So long as they're all properly qualified we could have a circle of them all investigating/harassing one another's investigations/harassments.
The fact that they appointed someone like Chris Burton, even after applying an "unusual level scrutiny", shows how broken the system is, and how...
Thanks a lot Suzy.
We need to accept what is true and then use that information to decide how to be most effective. It's easy to talk about defeating their innate...
I don't think we can! Personally, I think that questioning death threats etc is a bad idea in almost any situation. Even in cases like Crawley's...

I've got to admit to being sceptical about any part of the UK medical research Establishment, but we'll have to wait and see.
