From the end of James Coyne's article:



Please read the whole thing and give him the traffic at:

I don't like giving Coyne any traffic at all.. his behaviour makes him persona non grata as far as I'm concerned & personally when sharing I prefer to copy and past and not share directly from his page and of course provide the observation of a 'caveat', but I do think the comment about the two women doctors was interesting.

A great article.

Click an advertisement on the page.

Widely shared and viewed could help in further commissions for Ms Wright too.
Help feed good journalists.

I just read the whole thing and wow, it is very good. An excellent informative and detailed article that says it like it is about both the disease itself and the political machinations involved in the years of denying/trivialising it, with plenty of links to references. My one concern though, is whether the article will be allowed to stand or if a 'quiet phone call' might result in its sudden disappearance, because it really exposes a lot of BS for all to see. HUGE thanks and kudos to the author and the Independent for such a brave piece. An absolute must-read.

This was my feeling too
 
I think a good way to increase the article circulation is to tag groups that might be allies - disability journalists/ groups/orgs, feminist groups, lgbt groups for example, and politicians etc; to try and spread the story beyond us & to build solidarity & recognition of similar ways in which other groups are oppressed. + to raise awareness

hope that makes sense, brain = fried

(sorry - I didn't mean to imply that there aren't people who belong to multiple groups)
 
@Nathalie Wright, I'm speechless at the thoroughness, clarity and blistering precision of your game-changing article.
I don't know how to thank you for this, except to tell you that my awe is equal to my gratitude for this epic piece of journalism.

Thank you thank you thank you from the legions of us housebound and bedbound patients that have been for too long ignored or, more recently, "given a voice" by those who would like to appropriate our collective message to their own ends.
