Well, that's not a hard connection to make, when you know about the role of the First Minister of Scotland in the prosecution of her predecessor, Alex Salmond. If you were also to know the identity of one of the accusers, which cannot be reported, but is well known in Scotland, you would find the connection even easier.

What is it that you think he did? He was accused of 'jigsaw identification' but, to my knowledge, no-offending words have been produced.

In contrast, several newspapers have reported information which revealed the identity of one or more accusers, but were not prosecuted.

It is exactly what is happening.

No, 'printing money' does not mean physically printing banknotes.

'Printing money' has nothing to do with printing bank notes.

It's not hard to get a doctor's attention when he knows you will provide him with golf days and holidays, if he plays his cards right.

Agree with you on that.

He struck me as completely oblivious to what was likely to have been a complete lack of interest.

His approach was never going to work, as doctors do not spend their time evaluating drugs in the way that he imagined.

He had not the slightest idea of how doctors prescribe drugs.

The typical doctor has minimal training in evaluating medicines - that is not their job.

They defer to so-called opinion-leaders, who are the experts on particular diseases.

These people are the targets of drug companies' marketing - think scientific conferences in 5 star hotels in exotic locations.

The cost of influencing them would be millions.

So,the author was barking up the wrong tree.

That's not to say that he didn't have something, but had no idea how to market it.

So, the question is how much margin they needed for the position - long the future, short TAS.

Not a lawyer - think the main issue will be whether the companies are shown to have manipulated safety testing.

If not, then it will be a case of bad rules allowing a bad product to have been used.

Strange country where the media says who won the election. Elsewhere, there is an official announcement.

I see - you want the CPI to reflect your personal situation.

it is revenge of the nerds sniff of power and the bullied become the bullies
