Anarchism is founded on the observation that since few men are wise enough to rule themselves, even fewer are wise enough to rule others.

I have read a fair amount of Jock Coats in my time. He may not mean to be supporting profits before people but the outcomes of his way of thinking decidedly are. It was the essential tenet of Classical Liberalism that the economy must thrive irrespective of the human cost. The market would winnow out wheat from chaff. The results of such thinking can be found in Dickens.
Are you really saying that Nutt's judgement in one case should not be taken into account when thinking about his other "independent" statements. The issue here is how much he is/was being paid to downplay the dangers of certain drugs to further the aims of corporate expansionism. About how safe clinical judgements are if driven by profiteers etc. Can we really trust anything the Pharmas have to say via their spokesmen (like Nutt?) on safety issues?
If Nutt is wrong on Prozac et al, then how wrong is he on everything else? If he seems prepared to try and bury evidence in relation to Prozac, what other evidence would he be prepared to bury?
Personally I am amazed he got away with his double dealing for so long.
