Support Diabetes UK's "Get Serious" Campaign

This reminds me of "join me". Bloke starts a campaign to get lots of other people to join him without any specific agenda at all. They don't know what they are signing up for but they do it anyway. A Danny Wallace book/stunt I think.

Theres a lot that DUK do that I do not agree with. Their dietary advice for example is abysmal - something I am sure you agree with Wally. So when the next step in their "get serious" campaign is to push their dietary advice more forcefully? Push their "If you get fat, you will get diabetes" nonsense? Are you going to "unsign" their petition?

This is politicians' logic. "Something must be done. This is something, therefore we must do it."

Sometimes doing the wrong thing is far worse than doing nothing. And if you want to support something, then stick to things where you know what it is you're supporting and for an organisation who hold a stance on some issues where you are the polar opposite.
Thanks VBH - I knew that we'd all be able to rely on your support.

Very best wishes as usual - John
