Is it entirely usual to agree to be photographed for a potential hatchet job, when one has no idea of the final form of the article? I would interpret a staged photograph to be an indication of the subject's approval of the content of the article. Is this not just a means of manipulating both...

The internet contains all sorts of surprising revelations. Not about ME, of course.

That's alright. I'm sure CBT would cure it.

What strikes one about most reports by so called science correspondents is how little interested they seem to be in the scientific issues rather than the gossip surrounding scientific subjects, for which no scientific qualifications might be necessary. Any other specialty would do equally well...

The rules of one organisation say "As ……… journalists we never identify with any side in an issue, a conflict or a dispute. Our text and visual stories need to reflect all sides, not just one". Sounds as though that must be a different organisation.

I wonder whether the journalist has the specific agreement of EC or her advisors to mention her. It would seem a very risky plan on her part. I suspect that there will be two recordings which she might prefer not to have reemerge. However the timing of all this does look as though it might have...

All must have prizes! As this was the expressed view of the Dodo let us hope they too are on the point of extinction.

I think that it is possible to become overconcerned about future events, This will just be another article. It is hard to see how it can say much that has not been said before. No doubt there will be a journalistic requirement to reflect all sides, not just one. If the journalist is watching...

Feilden must be mildly vexed. They fed him a story, and gave him a prize, but they failed to give him the scoop. How can he ever trust them again? I think it worth mentioning that if JE's theory about the reasons for non disclosure are valid, the patient concerned could not have been one of...

Thanks for the explanation @Jonathan Edwards . That now makes sense to me. It is probably the words that are confusing . My Interpretation then is that a normal immune system may give a normal response in relation to the signals which it is receiving, but abnormal in relation to the needs of the...

Could I take you back to another thread, I have forgotten which? I think we were discussing the cyclical relapsing/remitting symptoms- the sore throat, swollen glands, furry tongue etc It was suggested that the cause of these might be a persisting pathogen. As I recall, you thought it unlikely...

This had largely passed me by, but didn't Tom Feilden really deserve his award for all his hard work and effort in 2012. www.pressgazette.co.uk/british-journalism-awards-2012-showcase-science-journalist-year-finalists. So that was one article on animal rights activists-I think we can guess...

It would be a tactical error to use the fact that there is apparently an investigation, to challenge the commendation. What if the investigation clears her? The case for continued opposition would be substantially weakened. The outcome of investigations can never be predicted. In my opinion.

Like you, I have no doubt about VES. The fact remains that for the video to be regarded as credible evidence capable of use in a prosecution there would have to be someone who could say either that they had made the copy of the video, or that they had watched it on the internet and that this...

Did you ask what evidence had been seen as to the existence of death threats? Its a shame the interview didn't take place later. You could have asked if the journalist had been shown previously unknown video evidence. EDITED

Should they not just call it PT? That includes both Panacea Therapy and Physical Training.

I think this is highly relevant. One already detects a note of caution which has been introduced into the debate. When this is noted alongside the comments about uncertainty as to whether any article will actually appear, there is cause for concern. I must say that I was surprised at all the...

@dave30th Dave, has it been put to you that there are recent examples of "horrible behaviour" on the part of patients and that your work is enabling it, or is this merely a supposition? Have instances of any such alleged behaviour been cited? It is noted that the questions which you quote are...

That is true, but, if one hopes to win, not fighting rarely means doing nothing.

Have just reread it...…. Running rampant?..... Us?..... Shome mishtake, shurely, as Lord Gnome would have said.
