Charles Shepherd
Scandalous All Party Parliamentary Group On
ME/CFS Exposed
This was the first All Party Parliamentary Group on M.E (APPGME) meeting I'd
ever been able to attend and I've now seen for myself how the APPGME operates.
Worst of all was the surprisingly unprofessional and unhelpful behaviour of the
Chairman, Des Turner MP and the Secretary, the Countess of Mar, right at the
start of the meeting. Dr Charles Shepherd of the discredited Myalgic
'Encephalopathy' Association (MEA) has produced an account of the meeting on the
MEA website that is false. It is not just a distortion of the facts, it is
blatantly wrong. This meeting "got off to an extremely regrettable start",
alright - but not because of the M.E. patients present; it was thanks to the
Chairman's and Secretary's inability to control themselves. The salaries of the
public figures involved now published. And it's the sick and disabled these
people are supposed to help who are branded "benefits scroungers"?
