Sense about Science

Posted by The Blog Swan in science, tags: libel reform, sense about science, simon singh

I don’t know what vexes me more at the moment, the BCA (who I will not deign to link to) suing Simon Singh for libel, or the numpty’s in my beloved country that voted in two BNP MEP’s.

I am however a supporter of the “Sense about Science” campaign. Any organisation dedicated to fighting crackpots, frauds and pseudoscientists is going to find favour with me.

I do urge everyone to go and sign the ‘Keep Libel Laws out of Science’ petition here. Have a read, have a think. Is this the way we want things to continue?
