Yes thanks for that Hedda - been in touch with the good Dr this evening (he echoes my thoughts on many issues), and have also introduced him to the work of Moor Larkin. Makes the fight a bit more bearable knowing an academic is on board...

Thanks for posting. I liked:
"The procedure adopted for dealing with sceptics is what you’d find in witchcraft manuals. I spent a lot of time, before writing the book, studying medieval witchcraft manuals. If you look at the guidance that was being given to witchhunters, time and time again they are told that the people they really have to worry about are those who deny the existence of witchcraft."
A wimmin's writer on The Independent called Furedi a "predatory sociologist" when reviewing his book and sort of proved his point.

Lots in w/ends papers about arrests of suspects in Op Yewtree being a witch hunt. Strongly disagree -allegations r made then investigated
He's also won yet another award for his ITV stitch-up, this time some from some wankers in Noo Yoirk
