Delighted to see that Simon Singh has finally won his libel case. It is plain wrong that Singh should ever have had to risk bankruptcy and his career. I’m not even going to go into the details on here, in case the British Chiropractic Association’s lawyers are trawling the net for other people to take to court.
The UK is a strange and worrying place these days: Professor Nutt was silenced for trying to speak some sense on drugs, based on evidence, knowledge and experience, Singh gets it in the neck for questioning evidence in complementary medicine that affects all of us. Is it for this that the government wants to send 50% of young people to University – to end up being punished for critical evaluation and questioning, the very things for which one is rewarded as a student?
