Is there no scope for anyone being 'off message' in the UK?
The unfortunately named Prof Nutt declared that alcohol was more dangerous than some drugs and he's clearly right.
We thrive on idependent thought but apparently this undermines the message.
Surely it highlights it and provokes an open debate to get people thinking.
We were highly critical when this sort of thing happened in an Eastern European country in the old iron curtain days.
We looked on with a wagging finger of liberalism at Solidarity's protests in Gdansk.
How have we got here?

I totally agree with you on this, surely people like prof nutt are paid for their views and insight into their relevant area of expertise. So why does the media slate them when they offer an opinion that does not necessarily run parallel with public opinion.
