I strongly suggest you email a copy of this article to the Crown Prosecution Service.

So you in fact did her a huge favour in helping her avoid those poisons.<br /><br />Carry on with this humanitarian work, and government funding will surely be coming your way, as it does to all those who coerce people into adopting 'healthy' lifestyles for their own good.Christopher Snowdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15963753745009712865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-64770018302173723582015-03-21T15:47:35.804+00:002015-03-21T15:47:35.804+00:00So... any crime can be committed without fear of b...So... any crime can be committed without fear of breaking the law, as long as the perp describes it in alternative terms?<br /><br />"I enabled the lady to live without the encumbrance of her purse and helped ensure a positive pecuniary development for myself."Christopher Snowdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15963753745009712865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-57510096316887426812015-03-20T13:29:33.610+00:002015-03-20T13:29:33.610+00:00This should really be taken up with the DoH.
