It’s like the news media in general as to the progression of a news event. Much is not “well put together” in “real time.” The “whole truth” of the matter really doesn’t reveal itself for at least a few weeks.

I was thinking of drawing an analogy between the journalist and the professional historian! :D
One giving their best estimatation of events in real time, the other is reviewing the evidence and doing their best to put it into a comprehensible order after the event.

Indeed. Things often become clearer in retrospect.

It’s like being an Spectrumite. Things are often muddled in “real time,” but become much clearer in retrospect.

Haha! Yes, I know that feeling :lol:

That’s probably what will happen with these blanket DNR letters: investigations by the BMA & GMC, followed by parliamentary enquiry, followed by a judicial review.
There will most likely be suspensions during the process, with some people reinstated and others struck off the medical register and banned from practicing in the UK for life.
This process will most likely take a few years.

There are a couple of simple solutions for dealing with anyone who wants to practice eugenics on special needs people of any kind, and on anyone who isn't part of the norm.

First, immediately expose these cockroaches in the media, and immediately complain to the government, and to any supervisory organization that has authority over the persons or groups trying to engage in eugenics.

Second, if they don't immediately back down from their eugenics stance, then go after them with lawsuits.

They will start behaving in a civilized fashion very quickly after that.
