Two things can be true at once. The disruption at the golf was a peurile and counterproductive measure. The statement by the club/Desmond was dictatorial and an overreaction. We're in a total stand-off with things only likely to get worse.

"This is the opposite of how science ought to work." George Monbiot on those pushing "false and dangerous" cures for #MECFS, "entrenched" in their beliefs and doubling down rather than admit the "great harm" to the lives of thousands of people.

@rokewood.bsky.social well what can we say that hasn't been said multiple times? Nothing short of wholesale change can save us. We've got that failing empire look about us, only with plenty of cash jingling in the biscuit tin.
