Subject: Re: [COMMUNITYPSYCHUK] Responding to Lord Layard of Highgate
a letter to the guardian today or tomorrow would be good given they had
a
reasonably uncritical spread on it today. i could do some work on it
tonight if anyone wanted to do it with me. a couple of signatories with
affiliations might be good?
