Chiropractors, happily promoting bogus treatments, drop suit against Simon Singh!
Hot damn!
Simon Singh has won the well-publicized, high-profile and, ironically, "bogus" lawsuit that the British Chiropractic Association filed against him. This is a major victory in the face of Britain's notorious libel laws, which still need to be reformed. This should not for a moment lessen the pressure on British lawmakers to reform libel laws; indeed, it only illustrates how easily baseless cases that are unwinnable on their merits can be used to silence those who dare speak science to woo-woo.
In a statement released on their website, the BCA said...Oh, nothing.
Streisand sucking vomit jackals.

Not much I can add here. Simon took on bad odds and it remains to be seen how much of his 200k pounds spent on defending against this bullshit suit he'll recover. Still, the bleeding is staunched and 1/4 of British chiropractors are under investigation as a result of skeptics filing legitimate reports of woo-practice. It's poor compensation for losing 2 years of your life defending the truth against a pack of financially-interested pre-scientific twats.
I wish Simon the best and hope no-one else has to deal with this sort of legal nonsense when reporting on science.
PS: The BCA sucks sweaty goat balls. No Altoids for you, backcrackers.
