Rapid Response:

Brunet and Lewis are in complete agreement.
Here is a major section of the NHS ,the general practitioners, engaged in a misleading and unethical exercise. Why? Because they are obeying orders from Her Majesty's Govt.
Her Majesty should really consider whether her servants who issued the orders should not really spend Christmas in the Tower. In the company of corvids.

Now the General Medical Council. It is your job really to find out whether any registered medical practitioners wrote, or colluded in the writing of misleading and unethical commands. Admonishment and compulsory attendance at an ethics course, held in the Tower, over Christmas and Boxing Day might suffice.
Merry Christmas wherever you are.
