For those who missed it over the weekend, or if it has slipped down the

more than 450 signatures.

Be assured that we shall pursue this and, equally offensive nasty pieces

of work, relentlessly, wherever we find them. One more push before we

send them this round, please.

This is my e-mail to the Press Complaints Commission, which model anyone

may copy OR (not both) sign a petition, which I have started but not

signed to avoid double counting my name (Short ink:

Re, Rod Liddle, ‘Pretend disabled’ really ARE sick (The Sun, 26 January

2012)

" I understand that you already have received more than 100 complaints

about Rod Liddle's article,‘Pretend disabled’ really ARE sick in The

Sun, 26 January 2012. Please add my name to the list.

Since I know that this figure will grossly underestimate the actual

number of people offended and distressed because an estimated 25% are so

severely affected as to be housebound or bedridden that they may be

unaware the offence was committed and, of the remainder, the majority

will not have sufficient energy to write.

I have, therefore, initiated two mutually exclusive choices to redress

the balance: (1) suggest that people affected by M.E., or their carers,

e-mail or write to you with the standard two opening lines I have sent

to you. Please do not take this to be laziness but some compensation for

their extreme lack of energy; OR (not both) (2) sign a petition, I have

started but not signed to avoid double counting. This includes people

from outside the UK, who are nevertheless affected by International

broadcasting, whether you would normally regard them within your remit.

Yours sincerely

Sign the petition:

" We urge the Press Complaints Commission (PCC) to condemn the work of

Rod Liddle (‘Pretend disabled’ really ARE sick, The Sun, 26 January

portrayals of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and its sufferers, in general,

in the hope of deterring this unpleasant journalism. "
