It's good, but I would think she really needs lots more. There must be so many people.

Yes, I was thinking along the same lines. This will all die a death unless more follow-up debates happen. It's a bit like keeping a ball in the air - it just drops to the ground without determined and continuous efforts to keep it up; the ball has just been kicked into the political air. I'm no...

These people only exist in these roles because of the PACE trial and its spin-offs, and the cult following that it incubated.

[My bold] :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Even if the limbs have the capability, if the physiological signalling to them is screwed, it will still be a physiological condition.

Ooooh Sir Simon ... careful those slopey shoulders of yours don't let that knighthood slip. You have gone on record many times after all, saying what a wonderful trial PACE was.

If this could shift PACE into the political arena and thereby reported by political journalists, the SMC's stranglehold on science media reporting might become much less significant. (I almost missed a typo, where I missed the 'f' in shift ... was almost tempted to leave it ;) ).

'Scandal' is a very good word. It's a word that people tend to tune into, and headline writers like.

I suppose this is roughly analagous to a taxation law, that is then explained in more detail in a guideline document. The guideline document has no remit to change the law itself.

One of the letter's great strengths - amongst many - is that it tightly focuses on just one issue, but an issue that is absolutely damning and totally inescapable.

When I read about the PACE trial and its illusory outcomes, I always come back to the one thing I know, like I really really know ... I first met my wife in 1977, and we have been together ever since; she went down with ME in 2006. She has always had a very strong drive to do as much as she is...

They may prefer to attend and see which way the wind might be blowing first. I think in these sort of cases such allegiances can be influenced by who might drop who in the sh*t.

It would certainly be very poor if no one from the department of health turned up! I'm sure they would like to snub it, but hopefully will want to know what goes on.

[My bold] Oh well, that argument is obviously completely rational, given how they fully justify their reasoning for it not being appropriate ... not! :rolleyes::rolleyes:.

No, I fully understood you were not knocking Carol's efforts. It is immensely frustrating that nothing seems to change despite all efforts. I'm just hoping that the general mood is changing, and that some things may be harder to sweep under the carpet now. I think that even though the outcome of...

Sent an email, which I posted here, https://www.s4me.info/threads/meaction-urge-your-mp-to-attend-parliamentary-debate-on-pace-trial-tuesday-20-feb.2402/#post-45111, but realise probably would have been better in this thread. Link to it therefore.

I fully agree with your disgust at this Graham, but I think it needs to be seen in context. As yet the wider world still has no real understanding of ME, nor interest in it. And although there are highly political aspects to the PACE trial, it has always been successfully kept under wraps...

Yep.

Maybe she could delegate someone else from her office, to attend and report back?

I work in the UK for a large German company, and although we have some female engineers and scientists in the UK, the proportion seems significantly higher in Germany. From my experience (both UK and Germany) they are all supremely good. I do wonder if the answer to the UK's productivity problem...
