DR DAVID GRAHAM and anyone who has the passion and courage to stand-up for the Truth while all around turn away.
I have always been a strong believer in Social Justice, and defending the underdog, those with little or no voice. I never expected to end up in what became such a fight, and so close to Home.
"What do you intend to do about it?" The Corporate Executive asked.... My Reply.... "Go to the National Press, tell the People..."
READ THE STORY - THE TRUE STORY?... NOT REALLY.... THE TRUTH WAS KNOWN LONG, LONG BEFORE.... A STORY THAT WAS NEVER MEANT TO SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY.... THE GOVERNMENT AGENCY INVOLVED (NO LESS THAN THE UK EQUIVALENT OF THE FDA!) WAS SUBSEQUENTLY ABOLISHED FOR FAILING TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC, AND FOR ESSENTIALLY BEING IN THE POCKETS OF SUCH GLOBAL CORPORATE ENTITIES.
Along with The Times, The Guardian is probably the UK's most respected National Paper
I am happy for all those little ol' Moms, Dads, Brothers, Sisters, Husbands and Wives who are alive today, many of whom would otherwise be dead or suffering serious disability, but the price was high.... it cost me my closest and dearest friend.
IRENE - Named after the Greek goddess of Peace
DR DAVID GRAHAM - Forbes Personality of The Year
- A Man of infinte Courage, Heart and Inspiration... He also had to stand alone.... Why? -
On a more personal level, please read this beautiful and honest piece of writing on the subject, which a dear friend, Kathie, was kind enough to share with me.
