I'm absolutely certain you're correct re the context you're suggesting. Given Crawley (someone I've seen a couple of times in public meetings) it's the sort of vapid, shallow thing you'd expect. The "couple of times" I refer to I was with two campaigners re the topic were all here for and we...

Her own hurt immunity.

It's an excuse to instigate a policy of shutting people up who disagree with her. I find it unprofessional, unbecoming, manipulative, unethical and deeply unhealthy.

Are there some grounds for a complaint to OFCOM?

Greenhalgh has blocked the @RFH1955 Twitter account which I run.

Very much.

That's a fine Twitter account. Always thought so.

Correct.

Might be worth mentioning this point to GM on Twitter since it's a public gallery. Almost like a pre-emptive strike. Almost.

Thank you. The timing has everything to do with it and maybe we'll talk about that more later but, very bluntly, as soon as I saw the phrase 'long covid' I had to do something with what we had.

According to Sheila Neal there wasn't overwhelming support for a physiological explanation at the time. My guess is that as time went on (and especially as we went into the sixties) a psychological explanation became more fashionable.

If I can chip in here for a second I'm slightly surprised that there was so little interest (over the years) in the RFH story. Me and my colleague were aware of at least one other party researching the incident but very little archival material (more or less nothing) had been made easily...

Just a general point Chris, I'm glad that you seem to be interested in seeking out stuff like this.

I think there's a lot of PWMEs that don't like confrontation - and that's one of the reasons as to why I'm extremely suspicious about SW's claims of threats against himself.

The reaction to the "Where There's Life" programme from Yorkshire TV in 1988....

Mentioned earlier the year 1988. This happens in the same year....

If I can expand a little on my recent reply I'd add that - and I'm rather using another date for convenience here - the press/media is broadly sympathetic up until roughly 1988, publishing a number of articles featuring Clare Francis amongst others around that time. However, at around the same...

Re The Guardian - the 'rot' sets in circa 1995. Me and my colleague spent years researching newspaper articles and there is a definite shift in the paper's reporting of 'M.E.' from the mid-nineties. This coincides with both the rise of SW and a change in editor at the paper. The first mention of...

Brian Hughes's Twitter account seems to have disappeared.

I don't have a problem with you talking about the outbreak.
