\u00a0Just kidding. \u00a0It&#8217;s not beyond me at all. \u00a0It&#8217;s almost entirely to do with making the story enticing. \u00a0Adam&#8217;s behaviour is no better or worse by dint of his family connections; they do nothing except to add a detail to something that would otherwise be merely sordid. \u00a0And if you can offer a whiff of guilt-by-association by drawing a link between a creepy doctor and a prominent member of a government currently deeply unpopular among medics&#8230; well, so much the better, eh?<\/p>\n<p>Now, the <em>BMJ<\/em> is not the only organisation to make this move: Adam Osborne has been in trouble before, and the BBC, for example, <span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/search?q=%22Adam+Osborne%22+psychiatrist&amp;sa_f=search-product&amp;suggid=&amp;filter=news\">has never been reluctant to point out the family link<\/a><\/span>. \u00a0Here&#8217;s the thing, though: <em>I don&#8217;t think that the Beeb should be doing it either<\/em>. \u00a0For sure, the BBC is at the very least a general-interest news provider, whereas the\u00a0<em>BMJ<\/em> could, I think, be expected to concentrate on medicine and medics; yet\u00a0even that partial mitigation of the BBC is so dismally weak that the only reason to articulate it is to provide a space to air doubts about whether it should have been articulated.<\/p>\n<p>The BBC shouldn&#8217;t be doing it; no news organisation should be doing it; the\u00a0<em>BMJ<\/em> shouldn&#8217;t be doing it.<\/p>\n<p>The same principle applies to other\u00a0people with embarrassing siblings, of course. \u00a0Yes, we know that climate-change &#8220;sceptic&#8221; Piers Corbyn is Jeremy&#8217;s brother. \u00a0Unless Jeremy&#8217;s policies on CO2 emissions are influenced by Piers, though, that&#8217;s neither here nor there; and in the event that Piers does something even dafter than predicting that another ice-age will begin in the middle of next week, there&#8217;d almost certainly be no justification for roping in his Jeremy. \u00a0The same rules apply. \u00a0But since that&#8217;s not a medical matter, I&#8217;m not going to moan about it here.<\/p>\n<p>I just want to make it clear that I&#8217;m not holding a torch for George on this. \u00a0I may disagree with him about any number of things, but the conduct of his brother is one thing for which we shouldn&#8217;t throw brickbats at him. \u00a0Leave George alone.<!--TrendMD v2.4.8--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lord only knows, it pains me to jump to George Osborne&#8217;s defence &#8211; more so by resurrecting a meme that was already past it when I was first invited to run this blog in 2008\u00a0&#8211; but on this one occasion, I&#8217;m going to have to do it.
