It's actually going to end in my lifetime isn't it? (38 soon, so not setting my sights too high)
It will be over soon. They will appeal and lose. The data will be published, and PACE will be torn to shreds.
I hope that then, public awareness will increase, more critics will find the courage to speak out, and the CBT/GET empire will be questioned. Developments in the US and biomedical science will further increase pressure on politicians and they will eventually have to stop supporting CBT/GET. PACE authors will be isolated and go down in history as frauds. Mass lawsuits for GET inflicted harm are not out of the question.
In twenty years, people will laugh about the bizarre idea of ME/CFS being a disorder of beliefs and behaviour.
PS: in fact, the smart thing to do after PACE is torn to shreds, would be to contrast biomedical perspective and findings (bolstered by developments in the US) with the BPS perspective and junk science. It makes for an interesting story. We just need some good writers. Maybe someone will write a book.
