Getting 400,000 people out and active in their community for free, every week, in 2400+ locations, is no mean feat.

It takes an army.

Some things make me very happy. Just received the new album by William Doyle from Drift Records in startling eternal blue vinyl: signed too with a little poster inside! Revelling in its beauty before a dedicated listening session tonight. Thanks Mr Doyle!

We forget sometimes just how good we are: having this reflected by influential international visitors helps to remind us of this. Helping Jeju Island become the healthiest place to live in Asia should help us to do the same here!

In this thread I will explain why claims by people, who have been caught copy/pasting other people's text, that 'It was an oversight' are generally BS.
I'll use a non-current example: Paul McCrory, who ripped off large chunks of text from an article by Steve Haake OBE.

Blimey, I don't remember writing this! (Mind you it was 12 years ago!) I think I might still have an iPhone 4S on my shelf of aged tech!

Yesterday the Prime Minister tore up a decade of commitments to South Yorkshire and the north. Now we need clarity on what comes next. My ten questions to the Government following the PM’s speech below 👇

So far Steve Haake OBE the elephant in the room hasn’t been addressed. It’s as if they have already forgot the issues of before.

The Elephant-in-the-Room is ignored in programme. Will there be open dialogue on McCrory's debasement of scientific fact? Will CISG take out McCrory's papers from consensus statement & see what's left? Will they follow the rest of the world & concede link between impact and CTE?

Steve Thompson says how it is: a reminder that plagiarism and falsifying science has real consequences on real people. 'McCrory has blood on his hands' Stephen Thompson MBE

When I started digging into McCrory's plagiarism, I had no idea it would end up here...
