Its such a good word, sounds really insulting, doesn't it?
you have to ask why does this person keep getting featured in prominent TV and newspaper slots about the subject,
what has she done to be considered the 'foremost expert' and why its always just her or simon wessely ? as charles said he was contacted but then 'something' made them drop it. Also did Dr Davis ever get that article published when he did that interview at the conference in london ?

For a long time they have tried to put words into patients mouths. Its getting harder now others are also attacking their poor research.

That usual someone phoned someone (editor/producer) last night .
Usual someone. Controlling the message.
Drop CS.
He is not on message.
What IS the point in the CMRC anyway? It's Holgate's / PDW's / Crawley's baby which yes, should have been strangled at birth. There is no bar to 'collaboration' at all. It's already happening with yearly get-togethers at the Invest in ME Conference... but it's done without silly rules and regulations and BPS Chairs. Just get rid of the whole damn shameful thing and kick the BPS influence into touch.
YEP , YEP and thrice 'YEP'.
You can say it..it just carries zero weight.
Yes but the MEA and Charles Shepherd are jealous of Invest in ME and that is why they want to get into the tent with Esther Crawley and undermine IIME.

The MEA have done nothing for ME patients and are just used by the BPSers. The BPS have gone from strength to strength for two decades and the MEA and its advisors just stood by. Charles Shepherd just gets used by Esther Crawley and the psychs and he cannot even see that.
I am more annoyed with the MEA and Charles Shepherd than Esther Crawley.

Agree with your post except this bit. It would be exceptionally unfair to corral them in the same tent wouldn't it? Enough about tents!
Charles and Esther have been in the same tent for a long time.
It's a bit rich for him to now play shock/horror about what EC has done to patients and said about the MEA. What do you think she is going to do? Doh
The MEA and Charles specifically chose to sleep in the Esther Crawley/CMRC/MEGA Tent. Now lie in it.

She does know. She doesn't give a sh*t. She does compute ... but running very different software to normal people.
I think the day will come when it actually stigmatises her.

Which of course is the classic pot calling the kettle black behaviour of her sort of person.
How about Dr. + Crawley.
It's the SMC, and we know whose whats they can't stop licking.
A point of getting her out would be ... to see the look on her face.
I'm not interested in her face. Having said that if I want to revel in a bit of schadenfreude seeing the CMRC implode would be much more satisfying, not least as it means one distraction which takes the eye off proper advocacy will be out of the way. As much as these silly people irritate me I can't wait to see the back of them, have a chance at health and not give them another thought. They're dispensable ... indifference will be a far greater cross for them to bear I'd wager.
