We disagree, Valerie, I guess. The legal aid issue I see as largely a red herring. The injustice in the inquest goes much deeper than that, as in...
Another way of looking at it might be that you cannot diagnose (in BPS terms) a functional disorder and at the same time claim the person has...
The definition depends on more than just information. I agree that we think we could still come to a rational decision in the face of limited...
Yes, the archetypal do-gooder I suspect.
