A fine upstanding citizen don't you think?

It's not worth The Guardian risking a lawsuit so I tend to believe it all.

Now that the story has broken, I wonder what his colleagues think about him.

Those doctors and nurses at the coal-face, not much, I suspect.

I bet there are some top dogs and businessmen who wish they'd thought of that. Indeed, it would not surprise me to learn that some of them have already cashed in too. Businessmen I could perhaps understand but medical top dogs would stick in my throat.

There's a lot more I could write but top of my list would be to say that I am proud to report that he's not a member of my family.

Hope the Guardian investigate more & if true lock him up.Always someone trying to make a quick buck but if found to be true it is sick.

Bit involved I would say.

I didn't read it in detail but it looks like what he is doing is more unprofessional than illegal.

Shady?I do believe so.

46180 - Agents specialised in the sale of other particular products

looked at his filing at Companies House and that category of business is a 'catch all'

The registered address is a virtual office, not unusual but if completely above board why not use his distribution address?
