AFME and PACE trial

[Jenny]

He doesn't have much involvement with the North London ME group these days. Don't know about AFME. The second doc you linked to shows he's been very critical of the NICE guidelines.

Could you be an Action for M.E. Trustee?

February 08, 2016

Action for M.E. is seeking applications from people with direct experience of M.E. who would like to become a Trustee. As a charity for people with M.E., led by people with M.E., our constitution requires that at least half of our Trustees have, or have had, M.E. This means that we currently have two vacancies.........................

Deserves its own thread - I'll start one.

Our government and Big Business/Elite's "dirty ticks brigade" came up with tricks to defeat peaceful protest groups

I like the idea of the dirty ticks brigade. Could this be the cause of Lyme.

I reffer to the way the internal security services AND the corporate and other entities they are emeshed with, plus other groups such as PR for large businesses that sort of "think alike"
They have lot of money and power, they are NOT there to protect the Public in the case of FBI and MI5 but to keep the System going
Individuals and smaller units of security services may have benign desires but over all the services sure as hell do not
After seeing Ghandi etc they had to come up with ways to deal with "soft protest"
Ironically they have ensured the doom of our civilization in their arrgosmt demand for short term stability and power

Lyme is very likely a US bioweapon that got out, there's nothing at all unlikely in that scenario
Fits their outlook on bioweapons att the time as well, more about economic and social.disruption than megadeaths
Russians had at least two disasters with bioweapons escaping, so it's perfectly plausible

Apologies @SilverbladeTE . I was obviously failing to make a humorous reference based on your typo "dirty ticks (sic) brigade" which conjured up all sorts of images.

DOH!
Sorry, my brains in hibernation mode at the moment, sorry for ruining a good joke
Frikkin weather and stress thanks to the DWP etc makes one as mentally aware as a drunk man in a dense fog climbing a slope made of glass using his balls for traction

Those is the reason why AFME are supposedly slightly less shit now. Their government trough has dried up and now wanting folk to help them again. I wonder how much they got for the PACE trial and whether it was worth it.

I wish AFME and AYME would just call in the liquidators! It would so help people with ME if they went into administration.

Sadly many families believe ayme helps them until the harm has been done..

Then they need to start speaking up. Or suing the pants off them so that this won't continue to happen to other families--the point of some legal suits--to prevent further harm.

Not that easy with the U.K. Legal system.
