@JerrykoolKeogh @LcdViews The problem is politics in this country has descended to tribalism (thanks to the EU referendum) and many people judge ‘good’ and ‘bad’ decisions by which party made them, not the end result.

@leeflang_m If you don’t have time and this is for a medic, the difference to harming vs helping a patient might work: learning the true RoB criteria means a doctor will pick up a study and know whether they can believe and use its results. Rep criteria might lead to poorer decisions…

The Met has issued this "apology"

"We absolutely did not want to be in a position where enforcement action was necessary. But we were placed in this position because of the overriding need to protect people’s safety."

Look what you made me do is the defense of every abuser.
