One must probably start with the assumption that those currently responding are stating accurately what the accounts appear to show. Can afurther FOI be made requesting further and better particulars of the £1.6 million payment, specifically the dates and method of payment. It has to be...

Is that information available separately to what was said to have been done and found?

Who is it again that is ill with the dissociative disorder?

One can test the seriousness of this project. Has there been agreement between the international members as to the likely costs budget needed, and the division of those costs between members? If not, is Afme picking up the bill in return for the use of the names of the others? How often would...

If we hear more of him, how long do we expect it to be before the name undergoes a reversal?

What do we presume the procedure would be? BBC contacts SMC. Does SMC then contact the duty psychiatrist and ask for a stock a see, or do they have the stock response on file? So who wrote this? Which of them cannot distinguish between infer and imply? Do they then go to the trouble of...

Investigative reporting at its best. ....evidence that these treatments are safe and useful for some patients. I suspect that the average twelve year old could spot the potential follow up questions.

I presumed that the "living dead" suggestion wad an Aussie wind-up. Apparently not. Does no-one remember the sketch-perhaps it was "I'm sorry I'll read that again", which ended "and he joined the ranks of the living dead....yes,he became a Chartered Accountant." Apologies to chartered...

It is worth mentioning that although the language here is of "linked organisations" the Welcome page of the Forward MEwebsite talks of membership. It also says that members are free to opt into activities. That is not much of a freedom unless they are informed what the activities are. If...

We must all have been ill that day.

I once came across a comment which may have general application. The comment was to the effect that the only people with the skills to understand and interpret answers to questionnaires have no need of them. Edit. Questionnaires, that is, not skills.

I realise that this was not the object of the post but what immediately struck me was how readily reference to the heart can be seen to be metaphorical. In contrast the concept of mind is rarely seen in the dame way, despite the explanations of Gilbert Ryle.

It is revealing when one discovers the history of those whose judgment one trusts on the subject of ME. Strange that they all turn out to be people the "experts" would have us believe cannot be relied on.

Is online treatment what "kids" receive when they've been hung out to dry?

This is presumably all being done in response to the clamour from people with ME that what they wanted more than anything was an additional layer of unaccountable bureaucracy. Who exactly do you call if you want to speak to the new organisation? Have we ever managed to discover to whom Afme is...

If you are trying to carve out for yourself a new career, it is inadvisable to share, too early, information which might put a stop to it. Edited for punctuation.

Is there a study under way testing the curative effects of emesis?

Was it entirely coincidental that the person interviewed to support the claims was Colin Blakemore, who must be the person with the greatest experience of genuine harassment?

You clearly had not got the idea of graded exercise therapy at that early stage. You needed a smaller,lighter envelope. If necessary you should have sent half the letter the following day.

Thanks for the update. I suspect that we have all learned something from this sorry tale. Reverting to the subject of Afme advocacy in Geneva, the question that will naturally arise is to what extent is Afme strategy independent of Forward-ME? Do these developments mean that Afme will be using...
