Having lived in the UK for my first 26 years and Germany for my second 26 years, I can agree with this: I can also agree with this: With the last two words deleted. Whilst I would much rather be ill in Germany and my experience of the health system here is much better than in the UK, German...

Not exactly making the path to salvation any easier is he?

To be fair we've been blaming a bunch of comedians ever since they authored the PACE trial.

Oh good, glad it wasn't a moderation issue. Have at it @Esther12!

Maybe I'll get into even more trouble. Did you remember to invoke the almighty when you sinned? Always helps.

cough *Anthony Pelosi* cough Oh may the good lord have mercy on my soul for that

I wouldn't worry, I'm sure no-one will go searching for clues: And look up the citation to see who has been beseeching the almighty for forgiveness, in a review of a publication by his mates no less on page 82 of the following...

I've only just got round to listening to the first 3 episodes - absolutely excellent, I'm very much looking forward to hearing the rest.

Michael Sharpe doesn't get to define what conduct is becoming for an MP. The presumption of the fellow! He should concern himself with what conduct is becoming of a scientist, because he has continuously fallen way short of the mark.

Looks like a good article but I can't read it because that "featured articles" video on the left is too distracting - moving picture in the corner of my eye when I'm trying to read is too annoying. Can't scroll it away or turn it off, so the article will just have to go unread.

Has that become a fact now? I'll have to be more careful ...

Well that could have gone both ways but fortunately I think it went our way. Interesting to see the longer clip - Gervais doesn't look as bad in the longer clip as he is made to look in Unrest - he says he knows it's a physiological disease and not psychosomatic. Possibly, I don't pretend to...

I'm not so sure. That's certainly how Sharpe is trying to portray it. She may have just been making the point that to write to her in such terms at all in any context is unacceptable. If his only defence is that he was falsely accusing her misrepresenting science, that's a pretty poor defence...

Now this is interesting. As well as his "have you really read it?" meme, he also has a "are you really a scientist?" meme. Both just name calling, but interesting.

One of the many things I had to give up because of ME was charitable work. When Michael Sharpe finally gets out of the way so that work on my illness can progress, if I ever recover to the point that I can take up charity work again, and I happen to find him in front of me hopefully holding up...

I suspect it would be interesting to see how he describes his critics, which would help show his true colours and undermine his credibility further. Oh I get it. In his briefing he said misrepresenting science in parliament is conduct unbecoming of an MP. She said standing up for the most...

Three mistakes in 4 words? (privilege spelt wrong, disappointing shouldn't be an adverb, though spelt wrong). Or does he mean the debate was disappointingly thorough? Unlike his grasp of spelling and grammar. No matter. This from a guy who has never used his privileged position to defame...

Boom. Mic(hael) drop.

Rather annoying for Sharpe that the only speaker who could remotely be said to be offering Sharpe a glimmer of hope / a little defence, the minister, also demanded his apology. So after the most disastrous name-dropping exercise I've ever seen from Wessely, we now have the most disastrous...
