yourself. If you're going to disseminate information based on the reports, be ready to provide the evidence. You can't have it both ways.

    NHS to offer paid-for DNA tests if patients share data

    I might start doing that. Thanks.

    Was that more or less than the woman who started going on about her football team afterwards? Or the knife crime debate in Westminster Hall?

    UK Parliamentary debate today - Thursday 24th January 2019

    I wonder if it would be useful to ask the 27 members who spoke whether they are surprised that the BBC and national media have failed to report the debate? They must be familiar with the level of reporting that comparable debates get, and it might help the penny drop for when the debate moves on...

    UK Parliamentary debate today - Thursday 24th January 2019

    I'm mild and I'm living half a life. I'd love to know who the people are who don't have to adapt their lifestyles. I think I do know.

    UK Parliamentary debate today - Thursday 24th January 2019

    I hope so. The other possibility is that PACE has served as the stepping stone they wanted, they have now forged alliances for bigger and better schemes, and no longer need to defend PACE tooth and nail, and in fact are now too busy with their greater plans to bother.

    UK Parliamentary debate today - Thursday 24th January 2019

    We hoodwinked 27 MPs into speaking up for us - how powerful are we! What shall we do next with our superpowers?

    Yes. But not because of the ME. Because of the fucking circus that goes with it.

    Petition: Review treatment of people with ME in Scotland

    Is it just me or is AfME doing more harm than good, just as they always have done? It's getting very frustrating that again and again, just when we get the ears of the right people, AfME get in there and give them the wrong information, harmful to PwME, and pick up large amounts of money for...
