That is the case. In Spanish, you would say an illness is "the cancer, the heart disease" etc

If Sharpe is so patronising to intelligent woman like Frances Ryan & Carol Monaghan.... .....what's he like with female patients?

I came across the article when browsing the Atlantic (covers similar ground to the New Statesman or Spectator but in my opinion with better writers). The reviewer Gary Greenberg is a psychotherapist, where as the author Anne Harrington is an academic in the History of Science with particular...

I'm trying to find where I read it. I believe it was revealed when Liddle's 2014 book Selfish, Whining Monkeys came out. It was also a factor when Isabel Hardman wrote a piece on ME for the Spectator. She later revealed he suffers from depression. When people with depression are told ME is not...

PS thanks to @JohnTheJack for contacting Frances to correct a few things.

Yes, a mixed bag with the focus on Liddle.There are links to articles on the science. Obviously S4ME members know the science & politics inside out despite both being complicated to explain to the lay person. Bless them, Frances Ryan's advisers aren't the strongest on the science though. The...

Steve has also been accused of anti-Semitism too for his past Tweets. https://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/nish-kumar-apology-the-mash-report-steve-topple-the-canary-antisemitic-conspiracy-theory-theories-1.473575 Whilst we appreciate his work on ME, critics will bring up articles like this one...

Steve Topple isn't everyone's cup of tea for some of the other causes and people he is involved with eg George Galloway.

When Frances Ryan publishes her Guardian piece, it might be worth contacting Jackie Long & other relevant journalists. Essentially you're leveraging content in the "mainstream media" to generate more. That's what happened with Kelland's Reuters piece, it stimulated similar pieces elsewhere...

That's ok, we know the feeling. I have plenty of curmudgeonly days and I get very prickly with the long suffering people around me. Hope it passes and you feel better soon.

Glad to see there is someone more curmudgeonly than me today. ;)

It's a pretty good piece covering the main PACE/Sharpe/DWP issues. He knows his stuff on this topic. He talks about his partner's illness in one of the links he gives. https://mrtopple.com/2019/02/10/why-im-giving-up-writing/ The one reservation is Steve's background formerly writing for the...

@NelliePledge needs a Twitter presence.

Not even skeletons in the cupboard on Instagram?

You are informed but you may not notice if you have a large number of notifications at one time. Tina Rodwell just noticed today.

You may be interested to know that Kate Kelland, the journalist behind the Reuters Michael Sharpe story, follows a large number of S4ME members on Twitter. https://twitter.com/kkelland/following We know about @Paul Watton & @dave30th. The list also includes as @Spoonseeker & Simon McGrath...

Some thoughts on Michael Sharpe *His victim story has backfired spectacularly. Patients who didn't know about his role in PACE and history of daft comments do now. *He is most patronising with women. Carol Monaghan is even more determined to support the patient community after his "unbecoming"...

*Newspapers will print something controversial to generate a reaction which they'll print and things go on from there for several days. *The Times (if not the Sunday Times) hasTom Whipple who has written good balanced piecespieces in ME. He can be encouraged to do so again. *I'm sure Messrs...

Various journalists are opining about Liddle on Twitter (in general not about today's article)
