So, lets have the disclosure and frank account of Mellor's contact with CCHR/ Scientology.
Questions for Mellor
1. How long have you been in contact with CCHR Scientology?
2.What is your contact with Breggin and Dr. Sami Timimi. Dr Sami Timimi was the event speaker at CCHR's award ceremony but Mellor will be aware of that?
3. How many psychs and paediatricians [ msbp] have you or CCHR referred to the GMC?
4. How many msbp psychs have been struck off?
5. How many mothers have you recruited to Scientology/CCHR.
Update 29th June 2008
It has been an interesting two days. Mellor has been unable to respond to the questions above.
Motormouth herself seems really lost for words. Mellor's bad language has been addressed by Totally Disgusted who was not impressed.
For two days, Mellor has been unable to be as transparent as she feels doctors should be. So, for the entertainment of the masses who regularly check back, we thought we would update you on a extract that we found this morning. This is Mellor singing Dr Timimi's praises. It might have helped if she could spell "psychiatrist".

Below is an Extract of CCHR's Press Release posted on the msbp board by none other than Penny Mellor. We thought we would archive it in memory of the past actions of CCHR on the msbp board. The press release has Sami Timimi mentioned. He was also the psychiatrist who was speaker at the award ceremony where Penny Mellor was given her CCHR award.
What Sami ought to do is tell the Royal College of Psychiatrists that he is affiliated to an organisation that has commenced war on psychiatry. In addition, I hope he is telling his patients that he is affiliated to such an organisation. Actually, we all think the GMC should know about this. As the GMC visited here last week, we should ask that they take up a referral under the new personal beliefs guidance. Yes, we are of the view that Sami should be investigated by the GMC for his stance in relation to the press release below. The GMC may consider this a formal complaint against him. This is "information received" at the GMC and we expect them to conduct a thorough investigation while disclosing said investigation to his employers. Perhaps the GMC could leave a message here confirming reciept of this complaint.
PRESS RELEASE FROM CCHR as published by Mellor
OVER 1000 CHILDREN IN WEST MIDLANDS FALSELY LABELLED AND DRUGGED BY PSYCHIATRISTS
Added: (Tue Sep 13 2005)
The Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) Birmingham has released figures today collected under the Freedom of Information Act highlighting the psychiatric infiltration into the education system and subsequent damaging of young children?s minds in the West Midlands and Birmingham. Methylphenidate Hydrochloride, more commonly known as Ritalin or Conerta XL, is being falsely presented to parents as a ?treatment? for the spurious Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), despite much condemnation in the medical field as well as official health warnings from recognised institutions such as the United States Food and Drug Administration. Consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist, Dr Sami Timimi, who works full time in the NHS in Lincolnshire, is highly critical of the ADHD diagnosis. He says, "The idea that there is such a thing as a test for ADHD is nonsense. There is no such thing. "Despite the lack of evidence to support the theory that ADHD is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain, and that we as doctors know how to work out which children have that chemical imbalance, despite this just being a theory, it?s entered into popular mythology within the profession and accepted as a truth because it?s the theory that?s needed to justify the prescribing of stimulants." The Birmingham based group has found that over 1100 children in the West Midlands are being prescribed mind altering psychiatric drugs for an alleged condition the existence of which is based solely on opinion, unsupported by any proper scientific evidence. Chris Wrapson spokesperson for the group, stated: ?Psychiatrists are irresponsible. They prescribe mind altering psychotropic drugs in the same classification as cocaine to young children and then claim they have ?cured? an unruly child of his ?condition?. If you were to find a child who is perhaps a little boisterous towards his classmates or has ?ants in his pants?, or sometimes doesn?t pay attention in class, you would say he is merely being a normal healthy energetic child. To say that this constitutes amental illness, and that he has a chemical imbalance of the brain is dishonest. Psychiatry is a pseudoscience, dishing out labels for children based on no scientific evidence, mere opinion, and then giving them mind altering drugs. If a child were given a shot of cocaine, you would probably find them curled up in a ball in the corner, withdrawn, and very quiet, Ritalin is in the same class, and its effects can be devastating?. Local families and education services are affected by the ?expert? opinion of the psychiatrist, often to the detriment of the child himself. Parents of course have only their child?s best interests at heart and may not want to see their child drugged into submission (and worse). However if school denies their child his education unless they consent to this so called ?treatment? they can be pressured into giving their consent albeit unwillingly. The effects are devastating, a once happy adventurous and inquisitive child, can be subverted through the use of mind altering psychotropic drugs and can be found very often, collapsed asleep, fully clothed, sprawled across the landing, in doorways, out like a light. And what of the costs involved with this mass drugging? The average tax payer through his contributions, will be unwittingly financing the 5900 plus items prescribed by local Primary Care Trusts (costing somewhere in the region of £143,000 based on a positive response of only 23% of the trusts contacted who provided this information).
CCHR was established in 1969 by the Church of Scientology and Professor of Psychiatry Emeritus and internationally acclaimed author, Dr Thomas Szasz, when the need for intensive reform of psychiatry became apparent. CCHR has exposed hundreds of unexplained or improper deaths in psychiatric institutions, the psychiatric rape of patients, child deaths from exposure to life threatening stimulants and many other human rights abuses.
Anyone with information on adverse reactions to psychiatric drugs (especially from children), or whose children have been diagnosed with ADHD and are concerned, can contact CCHR?s Abuse Line on 0121-523 8185. All confidence will be protected.

Warning - We advise that CCHR is not contacted by anyone vulnerable. While their views seem sympathetic, we have not had any revalidation of their motives.
Update 30th June 2008
Mellor continues to evade the questions asked of her. Today, she presents the CNEP case issues as a distraction for herself. Motormouth herself remains silent on these issues. Penny Mellor and Brian Daniels though appear separately in newspapers and press releases. They do though work together. We present Brian Daniels and our view of his comments.
On the CCHR website Brian Daniels stated as follows
"Raj Persaud's dishonesty makes a mockery of the title doctor in favour of making a quick buck at other people's expense."Dishonesty within the psychiatric industry is coming to light more and more these days and we hope this will serve to warn the public to question and look for themselves not just at a clinical level but at an academic level too"
So lets see who is judging who. The public should see what kind of organisation is being represented by Mr Brian Daniels. We don't need to say anything about Scientology, we simply have to let the judges tell us what they think of CCHR and Scientology. Pot calling kettle black springs to mind
Justice Anderson, Supreme Court of Victoria, Australia:
"Scientology is evil; its techniques are evil; its practice is a serious threat to the community, medically, morally, and socially; and its adherents are sadly deluded and often mentally ill... (Scientology is) the world's largest organization of unqualified persons engaged in the practice of dangerous techniques which masquerade as mental therapy."
Kenneth Robinson, British Minister of Health:
"The government is satisfied that Scientology is socially harmful. It alienates members of families from each other and attributes squalid and disgraceful motives to all who oppose it; its authoritarian principles and practice are a potential menace to the personality and well being of those so deluded as to become followers; above all, its methods can be a serious danger to the health of those who submit to them... There is no power under existing law to prohibit the practice of Scientology; but the government has concluded that it is so objectionable that it would be right to take all steps within its power to curb its growth."
"The crime committed by these defendants is of a breath and scope previously unheard of. No building, office, desk, or file was safe from their snooping and prying. No individual or organization was free from their despicable conspiratorial minds. The tools of their trade were miniature transmitters, lock picks, secret codes, forged credentials and any other device they found necessary to carry out their conspiratorial schemes."
Justice Latey, ruling in the High Court of London:
"Scientology is both immoral and socially obnoxious...It is corrupt sinister and dangerous. It is corrupt because it is based on lies and deceit and has its real objective money and power for Mr. Hubbard... It is sinister because it indulges in infamous practices both to its adherents who do not toe the line unquestionably and to those who criticize it or oppose it. It is dangerous because it is out to capture people and to indoctrinate and brainwash them so they become the unquestioning captives and tools of the cult, withdrawn from ordinary thought, living, and relationships with others."
"[The court record is] replete with evidence [that Scientology] is nothing in reality but a vast enterprise to extract the maximum amount of money from its adepts by pseudo scientific theories... and to exercise a kind of blackmail against persons who do not wish to continue with their sect.... The organization clearly is schizophrenic and paranoid, and this bizarre combination seems to be a reflection of its founder, L.Ron Hubbard."
Lord Denning:
"...capable of such danger that the public interest demands that people should know what is going on"
"It is an organization with medical, social and ethical practices that are dangerous and harmful," "It claims to act freely so as to draw members who subsequently undergo ... brainwashing by dictated ways of thinking that limit reaction capabilities."
As the audience can see, it has been nearly 5 days since the post RE Scientology has been placed up. No doubt following the visit from their royal highnesses at CCHR USA, Mellor decided to disconnect. Mellor has been talking about her usual rubbish. She though fails to answer the simple questions put to her above. The audience can come to their own conclusions regarding this. Her behaviour though is typical of a Scientologist - thumping away when they don't have a logical defence.
