Who is “Dr Crippen”

[Guest guest]

Hi

Who is “Dr Crippen”

and why is The Guardian newspaper engaged in repeatedly attacking the ME

patient community?

Time to find out.

It is said that 'The

Guardian' newspaper is required to take the name and address of anyone who

submits an 'article' to be published. This is done for obvious reasons.

Following yet another

Guardian article by the mysterious “Dr Crippen” who now routinely uses his

space on the Guardian website to denigrate the ME community; it has been

decided that enough is enough.

There is now an

initiative under way to try to find out who this mysterious Dr Crippen is and

also why the Guardian is so negatively selective in its coverage of issues

concerning Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

The question is being

asked as to why readers of the Guardian do not have the right to know who this

doctor is and why he hides behind the title of “Dr Crippen”?

Ralph from

MEActionUK has put together a letter to the Editor of the Guardian in an

attempt to get the name of this coward hiding in anonymity.

’s letter also

tries to establish why the Guardian is so intent on being derogatory towards a

sick and disabled group of patients.

He is hoping for

signatories to back him in this and he is currently collecting your names and

basic details of where you live to add to this letter.

Professor Malcolm

Hooper has very kindly offered to give his support to this letter.

The 2nd

draft of this letter can be viewed here.
