Yes Keith, I'm also struck by that, though I have no knowledge of the scientific community. I hesitate to say the government has politicised an otherwise an a-political professional strata ( I suspect that probably a myth and they're not). But it has certainly stung them into vocal public support for David Nutt.
It will be interesting to see how far it goes. But in these time, where there is no opposition either within or without parliament, or within New Labour, the actual political repercussion of these events are invisible for some time.
