Kev,

The fault is mine. I didn’t realize that “century” was one of the cranks who lurk around this topic. They emptionally feed off these kind of interactions because they have nothing else. Therefore, I wouldn’t knowingly address anything from them whatseoever.

Nevertheless, if he makes a £500 donation via paypal to your website, I’ll take a day out of my schedule to write an overview of the GMC hearing. Otherwise, I don’t have the time.

For free, I’ll say that, among other things, the GMC’s lawyers have done a good job in proving my investigation to the criminal standard of evidence, bizarrely still required for doctors’ disciplinary purposes. This is more than I ever needed, or will ever need, to do.

No century, I don’t know it. If I knew it I wouldn’t be asking. What you’ve done so far is asked if someone will answer a question and then pretended the lack of an answer is significant. You do this every single time you turn up here. Its getting really, really old. I want people to contribute something of substance Century, not try and force meaning into silence.

My point has been made – you know it, Brian knows it.

Century, why do you continually do this? If you have a point to make, make it. If you don’t then stop carrying on like a giggly pre-teen in a playground.

Does Brian need you to answer for him?

Go on Brian, tell us your take on the hearings so far.

You might even find it cathartic ;-)

The reason Wakefield et al are before the GMC is because they have a case to answer. And when the transcripts/judgements are released we’ll all know how it went. Until then you’re just sounding off. Feel free to carry on, but please don’t think that means anyone owes you anything.

Brian doesn’t need you to answer for him. And no, I can’t be patient – it’s too much fun because Brian just won’t do it.

The reason Wakefield et al are before the GMC is totally due to Brian’s personal crusade – not one parent/autistic child has made a complaint about the 3 in question.

Only 2 observers have been at the hearings practically every day – Brian and Martin Walker, and 1 has written an account and the other hasn’t. Is there no positive spin Brian can put on it?

Brian continues on certain blogs with insinuendo.

“This has meant that many incriminating documents (including some that I have) are not in evidence.”

Publish them Brian – after all you obtained them under the FOI, so they are in the public domain.

“Sadly, the problems of scheduling so many doctors and lawyers to appear in the same room at the same time means we’ll have to wait till next spring to see how this variant of the Vicky Pollard defence plays out.”

Prosecution ploy? Who knows?
