Even ignoring all the problems with PACE, and assuming that it was a well conducted trial and those were robust and meaningful results, one still...
A few twitter interactions with Wessely from him, although it looks like tweets have disappeared so the discussion is broken up: [MEDIA]
I've seen so many people complain about this group over the years, and how Barton runs it. Everything I've seen from him makes him look like a...

Thanks to everyone who donated. A bit of a shame this came when we were distracted by other things.

I just skimmed though this and pulled out a few bits that might be of interest to others. I've avoided pulling out bits mentioned by others, or...
It's not any sort of objective measure of activity levels that were used. I couldn't be bothered to read this. It would probably be good to have...
