Kirby's UK report

[Guest guest]

From: " Kirby " <dkirby@...>

FYI, here is a brief report on my UK trip.

On the downside, there was not a lot of media

coverage: A BBC interview was cancelled and the

commissioned Daily Mail has not run. There were

reporters at the House of Lords briefing from

Reuters, The Spectator and The Telegraph, and I

did meet for an hour earlier in the day with the

main health producer for all the BBC networks,

which was good. She seemed respectful and open

minded. But I don’t expect any coverage (except

maybe the Spectator, a weekly magazine).

On the other hand, much good will come from the trip:

1) Audio and Video – There will be both, from

the Parliament briefing and the Regent Hall

lecture (a documentary team from England is now

editing it together with my slides and putting it

on DVD). All of these materials will be used for

a variety of purposes, including delivering

select portions on DVD UK media and Members of

Parliament and the House of Lords.

2) You Tube - Many of these clips will also be put on You Tube.

3) Autism One Radio – They have put together

and entire packet of the trip, with speeches,

Q/A’s and an interview with me. It will run next week.

4) Polly Toomey – The Autism File – They have

a video taped interview that will be distributed

to their network and magazine readers.

5) News One Click – They covered my trip from

the beginning and did an in-depth personal

interview, which will run soon in their newsletter.

6) Daily Telegraph and Sunday Sun – Both ran

very good articles prior to my trip.

7) Regent Hall – Around 100 people showed up

for the Regent Hall talk, including government,

Pharma and medical personnel. Some had handheld

video cameras, so I hope they report back to their HQs.

8) Follow up in the House of Lords – Cliff

and Blakemore are in close contact

with Lord and Lady Hodgson, and will work with

His Lordship on political measures within

Parliament. Keep in mind that Lords can directly

question Ministers of the Government during the

weekly Question Time sessions. I am certain that

Lord Hodgson will bring this matter up soon in

the House of Lords. I hope that people in the media over there will take note.

I really want to thank Blakemore, who got

Lord Hodgson to sponsor the briefing and who set

up the reading and book signing in Kensington,

and did so much else to help, and was so kind and

supportive. Also Sally Beck, a freelance

reporter, who worked on the media, Cliff ,

Rosie Kessick, who found Regent Hall, a terrific

venue, Jane of One Click, Polly Toomey of

Autism One and The Autism File, and Gudrun

Jonsson, who hosted the Kensington event.

Finally, I do hope you will take just one moment

and send a brief note of thanks to Lord Robin

Hodgson of Astley Abbots – He and his wife, Lady

Fiona Hodgson, could not have been kinder or more

gracious. They are very serious about vaccine

safety issues in the UK. I think they will

appreciated hearing some words of thanks and support from America.
