For anyone who thinks there is an actual definition of fake news this is a warning of what can happen if the government or establishment get to claim they can define it and dissapear stuff.

"We dont like what you said give us your login details and password". Are they serious, who gives anyone a password they use?

At first I thought this was an article in the national newspaper the Daily Star, but it appears to a local paper be the Sheffield Star. Funny that, just last week the Times of London does an article on how the Lancet should review the flawed PACE trial and the best access the SMC get for their...

There are probably lots of PR people posing as journalists selling their industry out nowadays. That's how the SMC has got uncritical articles into the press over all these years. Its just laughable that this same media machine is telling us its the internet etc whom are the perpetrators of...

Well if going off to pick on the elderly with the same bullshit is a different field then he has opted for a different field. Having said that this sounds like a Wessely, retired from CFS, comment and we have heard those countless times.

On the news yesterday they said she was taking time off to, "get treatment for her illness". Nice and straightforward then. I wonder which snake oil practitioner may have got hold of her!

Plus he is stupid enough to bring the Times piece to peoples attention himself anyway. Looks like a hat-rick of own goals now from the BPS.

I cant think of any reason why it wouldn't.

I may have just given myself an idea accidentally. Why doesn't someone tweet both Godwin and Fry in one tweet with something thought provoking relating to Wessely and the fall out from that exchange with Godwin. Maybe @ it to Peter Tatchell too. I'm pretty sure Fry will be intrigued by a...

Probably true, it would be nice though if this turned out to be another Mike Godwin own goal. That would just be amazing.

I think he will just fall into the comfort zone of "everything we experience is in the brain". Its unlikely he will look deeply at ME, PACE, MUS the DSM, the Wessely school. He like most people will prefer to remain in the pontification zone, and with his posh accent he will be used to people...

I'm sorry but Im afraid Steven Fry is just a Sallower of Wikipedia a "fact collector". I came to this conclusion a few years ago seeing him on QI claiming "for every physical illness there's an exact equivalent that is not physical that has the same symptoms which are just caused by the mind"...

Dont forget that they are trying to move the model on to "self help" online or DVD "courses" instead of more costly "therapies". On top of that they have already shown their hand by promoting private treatments like the LP and pushing for as many "MUS add ons" as possible. There are vultures...

Only last week on the BBC news they were claiming exercise therapy for people with cancer even when having chemo was safe and effective. They are already claiming its a treatment for Parkinsons also. Same old non descriptive claims, no defining of the difference between exertion and planned...

No idea but it does seem amazing how many times Wessely can just be bang smack in the middle of a controversy and just be saying, "nothing to see here". There's this, ME, Camelford, GWI, it goes on and on. No coincidence either that in all those issues there's so much confusion and secrecy...

Ah I get it now, its nothing to do with patients its different interest lobbying "stakeholders", minus patient interests, having a "who runs this manor" shoot out. If only Berlusconi was the PM and not Theresa May this would be so much more see through.

Yes because all that money that has been wasted on biomedical studies for things like ME now needs to go towards the BPS model.

Yes true, except Wessely cos he wears a long gown made from animal skin and walks with a staff and did go up a hill (probably Highgate cos they were all already in Islington reading the Guardian) and did bring back the truths on a tablet. He did then maketh the journey across land from...

Ye its something about psychiatrists, disagreements, spurious definitions, lack of transparency and the status quo wanting the control. Even the "beef" isn't defined. No one can agree on some made up stuff and whats the best subjective route to take or something and what set of bad data is...

Ok this may be repeating things I have already said but I am adding these three paragraphs upon request that were originally in a private message, it is aimed at the issue of systematic complexities not any individual ........ My point was just to highlight how nontransparent such behaviours...
