Oh THAT is funny!

Much as I dislike the vile pro-totalitarian collectivist islamo-fascist loving anti-semitic jackasses at Indymedia, that is actually quite an accurate write up of IPN, which is indeed the finest 'think tank' money can buy.

IPN's Julian Morris is a particularly obnoxious individual.

A (hopefully) tongue in cheek prospectus by two otherwise serious but disillusioned medical researchers.

IPN was OK when Roger Bate worked there. He's a really great guy. The problem was when Dr Julian Morris became the sole director.

Indymedia claims Morris does not have a PhD and yet calls himself a doctor. That is libellous, isn't it?


Posted by Johnathan Pearce at October 22, 2005 12:17 PM

Not if it's true.


Posted by Sproglet at October 22, 2005 12:51 PM

Sproglet, let's hope for the sake of that guttersnipe site that they are telling the truth. Otherwise, it's get-a-good-lawyer time!


Posted by Johnathan Pearce at October 22, 2005 01:18 PM

Google "Dr Julian Morris".


Posted by Sproglet at October 22, 2005 04:11 PM

No doctorate listed on his CV...


Posted by Guido Fawkes at October 22, 2005 04:14 PM

Well, if Morris is not a doctor in any sense, I am a bit surprised no one has rumbled him before.

Indymedia are still bastards, mind.

Indymedia are still bastards, mind.

But at least they aren't the bastard children of the Institute of Economic Affairs.

The Sourcewatch entry for the International Policy Network is also very good.
