  8. Skewing the evidence 2

    The phrase "since the 2001 al-Qaida attacks" was wrongly attributed to me. In my view, "al-Qaida", as an omnipotent terrorist organisation, is a figment of the US media's imagination and there's no...

  12. Poor mental health is no fantasy 2

    I was alarmed by Frank Furedi's selective use of our 2001-02 survey data on counselling in higher and further education. In trumpeting his claims of a rampant "therapy culture" in British...

    The news story "Mentors count personal costs" ( THES , October 17) thankfully, but unknowingly, pre-empted Frank Furedi's provocative twaddle. Student mentors, who do not have their own mentors,...
