Niall Dickson : Additional Public Statement From GMC Opposition Leader , Dr Joseph Chikelue Obi . . .

" Further to my Earlier Public Statement concerning the Newly Appointed Chief Executive Officer of the General Medical Council , Niall Dickson ; I wish to make it abundantly clear that the Recent Ejection of Graeme Catto , Finlay Scott and Paul Philip from GMC Office is (most very certainly) not enough to formidably pulverize the Crucible of Corruption at the General Medical Council (GMC).

I therefore patiently await Further Urgent Action within the next 7 Days - or I will have no other option but to unashamedly continue with the Online UK Issuance of (anything up to) a Quarter of a Million (250000) MLC Clinical Licenses ; in Direct Commercial Competition with the GMC. "




*COMPETING INTERESTS: Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi currently serves as Leader of Opposition against the General Medical Council.

Professor Obi has also officially endorsed a Landmark Regulatory Deal with an International Alternative Medicine Organization - which would allow every Qualified Medical Doctor to obtain a 50 Year International Clinical License for less than the cost of one full year of Standard GMC Licensure (plus Registration).


At the time of this announcement , 50 Years of Basic MLC Licensure costs only GBP 299.

General Medical Council Chief Executive Niall Dickson : Statement from The King's Fund of the United Kingdom

PRESS STATEMENT FROM THE KING'S FUND OF THE UNITED KINGDOM

The General Medical Council has announced that it has appointed The King’s Fund’s Chief Executive Niall Dickson as its new chief executive. Niall Dickson will remain at the Fund until the end of the year before formally starting in his new role in January 2010.

Commenting on the appointment, The King’s Fund’s chair Sir Cyril Chantler said: ‘Niall has been a superb asset to the Fund over the past six years. Under his leadership the Fund has raised its profile and strengthened its expertise in shaping policy, transforming services and supporting leaders in the health service. He has brought tremendous passion and dynamism to the organisation and has helped to cement the Fund’s role as the foremost, independent commentator on health care in this country.

‘One of Niall’s most significant legacies will be the strengthening of the Fund’s health care improvement work, which combines expertise in research, policy analysis and leadership to work directly with clinicians and managers to help them drive up standards, deliver better value and bring about lasting improvements in key areas. We have become more than a think tank and that is largely due to Niall’s vision for creating an organisation that is more relevant to those working in health and social care.

‘Niall’s time at the Fund will also be remembered for high profile research that has had a direct impact on policy. In particular, the review of social care funding led by Sir Derek Wanless helped convince policymakers of the need for reforming the social care system and led directly to a Green Paper, while the review Niall commissioned into the safety of maternity services, and the subsequent work now being carried out by the Fund with maternity units, has and will continue to have a real impact on front-line services.

‘And he has also created a tremendous resource for the health and social care community following the major refurbishment of both our building and online resources. The Fund now has a range of facilities and information services that will be of great value to professionals for many years to come.’

Sir Cyril added: ‘Niall leaves behind a strong senior management team that will continue to drive through the Fund’s strategy while his successor is recruited. Niall will be with us until the end of the year and we will be seeking to appoint the right candidate to progress the work of the Fund. We very much look forward to working with Niall at the GMC and wish him every success in his new role.’

GMC Chief Executive Officer Niall Dickson : A Brief Biography

Niall Dickson became Chief Executive of The King’s Fund in January 2004 ; and will take up post as the New CEO of the General Medical Council sometime in Early January 2010.

Since he moved to The King's Fund the organisation has led the debate around long-term conditions, pioneered our understanding of the market and choice in health care and commissioned major inquiries, including Securing Good Care for Older People: Taking a long-term view (2006), a review of social care funding chaired by Sir Derek Wanless that led in 2007 to the government’s announcement of a Green Paper on the future funding of social care in England. The following year The King's Fund published an independent inquiry into the safety of maternity services in England, Safe Births: Everybody's business (2008). The King’s Fund was granted a Royal Charter in 2008 enabling it to modernise its governance arrangements.

In 2008 he chaired a cross-party health commission for the Local Government Association (LGA). He also chaired a working group for the Department of Health on the governance of professional regulation. ( To be precise , he was a member of the Chief Medical Officer’s Advisory Group on the future of the General Medical Council ).

Niall is a member of the Cabinet Office Honours Committee (Health), the NHS National Stakeholder Forum, and the ministerial sounding board on social care. He is a trustee of the Consumers Association (Which?) and of the Leeds Castle Foundation, a patron of the children's charity ERIC (Education and Resources for Improving Childhood Continence) and sits on the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Court of Governors.

He has been awarded honorary fellowships from the University of Cardiff (2006) and the Institute of Education in London (2007) and has been made an honorary Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians (2007) and the Royal College of General Practitioners (2008). He has also been awarded an honorary doctorate from Oxford Brookes University.

Niall was educated at Glasgow Academy, Edinburgh Academy and at Edinburgh University, where he read politics and modern history and, at postgraduate level, education. He taught for two years at a comprehensive school in Edinburgh before joining the policy and research body, the National Corporation for the Care of Old People (now the Centre for Policy on Ageing). From there he went to Age Concern England, first as a Press Officer and later as Head of Publishing.

In 1981 he took over as Editor of Therapy, a weekly newspaper for the allied health professions, and in 1983 was appointed Editor of Nursing Times. During his editorship, the journal doubled its circulation and won a string of awards including, on two occasions, the magazine industry's top accolade 'Business and Professional Periodical of the Year'.

In 1988 Niall moved to the BBC as Health Correspondent and went on to become Chief Social Affairs Correspondent. He became Social Affairs Editor in 1995 where he headed a team of more than 80 journalists covering all aspects of social policy.

At the BBC his day-to-day work was focused on the Ten O'clock News and the Today programme on Radio 4. He has also been responsible for numerous television and radio programmes on health and social issues.

In 1997 he won the Charles Fletcher Medical Broadcaster of the Year Award from the British Medical Association, and in 2002 won a nomination in the Royal Television Society Awards.

He is married, lives in Kent and has three grown-up children.

Professor Joseph Obi Set To Issue Professional Regulatory Statement Concerning New General Medical Council Chief Executive Officer (Niall Dickson) .

We are exceedingly pleased to announce that the Leader of Opposition against the General Medical Council and Chief Regulator of the Medical Licensing Commission (MLC) , Professor Joseph Obi, is imminently scheduled to make a Very Short Public Statement concerning the recent appointment of Niall Dickson as the New Chief Executive of the General Medical Council.

Further Information will be appropriately released within the next few hours or so.

Dr Joseph Obi ousts Racist GMC Acting CEO Paul Philip : *GMC Deputy CEO Paul Philip woefully fails to succeed Corrupt (& Sacked) GMC CEO Finlay Scott.

Dear GMC-Registered Doctors ,


I am exceedingly pleased to publicly announce that the Shamelessly Racist (and Morbidly Corrupt) Mr Paul Philip has sensationally failed in his desperate bid to become the Next Chief Executive of the General Medical Council.

Despite Euphorically Parading Himself as the Annointed Successor of Sacked GMC CEO Finlay Scott , the Obliviously Incompetent Mr Philip was no match (whatsoever) for our Massive Global Political Machine ; and we are extremely happy to duly confirm that a Fresh New Broom is soon set to take over (as GMC CEO) with effect from January 2010.


In the Interim , the GMC Abolition Campaign has (since) activated the 2nd Phase of it's Regulatory Supervision Programme - which will formidably continue right up to 12 Midnight on the 31st of December 2009.

The 3rd Phase of our Reglatory Supervision Programme will officially commence in Early January 2010.


Further Intricate Details will be comprehensively released in due course ; as I formally understand that the Massive Shame of Political Defeat is proving far too much for (Failed Barrister) Paul Philip to psychologically bear . . . and that he will be (very) swiftly leaving the General Medical Council ; most probably to gratefully take up a Lower Profile Job as an Interim Regulatory CEO elsewhere.


Yours Sincerely ,

The Rt Hon Dr Joseph Obi FRCAM(Dublin)
Leader of Opposition against the General Medical Council (GMC) .

GMC Chief Executive : £190,000 + Benefits : Candidate Brief

Job Title : General Medical Council Chief Executive

Candidate Brief :


Brief for the position of
Chief Executive, General Medical Council
May 2009




About the GMC


The purpose of the General Medical Council (GMC) is to protect, promote and maintain the health and safety of the public by ensuring proper standards in the practice of medicine.

The law gives the GMC four main functions under the Medical Act 1983:
 keeping up-to-date registers of qualified doctors
 fostering good medical practice
 promoting high standards of medical education
 dealing firmly and fairly with doctors whose fitness to practise is in doubt.


The GMC ensures proper standards in the practice of medicine by controlling entry to the medical register and setting the educational standards for medical schools. It also determines the principles and values that underpin good medical practice and has the power to take action where those standards have not been met.

The GMC has strong and effective legal powers designed to maintain the standards the public have a right to expect of doctors. The GMC has the power to act to protect patients from harm where any doctor fails to meet those standards, if necessary by removing the doctor from the register and removing their right to practise medicine.

The GMC is a regulator independent of government (as the dominant provider of healthcare in the UK); independent of domination by any single group; and is publicly accountable for the discharge of its functions. It is a registered charity in England and Wales and in Scotland.

The GMC’s governing body is a Council newly appointed in January 2009. The Council is chaired by Professor Peter Rubin who took up post in April. The Council now comprises 24 members of whom 12 are doctors and 12 are lay members. Members are reflective of the following four key interest groups: patients and the public; doctors; the NHS and other healthcare providers; and medical schools and medical Royal Colleges. (For further details on the Council and its subcommittees please see Appendix 1.)

The GMC operates from offices in London and Manchester and, reflecting devolved government across the UK, has established offices in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to respond effectively to devolution and contribute to ensuring regulation remains appropriate in each of the four countries.

The total staff number is over 550 across all five offices and the total annual operating budget is £85 million. (For an organisational chart with details of the GMC executive structure please see Appendix 2.)


The work of the GMC

Registration and Revalidation
Registration is a key part of the GMC’s work. Doctors must be registered with the General Medical Council to practise medicine in the UK and over 40 doctors are registered everyday with the GMC. The GMC's duty is to protect the public interest by keeping up-to-date registers of qualified doctors, with the aim of ensuring that all registered doctors maintain the standards the public and the medical profession expect.

The GMC has also been working with others to develop proposals for the revalidation of doctors, the process by which doctors will, in future, demonstrate on a regular basis that they remain up to date and fit to practise.
Revalidation has three aims:

 To confirm that licensed doctors’ practise in accordance with the GMC’s generic standards.
 To confirm that doctors on the GMC’s specialist register or GP register continue to meet the standards appropriate for their specialty.
 As a backstop to identify for further investigation, and remediation where appropriate, doctors whose practise is impaired or may be impaired.

The first milestone towards implementing revalidation will come in the autumn of 2009 when the GMC will introduce licences to practise. All doctors will be required by law to hold a licence if they wish to exercise the privileges currently reserved for registered medical practitioners (such as prescribing medication and signing death certificates).

The plans for implementing licensing and, in due course, revalidation are well underway and rigorous and extensive piloting of the new arrangements is now beginning across different practice settings across the four countries of the UK to ensure that the proposals are efficient, effective and fit for purpose. The GMC is also working very closely with the medical profession, the Royal Colleges, employers and patients.

Dealing with complaints

The GMC has the power to issue a warning to a doctor, remove the doctor from the register, or suspend or place conditions on a doctor's registration.

The GMC deals with complaints by investigating cases to assess whether they need to refer them for adjudication. The GMC investigates around 1,200 cases each year.
Adjudication consists of hearing those cases that have been referred to a Fitness to Practise (FTP) panel. The Fitness to Practise Panel hears evidence and decides whether a doctor’s fitness to practise is impaired. Fitness to Practise Panel hearings are the final stage of the procedures following a complaint about a doctor.


Education

The GMC has a statutory role to promote high standards and co-ordinate all aspects of medical education. It does this through setting the standards and outcomes for basic medical education in the United Kingdom including both undergraduate and post-graduate medical education.

The GMC works with UK medical schools that issue UK primary medical degrees to set standards for the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviours that medical students should learn.

In 2008 the Secretary of State for Health announced that the Post Medical Education Training Board (PMETB) would merge with the GMC, following a recommendation from Sir John's Tooke's independent inquiry into Modernising Medical Careers. The merger aims to build on the strengths of both bodies, while securing gains from the single oversight of all stages of medical education and training. The formal transfer of functions is expected to take place in April 2010.

The GMC is also responsible for promoting high professional standards so that doctors can keep up to date; this includes continuing professional development guidance. The guidance sets out the principles on which continuing professional development should be based, and the roles of the relevant organisations involved in its delivery and quality assurance. This will be one of the criteria for the NHS appraisals and revalidation with the GMC.

Ethics

The GMC also has a statutory role to provide guidance to doctors on medical ethics. The GMC produces documents on core guidance on which good practice is founded and also guidance on how to comply with the principles.
For further information about the GMC please see: www.gmc-uk.org


The role of Chief Executive

Working with a new Council and Chair; the Chief Executive will lead the GMC as it delivers significant and fundamental change to medical regulation. The introduction of licensing and revalidation will underpin far reaching changes to medical regulation in the UK and be central to the GMC’s strategic plans.

Alongside revalidation the post-holder will lead the GMC in meeting its strategic aims in its key functions: education, standards, ethics, fitness to practise and registration. In doing this the Chief Executive will play a pivotal role in shaping and communicating the GMC’s vision while engaging successfully with all key interest groups – patients, the profession, government, employers and educators.

The Chief Executive, whilst working closely with the Chair, leads the executive in delivering the GMC’s statutory duties to protect, promote and maintain the health and safety of the public by ensuring proper standards in the practice of medicine.
The Chief Executive’s remit is to deliver a regulatory system that is independent, fair, efficient and effective, and that contributes clearly and visibly to raising standards and enhanced patient safety. It is also crucial that the Chief Executive implements and develops a strategic vision of how these systems will develop and change to meet future requirements.

The Chief Executive is accountable to Council and is also the Registrar of the GMC, fulfilling a statutory duty to maintain the accuracy of the medical register.
The Chief Executive is also accountable for delivering a wide range of complex services to the highest of standards. Central to the role is the personal accountability for delivering and reporting on both the GMC’s annual business plans as well as the organisation’s strategy.

GMC : Paul Philip named in Metropolitan Police Bribery Scandal ! General Medical Council Standards (and FTP) Boss faces Independent Corruption Probe !

We have just received word that the Deputy Chief Executive of the General Medical Council and current GMC Director of Standards and Fitness To Practice (FTP) , Mr Paul Philip , is set to be mentioned in an ongoing Regulatory Inquiry into the alleged bribery of a Serving Metropolitan Police Force Officer.

Further astonishing details are due to be released imminently . . .

Paul Philip : GMC Crucible of Corruption : Dramatis Personae

* Mr Finlay Scott : Failed Solicitor and SACKED Racist GMC Registrar / GMC Chief Executive Officer. ( Supremely Responsible for Overseeing the Bribing of Corrupt Judges via Lavish GMC Contracts routed via their Private Chambers . He was also Chiefly Responsible for continuously increasing the UK's Annual Doctors Registration Fee by Outrageously Alarming Amounts ; to duly ensure that there was always enough 'Red Hot Cash' within the GMC's Judicial Bribery Kitty )

* Mr Paul Philip : Failed Barrister and Racist GMC FTP Director / Deputy GMC Chief Executive Officer. ( Responsible for Incompetently Generating Thousands of GMC FTP Cases to fuel the Bribery of Corrupt Judges via Lavish Contracts routed via their Private Chambers . He Morbidly Craves for Massive Media Publicity , Obtuse Tabloid Headlines and Monumental Political Recognition ; most probably to subconsciously compensate for his Fundamental Lack of Formidable Innate Character and Obliviously Deficient 'Self-Esteem'. That being said , from what we independently understand , he does quite fabulously seem to be an Exceedingly Great ARSE-LICKER . . . Most Especially when strategically placed on his back - in the Right Regulatory Position ! )

* Mr Anthony Omo : Failed Solicitor and Outrageously Greedy GMC Principal Legal Adviser. ( Responsible for shamelessly ensuring that Corrupt Judges are kept Fully Satisfied whenever any GMC Cases come up involving their Private Chambers and Relatives . He would delightfully sell his very own 'Superior Vena Cava' to the GMC ; if ever the Offered Price was gleefully deemed to be high enough ).

Paul Philip : General Medical Council (GMC) : Crucible Of Corruption : Official Clarification From GMC Opposition Leader Joseph Chikelue Obi

This is to comprehensively clarify that (the current) GMC Deputy Chief Executive Mr Paul Philip is not covered by the Temporary Cessation of GMC Hostilities - which was recently awarded to the New GMC Chairman , Professor Peter Rubin.

To this effect , I shall adamantly proceed with my ongoing revelations relating to the General Medical Council's Crucible of Corruption ; with specific reference to the following Failed Lawyers who have Shamelessly Infiltrated and Permanently Wrecked the UK Medical Regulatory System : Finlay Scott, Paul Philip and Anthony Omo.

The Time is ripe for these Obliviously Corrupt Lawyers to be angrily kicked out of the UK Medical Regulatory System - and there is no better moment than the present.

We have already succeeded in getting rid of Finlay Scott ; but there is still a lot more work to be done - to fundamentally ensure that Finlay's Favourite Arse-Licker (Paul Philip) does not swiftly take over from him.

Thank You.

Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi FRCAM(Dublin)
Leader of Opposition against the General Medical Council (GMC).

General Medical Council : Paul Philip and the Crucible of Corruption | GMC appoints Paul Philip as it's Chief Custodian of Filthy Little Secrets . . .

Leader of Opposition against the General Medical Council and Chief Regulator of the Medical Licensing Commission (MLC) , Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi, has sensationally accused the SACKED Chief Executive of the General Medical Council (Mr Finlay Scott) of secretly handing over the GMC's Crucible of Corruption to his chosen successor , Failed Barrister Paul Philip .

At the time of this exceedingly sketchy online report ; it was widely being speculated that the General Medical Council was expensively organizing a Sham Recruitment Drive for a Brand New Chief Executive ; even when almost everyone comprehensively knows that Paul Philip has already been firmly assured of ultimately getting the Top GMC Job.

Further outrageous details are intrepidly coming soon . . .

Professor Joseph Obi : " Paul Philip is not fit for GMC Office."

The Undisputed Political Leader of Opposition against the General Medical Council and Chief Regulator of the Medical Licensing Commission (MLC) , Professor Joseph Obi, has boldly called for an Independent External Replacement for the currently vacant post of Chief Executive of the General Medical Council (GMC) .

Speaking during a Short Interview , Dr Joseph Chikelue Obi said :

" Woe Betide the General Medical Council if it shamelessly installs Paul Philip as it's New Registrar and Chief Executive Officer ; rather than honestly appointing a Fresh New Boss from outside the GMC altogether.

Mr Paul Philip has been a Fundamentally Instrumental Link in the Rabid Chain of Institutional Racism and Morbid Corruption ; which has frequently almost brought the General Medical Council to the horrific brink of Self-Destruction.

In my personal opinion , Paul Philip is not qualified to be the Chief Executive Officer (or Registrar) of the General Medical Council.

Infact , (to put it very very bluntly indeed) , Mister Philip is not even qualified enough to impartially handle (or administer) the current GMC FTP Directorship Post which he has been incompetently (and consistently) making a Purulent Regulatory Mess of ; to date . . ."

Joseph Obi is 'Still Not Interested' in succeeding the 'Recently Sacked' General Medical Council Registrar , Mr Finlay Scott . . .

It is (comprehensively) re-confirmed that the General Medical Council Opposition Leader , Dr Joseph Obi , is Still Not Interested in applying for the Vacant Job of SACKED GMC Chief Executive , Mr Finlay Scott CBE.

Doctor Joseph Obi would (once again) like to Politely , Profusely and Publicly Express his Most Sincere Gratitude to all of those who are unflinchingly (and persistently) urging him to put himself forward for the Post.

As previously advised ; an exceedingly detailed Press Statement from Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi is scheduled to follow , within the coming weeks ahead.

Dr Joseph Obi attacks Cowardly UK Doctors | Joseph Chikelue Obi claims that there are 5000 Other UK Doctors who are Duly Qualified for GMC Top Jobs.

Leader of Opposition against the General Medical Council and Chief Regulator of the Medical Licensing Commission (MLC) , Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi, has indirectly called upon UK Public Health Doctors to urgently apply en masse for the currently vacant post of Chief Executive of the General Medical Council (GMC) .

Speaking during a (very brief) Satellite Phone Coversation ,a totally flabberghasted Dr Joseph Chikelue Obi vapidly hissed :

" I find it exceedingly lamentable that very many hundreds of Medical Doctors within the United Kingdom have spent the past one week emailing me (Joseph Chikelue Obi) to officially put myself forward for the Top GMC Job ; especially when there are over 5000 (five thousand) other UK Doctors with Numerous Postgraduate Degrees in Public Health , Management , Organizational Psychology , Law and Business Administration who could equally put themselves forward for Very (Very) Senior GMC Directorship Positions - but have (so far) cowardly chosen not to formidably do so. "

Dr Joseph Chikelue Obi : Employment Tribunal Jurisdiction moves to Northern Ireland after GMC wastes US$1,000,000 bribing Corrupt London Judges . . .

It is revealed that the RECENTLY SACKED General Medical Council CEO, Mr Finlay Scott has alarmingly wasted the equivalent of almost One Million American Dollars of UK Doctors (Hard-Earned) Funds - in a Totally Unprecedented Avalanche of Covert (and Overt) Operations which was specifically aimed at woefully attempting to lousily wreck the Financial (and Professional) Livelihood of General Medical Council Opposition Leader , Dr Joseph Chikelue Obi.


At the Time of this Exceedingly Scandalous Online Report , Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi had maverickly been granted Full Judicial Permission to comprehensively proceed with his (Multi-Million Dollar) GMC Compensation Claims at 2 Separate Tribunals in the highly unique Jurisdiction of Northern Ireland - where the GMC recently opened a Posh New Belfast Office (thus distinctively bringing the General Medical Council directly under Northern Irish Law).


The outrageously shocking switch was sensationally made (via Default) after Professor Obi reportedly stuck 5 Fat Fingers up the Gaping Judicial Arses of 7 Allegedly Corrupt Judges in London ; and dramatically hopped onto the Very Next Chartered Flight to Belfast.


In the Interim , Top Legal Experts have conservatively estimated that the Ultimate GMC Cost in relation to Dr Joseph Chikelue Obi is provisionally projected to easily surpass the US$10,000,000 (Ten Million Dollar) Mark ; with No Forseeable End (and No Feasible Prospect of Recovery) in sight.


Further intimate details are deliciously coming soon.

The Rt Hon Laird Obi of Kincavel


Breaking News : : : : : It has just been announced that General Medical Council (GMC) Opposition Leader Dr Joseph Obi has now been officially confirmed as the First-Ever Black British Rebel Doctor to be formally elevated to the Hereditary Scottish Gentry.

Professor Obi is to henceforth be formally styled as : The Rt Hon Laird Obi of Kincavel

Dr Joseph Obi (sensationally) ejects GMC President Sir Graeme Robertson Dawson Catto from Office. Professor Graeme Catto weeps as GMC fires him early!

Outgoing GMC President Graeme Robertson Dawson Catto is allegedly said to have shed bitter tears last week - when he was firmly informed that the newly-appointed Members of the Governing Board of the General Medical Council unanimously wanted him to conspicuously disappear from the Medical Regulatory Scene on the 20th of April 2009 ; well over 2 months ahead of his earlier proposed Leaving Date.

At the time of this exceedingly sketchy online report , an Ongoing Serious Homicide Investigation , expediently triggered via a Formal Police Complaint which was boldly made by the Intrepid GMC Opposition Leader Dr Joseph Obi , was said to have been the main driving force behind Professor Catto's Early Political Exit.

In the interim , the exceedingly delighted Professor Obi is now said to have privately backed Professor Peter Rubin as the next GMC Chairman.


Stay Tuned : Further juicy details are sensationally coming soon . . .

Dr Joseph Obi refuses to condemn Sex Video Scandal UK Cabinet Secretary Jacqui Smith | Could her Husband be Shielding Her ?

General Medical Council Opposition Leader , Professor Joseph Obi , will not be making any public statement on the Lurid Pornography Scandal which has precariously engulfed Top UK Cabinet Home Affairs Secretary , Jacqui Smith . . . as it is Professor Obi's exceedingly candid opinion that the Exclusive BBC Video Footage (above) clearly speaks for itself.

Dr Joseph Obi defends Madonna - Wants her to adopt 500 kids !

General Medical Council Opposition Leader , Professor Joseph Obi , has publicly defended Musical Megastar Madonna over her recent Trials and Tribulations ; in relation to the adoption of yet another African Baby from Malawi.

Speaking in rapid response to countless questions posed during a recent Social Event, the Outrageously Controversial Dr. Obi unflinchingly retorted :

" In my person (and professional) opinion , I very candidly feel that Madonna seems to be doing an Absolutely Fabulous Job as a Totally Wonderful Mother-of-the-Earth.

It is not within our Due Humanitarian Remit to bitterly dictate to her how she happily chooses to live her Life - or charitably distribute her (hard-earned) money.

If Madonna candidly wishes to selflessly spend all of her Many Billions (of Dollars) on Five Hundred Adopted African Babies , then it is certainly Nobody's Business (whatsoever) ; provided that everything is handled both Lawfully and Lovingly.

So - For Heaven's Sake : Please (Please , Please) kindly Leave Madonna and her Lovely Multiracial Family alone ! "

Dr Joseph Chikelue Obi | Speedos-gate | Parliamentary Inquiry (3)

Updated Confidential Memo (cont'd) to the Rt Hon. Michael Martin PC MP ; Speaker, House of Commons , Westminster , London.


Dear Rt Hon Speaker ,

Thank you very much for the 3 SMS Mobile Phone Text Messages which were consecutively sent out to me over the past 5 hours , or so.

The first one flew in at 9.32 am , politely informing me that : The VIP Speedosgate Press Conference might be rescheduled .

The second one arrived at 10.49 am , strongly advising me that : The VIP Speedogate Press Conference is (very, very,very) likely to be postponed.

The third one descended at 11.14 am , diplomatically proclaiming : The VIP Speedoesgate Press Conference has now been totally cancelled altogether . Kindly check your email box for further details.

Although the term Speedos-gate was incorrectly spelt throughout the whole (immensely disappointing) SMS avalanche ; I shall warmly assume that we are talking about the very same subject , and swiftly proceed directly to the exceedingly surprising contents of your rather extensive email message.

According to your rather Educational Correspondence , both Lord Mandelson and Mr Hague have (since) now publicly hugged, kissed and made up (in full view of the Downing Street Cabinet Press Corps).

You also happily state that a Parliamentary Inquiry into this matter will not be in the Public's Financial Interest ; most especially at a time of Serious Economic Depression.

You additionally (and fundamentally) aver that there is therefore No Further Need (whatsoever) for a Speedos-gate Inquiry , as there is currently No Speedos-gate Scandal to investigate ; since William and Peter have now joyfully skipped off (hand-in-hand , like naughty little school boys) . . . way into the Sunset . . . seemingly without a single political care in the world.

Furthermore , I would like to put it on due record that I unflappably remain exceedingly grateful to be made privy to the Highly Classified Information which you (most graciously) provided in the form of a Joint Statement from Lord Mandelson and Mr Hague - which judiciously seems to gravely throw a massive veil of doubt upon the Foundational Legitimacy of whole Speedos-gate Scandal itself.

According to the Joint Statement (which was duly signed by both William and Peter) , Lord Mandelson has never ever (ever, ever) even worn Speedos in his life - in the very first place.

And neither has the Rt Hon Lord amorously (or otherwise) pranced around any Gay Brazilian Beaches either.


But (by far) the most shocking aspect of the whole Intimate Communique altogether , seemed to come when it categorically stated that Peter has actually always been a lifelong fan of a much more Controversial Male Underwear Chain . . . which unashamedly goes by the exceptionally alarming name of AussieBum !

Enough Said.

This whole Quagmire is getting far too dizzying for me to handle ; especially at my very old age indeed.

AussieBum , did they say ? Or are my human senses mischievously deceiving me ? Heaven help us if it be True !

They even went as far as sending me a photograph of one of the utterly outrageous AussieBum Adverts which have rapidly begun to appear at Bus-Stops throughout the United Kingdom - as if to firmly justify such an utterly provocative choice of Lurid Apparel.

Surely such Public Adverts of a Naked Man's Full Gluteus should be urgently banned from public view ; without much ado ?

Good Old Mary Whitehouse is probably angrily turning in her grave right now (as we speak).

Whatever happened to Decorum , Decency and Discipline ? Has the whole wide world gone Barking Mad , or Something ?

In any case, you are probably right. This Speedos-gate Inquiry will never ever seriously get off the ground , at this rate .

Especially not with all of these Obliviously Shameless AussieBum Adverts all over the place.

You are right : I cannot but therefore very much concur with your noble preliminary assessment that it is evidently wiser to peacefully let Sleeping Dogs lie - at least till long after the next few General Parliamentary Elections.

As it is totally obvious that AussieBum now seems to be the main culprit here , I candidly think that it would rightfully be fair enough to publicly announce to the Whole Wide World that Speedos Incorporated is hereby fully cleared and unconditionally acquitted of all implied (or assumed) involvement in this seriously worrying matter.


This Case is now permanently closed.


*NB : Please remember to completely anonymize the totality of this correspondence and officially file everything under the Top-Secret Heading of Speedos-gate - as I would not want anyone to publicly associate the highly unblemished name of either Joseph Obi or Joseph Chikelue Obi with this Immensely Scandalous Affair.


*By The Way . . . Happy April Fools Day : Hopefully , I won't have to painfully go through all this Unspeakably Lascivious Torture again - at least until the very same time next year.



Yours Faithfully,

Dear Rt Hon Speaker Martin ,

Thank You (so very much) for your amazingly swift reply to my Top-Secret Confidential Memo ; together with it's very detailed comments - especially those relating to the Extreme Political Sensitivity of this matter.

I warmly note the absolutely wonderful fact that you have already had expedient phone contact with both Lord Mandelson and Mr Hague ; since we last corresponded at Dawn.

It is also highly laudable that both Rt Honourable Gentlemen have firmly agreed in principle to publicly meet with both me and the Tabloid Press at 11.55am This Morning , to publicly clarify any outstanding issues in relation to the Speedos-gate Scandal.

For completeness, I am sending you a tiny little photograph of what Speedos actually look like : You should therefore agree that my unrepentant usage of the term Lascivious was certainly not very far off the mark (indeed).

I am also duly attaching an updated Official Photograph of Lord Mandelson for your records ; together with a duplicate copy of the Video Footage which clearly shows William Hague voraciously attacking our hard-working UK Cabinet Business Secretary.

As previously requested , you must fully anonymize the totality of this correspondence and officially file everything under the Top-Secret Heading of Speedos-gate - as I would not want anyone to publicly associate the highly unblemished name of either Joseph Obi or Joseph Chikelue Obi with this Monstrously Insipid Affair.

Mandelson in Speedos? William Hague's latest joke

Confidential Memo to the Rt Honourable Michael Martin MP ; Speaker, House of Commons , Westminster , London.


Dear Sir,

I am writing to you as an Ardent Facebook Fan of the Rt Honourable Lord Peter Mandelson (also affectionately known to Very Handsome Brazilians as 'Mandy').

My attention has been recently drawn to Outrageously Obtuse Statements which were shamelessly made on the Hallowed Floor of Parliament by the Rt Hon Shadow Foreign Secretary William Hague.

You may recall that Mr Hague openly accused Lord Mandelson of Rabidly Unleashing his massive trunk of Speedos (a very trendy kind of Lascivious Male Underwear) and their contents thereof onto a (Gay) Latin American Beach (Possibly Brazilian) . . . while Britain was being viciously pounded by a Horrific Economic Recession.

It now (sadly) appears that such Stereotypical Insinuations and Wacky Comments seem to have been made in exceptionally bad taste - So I would urgently ask that you order an Immediate Parliamentary Investigation into this matter , without any further delay.

You may also wish to fully anonymize this correspondence and officially file this particular complaint under the totally confidential heading of Speedos-gate - as I would not want anyone to publicly associate the highly unblemished name of either Joseph Obi or Joseph Chikelue Obi with this Utterly Scandalous Matter.

I am rushing off to a very important Regulatory Meeting now - but will definitely try to check my eMail Messages Box again , in thereabouts an hour or so.

Do not hesitate to (discreetly) contact me ; if ever I can be of any further assistance.

Joseph Chikelue Obi | April Fools Day Statements 2009 | Disclaimer

It is announced that the Leader of Opposition against the General Medical Council , Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi, is scheduled to make 3 Highly Outrageous April Fools Day Statements for the year 2009 ; any moment from now , on this particular blog.

Please comprehensively note that none of the April Fools Day Statements have not been inappropriately embellished.

You have been duly warned.

Dr Obi condemns Journalists for disseminating 'Madonna - Jesus' Incest Jokes. | *Hot Photos of Madonna and Jesus Luz dangerously ignite the Internet !

The Undisputed Leader of Opposition against the General Medical Council and Chief Regulator of the Medical Licensing Commission (MLC) , Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi, has publicly lashed out at the Media Establishment for wrongly portraying the Hot Sexual Relationship between Musical Megastar Madonna and Brazilian Supermodel Jesus Luz as a Satanic and Incestuous One.


Speaking in response to questions posed during a Weekend Party at a Top European Restaurant ; Dr Obi sadly hissed :

" To each one , one's very own Amorous Inclination . . .

Age should never (ever , ever) be deemed to be a barrier to Love.

The fact that Madonna is far much older than both of the Guy's (Jesus Luz's) Parents should not really be an issue at this particular point in time ; most especially when it obviously seems that both of them seem to be taking a Highly Reflective Break.

Tabloid Journalists have absolutely no right to go around harassing them like this - and neither should any of their (Headline-Hungry) News Barons ruthlessly drag the Real Sacred Christian Religious Icons (like God the Son , Jesus and His Most Holy Virgin Mother , The Madonna) into it either.

It is those Outrageously Greedy Barons who really ought to be thoroughly ashamed of themselves ; for having the Absolutely Insipid Taste to Brazenly Publish such Obliviously Blasphemous and Morbidly Incestuous Insinuations."

- The totally embarrassed Senior Northumbria Police Officer who carefully verified all of Professor Joseph Obi 's Qualifications and gave him a clean bill of health , after a (Headline Hungry) Racist Newspaper Journalist (with very strong links to the UK Most Racist Political Party) conned him (and many others) into thinking that Dr Joseph Chikelue Obi was an UberQuack.

Reacting Swiftly to the development , Leader of Opposition against the General Medical Council , Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi ,(who also incidentally happens to be one of her Staunch Facebook Supporters), affectionately quipped :

" The (one and only) Grand Old Matriarch of Africa is thankfully now back in full flow.

Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi | "Why I Still Defend Dr Robert Mugabe" | A Public Response To Lady Valerie Amos ( The Rt Hon Baroness Brondesbury )

FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION AND SYNDICATION : DIRECT FROM THE INTERNATIONAL PRESS OFFICE OF PROFESSOR JOSEPH CHIKELUE OBI (GENERAL MEDICAL COUNCIL OPPOSITION LEADER)

Further to utterly outrageous (Mugabe-Related) allegations which are being maliciously peddled about me by the camp of Baroness Valerie Ann Amos (of Brondesbury) , I wish to make it abundantly clear that the current Government of Zimbabwe (as presently constituted) still has my Unflinching Political Support.

I would also like to publicly remind Miss Amos that it was My Very Own Unique Diplomatic Solution to the Zimbabwe Quagmire which was subsequently adopted at so many International Summits on the issue ; despite the fact that Madam Amos was (at the very same time) Cat-Walking around in Killer High-Heeled Shoes and Absolutely Fabulous Designer-Label Outfits (at Considerable UK Taxpayers Expense) . . . with a Massive Commonwealth Entourage in Tow . . . Which (I must very humbly add) was notably doing virtually nothing (at all) to holistically (or adequately) resolve the (then) Zimbabwean Apocalypse.

Finally, I would want to comprehensively advise UK Foreign Secretary David Miliband that my current findings consistently reveal that he really has (more than) a lot to quietly learn in the World of Global Politics . . . So it would be exceeding wise of him to eclectically distance himself from such a Bottomless Diplomatic Liability like Valerie Ann Amos - if ever he ultimately wishes to expediently achieve his Secret Ambition of suavely becoming a Future Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

SIGNED : PROFESSOR JOSEPH CHIKELUE OBI FRCAM(DUBLIN)

END OF PRESS STATEMENT

"Let Them Eat Cake . . ."

Baroness Amos of Brondesbury , Valerie Ann Amos , was mainly appointed on Race Grounds (Not Talent or Brains) - Claims Ex UK DFID Boss Clare Short MP

The Rt Hon Clare Short MP, a Former Top UK Elected Labour Cabinet Minister in charge of the DFID, recently claimed that the British Government used to choose the Unelected General Medical Council (GMC) Chief Racism Harlot Valerie Ann Amos to attend certain Summits (and hold particular Appointments) simply because she was Black and Pretty.

Miss Short’s Unedited (Private & Public) Transcripts relating to BBC Radio 4's The World at One essentially went (and bluntly implied) as follows :

" . . . I'm afraid that there really isn't any other explanation for it . . .

. . . I don't see any reason to send a kind of Pseudo Minister (like Miss Amos) all over the place at the UK Taxpayers Expense - and I strongly think that it's not right to send her on certain errands simply because she's Black (or looks Pretty) – as is what sadly seems to be going on now . . .

. . . Frankly (Talentwise), I personally don't see any good (or other) reason for sending her anywhere . . ."

Rt Hon Baroness Valerie Ann Amos (GMC Whore-in-Chief) : Top UK Ambassador Accuses Her Of Diverting Taxpayer Millions To Her Private Overseas Companies

A Top UK Ambassador has publicly accused (General Medical Council Whore-in-Chief) Valerie Amos of diverting almost £20million of UK Taxpayers (DFID) Funds into the Various Bank Accounts of Selected Overseas Private Companies where she currently has Lucrative Directorship Deals and Vested Commercial Interests.

Writing in his book The Catholic Orangemen of Togo, Britain’s Former Ambassador to Uzbekistan, Craig Murray, claims to have reliably informed by a Director of one of the Overseas Companies that the company “had exceedingly easy administrative access to UK Taxpayers (DFID) Funds simply because Baroness Valerie Ann Amos was a Nominal Director.”

It is an outrageously significant feature of the Failed Political Career of Madam Amos that every single office which she has ever held has been an unelected appointment : Miss Valerie Ann Amos has never ever actually been elected to any public office in any National Jurisdiction whatsoever.

Yet the exceptionally greedy Miss Amos continues to shamelessly parade herself as some sort of African Heroine – when it is exceeding obvious that her Real Major Talents seem more to consistently relate to what she can effectively do with her Regal Set of Suggestively Gaping Orifices.

A Wide Open Dose of Her Trademark Seductive Diplomacy :
Baroness Valerie Ann Amos - in Full Political Swing . . .

Valerie Ann Amos, Baroness Amos : The Chief GMC Whore Returns

Valerie Amos : Return of the Political Fellatio Queen ?

It is reported that the General Medical Council (GMC) has cheekily added yet another Greedy Ethnic Minority Disgrace to it's Payroll . . . in the Utterly Nauseating Persona of Failed UK Politician Valerie Amos.

Her current remit is to ultimately (and gracefully) collect Hundred of Thousands of pounds of Lavish Consultancy Fees ; in a desperate bid to absolve the GMC of it's Institutionally Racist Image.

It will be duly recalled that Valerie Ann Amos was Lord President of the Privy Council at the time when the GMC was voraciously slaughtering the careers of thousands of Poor Ethnic Minority Doctors in the United Kingdom - where she was notoriously famous for never even blinking a Wink . . . except (of course) when the Price was Right (and the Mood was Hot !).

Little Wonder that UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown summarily ejected her from Government as soon as he had the very first chance to do so.

Thankfully , nobody else (out there) Waywardly Wanted Her either.

Until Now . . .

Further Raunchy Details concerning the Morbidly Corrupt Baroness Amos are deliciously coming soon !

Professor Joseph Obi : "Lay GMC Chairman is inevitable . . ."

Graeme Catto : * Racist , Manslaughterer , Fraudster , Crook . . . ?

The Undisputed Leader of Opposition against the General Medical Council and Chief Regulator of the Medical Licensing Commission (MLC) , Professor Joseph Obi, has sensationally predicted the ultimate emergence of a Non-Medical (Lay) Chairman for the General Medical Council (GMC) .

Speaking (amidst tight personal security) , in due response to multiple questions posed upon his arrival in London (after a well-deserved Extended Holiday Abroad) ; the youthfully-looking, Professor Obi effortlessly quipped :


"Graeme Robertson Dawson Catto has selfishly sold the Medical Profession down the river - in a desperate bid to escape criminal prosecution for the countless deaths of NHS Medical Patients which have been formidably linked to him.

In effect , almost every single day of Catto's GMC Presidency has been relatively ineffectual , as most of the Top (Non-Medical) GMC Staff have essentially been opportunistically ordering him to shut up and sit pretty ; while they ruthlessly bastardized Statutory Medical Regulation for all it was ever worth.

The bottomline is pure and simple : A Lay (Non-Medical) Chairman of the GMC is almost inevitable . . . It is only just a matter of time . "

Graeme Catto : * Racist , Manslaughterer , Fraudster , Crook . . . ?

" General Medical Council does not regulate Medicine " , roars CNHC Nurse Boss Maggie Dunne . . . " The GMC can only regulate it's Registrants . "

General Medical Council (GMC) Quote of the Week : What the Regulators say !

The General Medical Council does not regulate everything about Psychiatry - It only regulates GMC-Registered Orthodox (Conventional) Psychiatrists. "

Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi ¦ GMC Opposition Leader ¦ Christmas Message 2008 ¦ Abolish the General Medical Council

" Christmas is one of the most important times of the year.

For many of us , it is an absolutely perfect time to comprehensively reflect upon whatever the Christian Faith actually means ; while for others it is simply a very good opportunity to compassionately relax with Friends , Foes and Family.

One of the greatest strengths of GMC Abolition Campaign is the ground-breaking manner in which our humble movement has ethically leveraged an exceeedingly wide range of issues from very many different sectors ; while still formidably maintaining our Fundamental Political Ethos as an Anti-Discrimination Network.

Christmas is a time for communities to lovingly come together, to give and to share and to be at peace ; a time to build the kind of respect for each other which ultimately helps us to be stronger.

My affectionate hope for 2009 is that a tinsy winsy little bit of the profound goodwill and mutual respect which we all enjoy at Christmas will eclectically last (at least in part) ; all year round and possibly beyond .

Merry Christmas , Everybody . . . and Happy New Year."

Doctor Joseph Chikelue Obi ¦ " No Police Warrant Was Needed To Search Parliament Office Of Damian Green MP " ¦ " Parliament Gave Consent To Police "

Leader of Opposition against the General Medical Council and Chief Regulator of the Medical Licensing Commission (MLC) , Doctor Joseph Chikelue Obi, has once again refused to condemn the recent arrest of Shadow Immigration Minister Damian Green MP.

Reacting to massive media interest relating to his earlier statements on the issue , a totally unperturbed Doctor Obi decisively averred :

" As previously stated , I would never (ever) ordinarily defend the Institutionally Racist London Metropolitan Police Force ; in any manner ,way, shape or form.

However, on this particular occasion , I do firmly feel that the Metropolitan Police Officers did not break the Law ; as it was the Responsible Officer of Parliament who actually signed a Consent Form to allow the search to proceed in the very first place.

Technically Speaking , such Voluntary Consent is perfectly admissible in Lieu of a Compulsory Warrant - So I personally do not see precisely what the fuss is about ; as it is very (very) likely (indeed) that the Handsome Hefty Metropolitan Police Hunks cheekily charmed all of the Expensive Lingerie and Frilly Lace off (Jill Pay) the newly appointed Sergeant-at-Arms . . . before wickedly abandoning her to politically stew in her very own Hot (and Steamy) Juices.

The bottomline is this : If (for whatever reason) the Responsible Officer of Parliament was gracefully hoodwinked into voluntarily letting (allowing) Metropolitan Police Investigators into the Palace of Westminster , then that is a matter for Parliament to debate upon ; with the ultimate view of ethically strengthening it's Procedures in relation to Police Investigations.

Thousands of Ethnic Minority Citizens in the United Kingdom are ruthlessly being stopped , searched and arrested by Racist Police Offers (without any warrants , and over much lesser issues) every single day - So I really do not see the reason why the controversial arrest of a Prominent White Member of the UK Parliament should attract such (Self-Serving) , Stage-Managed , Legislative Outcry . "

Doctor Joseph Chikelue Obi ¦ " Damian Green MP Police Inquiry is a waste of Tax Payers Money " ¦ "Paul Stephenson is behaving like a Scared Chicken "

The Highly Controversial Leader of Opposition against the General Medical Council and Chief Regulator of the Medical Licensing Commission (MLC) , Doctor Joseph Chikelue Obi, has publicly written-off an Independent Urgent Police Inquiry into the recent arrest of Shadow Immigration Minister Damian Green.

Responding to extended questions on the issue , a cheekily smirking Doctor Obi said :

" Ian Johnston's Inquiry is a total waste of Tax Payers Money.

Mr Johnston seems to be there chiefly to diplomatically assuage the Conservative Political Establishment and carefully wipe the copious little guilty drippings off the gluteus of Acting Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson . . . in a desperate attempt to prevent those in support of Chief Constable Mike Fuller from ultimately propelling their very own Candidate into the Substantive Metropolitan Police Commissioner Post.

Paul Stephenson is obviously now running around like a scared little headless chicken - and I very personally believe that such (blatantly undesirable) , wanton administrative spinelessness is fundamentally incompatible with the Office of Commissioner of the London Metropolitan Police Force.

The Job requires Courage , not Cowardice . . ."

Doctor Joseph Obi ¦ Roadmap to Medical Regulation ¦ Christmas 2008 Update

We are exceedingly pleased to ethically announce that the following part of the Award Winning Roadmap to Medical Regulation Series will be globally released sometime before Christmas 2008 :


General Medical Council : Roadmap to Medical Regulation (Part 10 : Dead Council Walking . . .) by Doctor Joseph Obi FRCAM (Dublin).


Stay Tuned, Folks . . . This one is certainly going to be big . . .

Doctor Joseph Obi ¦ "The Arrest of Damian Green MP was absolutely in order . . ." ¦ " The current UK Parliament is not worth much Spittle . . ."

The Exceedingly Eclectic Leader of Opposition against the General Medical Council and Chief Regulator of the Medical Licensing Commission (MLC) , Doctor Joseph Chikelue Obi, has bluntly refused to condemn the recent arrest of Shadow Immigration Minister Damian Green.

Responding (over the weekend) to a few private questions on the issue ,a totally exasperated Doctor Obi venomously spat :

"Those who personally know me can solidly vouch for the fact that I am not one to go out of my way to defend the London Metropolitan Police Force.

However, on this particular occasion , I do firmly feel the the Metropolitan Police Officers were very (very) justified indeed ; as no-one should ever be seen to be blatantly above the Law . . . most especially an utterly shameless (and obliviously greedy) group of Lousy UK Parliamentarians who don't even like the idea of making their official expenses public.

Thousands of Ethnic Minority Citizens in the United Kingdom are ruthlessly being arrested by Racist Police Offers (over much lesser issues) every single day - So I really do not see the reason why the arrest of a Prominent White Member of Parliament should attract such Global Furore .

If irate members of the Conservative Party are abominably angry with the current regime at New Scotland Yard , then they should carefully follow my candid little advice - and kindly consider switching their support for the Substantive Metropolitan Police Commissioner Job away from Sir Paul Stephenson . . . to Chief Constable Mike Fuller.

Otherwise, they should all just simply grin and bear it . . ."

Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi boldly predicts an 'Obama Moment' at the London Metropolitan Police Force . . ."

Maverick Black British Anti-Racism Crusader , Dr Joseph Obi , has advised all well-meaning UK Citizens to formidably brace themselves for an Obama Moment at the London Metropolitan Police Force .

Speaking in response to (Tarique Ghaffur - related) questions at an Exclusive Luncheon to mark the launch of the Brand New DR(AM) Professional Prefix Title , a totally delighted Professor Obi said:


" The hand of history is formidably hovering above us.

It is now time for an Eclectic Obama Moment to decisively take place at the London Metropolitan Police Force.

In the absence of any other current serious contenders , I am exceptionally pleased to publicly announce that Chief Constable (Barrister) Mike Fuller eclectically has the potential to be the First Ever Black Commissioner of the London Metropolitan Police Force."

Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi ¦ "The DR(AM) Initiative can lawfully help Unregistered Doctors swiftly set up their own Alternative Medicine Clinics !"

Leader of Opposition against the General Medical Council and Chief Regulator of the Medical Licensing Commission (MLC) , Doctor Joseph Chikelue Obi, has publicly confirmed that the brand new DR(AM) Prefix Title will additionally be made fully available to those Medical Graduates who do not hold Registration with either the General Medical Council , or any other Statutory Medical Licensing Bodies .

Responding to multiple questions in relation to DR(AM) - the Brand New Alternative Medicine Prefix Title ,Professor Obi categorically stated :

"If GMC President Graeme Robertson Dawson Catto can easily get away with technically killing a patient and deliberately falsifying a massive bundle of NHS Casenotes thereof (to elegantly cover up his fiendish little tracks from both the Police and the Coroner) ; then I see absolutely no reason why Suspended , Struck-Off , and Unregistered Medical Doctors should not be given the ethical opportunity to lawfully avail of the DR(AM) Designation - subject to current DR(AM) Criteria.

The beauty of the DR(AM) Initiative is that it can rapidly be acquired in record time , thus enabling almost any Qualified Medical Graduate to lawfully set up his (or her) very own Private (Alternative Medicine) Clinic ; within 14 Working Days of completion of all of the necessary formalities.

Whatever your Embattled Medical Background ,the DR(AM) Initiative can swiftly (and legally) help you profitably find your feet again ; provided that you act quickly.

Apply Early - to avoid having to pay a huge amount in 2009 . . ."

Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi to unveil Unregistered Doctors Initiative

Leader of Opposition against the General Medical Council and Chief Regulator of the Medical Licensing Commission (MLC) , Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi, is to announce a Landmark Retraining Initiative for Medical Graduates who have been refused registration by the General Medical Council (GMC).

The programme will also be extended to all those who have suffered a similar fate before other Statutory Medical Regulatory Bodies all over the Globe ; Professor Obi does not believe that the talents of any Qualified Medical Graduate should ever be allowed to go to waste , especially when the Racist General Medical Council is refusing to comprehensively investigate Medical Manslaughter Allegations against GMC President Graeme Robertson Dawson Catto.

Further details will be publicly made available at www.MedicalCouncil.co.uk ; in due course

Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi to unwrap Erased (Struck -Off) Doctors Initiative

Leader of Opposition against the General Medical Council and Chief Regulator of the Medical Licensing Commission (MLC) , Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi, is soon set to unwrap a Landmark Retraining Initiative for Medical Graduates who have been erased (struck-off) by the General Medical Council (GMC).

The programme will also be extended to all those who have suffered a similar fate before other Statutory Medical Regulatory Bodies all over the Globe ; Professor Obi does not believe that the talents of any Qualified Medical Graduate should ever be allowed to go to waste , especially when the Racist General Medical Council is refusing to comprehensively investigate Medical Manslaughter Allegations against GMC President Graeme Robertson Dawson Catto.

Further details will be publicly made available at www.MedicalCouncil.co.uk ; in due course

Leader of Opposition against the General Medical Council and Chief Regulator of the Medical Licensing Commission (MLC) , Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi, is to announce a Landmark Retraining Initiative for Medical Graduates who have been suspended by the General Medical Council (GMC).

The programme will also be extended to all those who have suffered a similar fate before other Statutory Medical Regulatory Bodies all over the Globe ; Professor Obi does not believe that the talents of any Qualified Medical Graduate should ever be allowed to go to waste , especially when the Racist General Medical Council is refusing to comprehensively investigate Medical Manslaughter Allegations against GMC President Graeme Robertson Dawson Catto.

Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi : "DR(AM) Publicity was not meant to rain on the GMC's Parade"

Leader of Opposition against the General Medical Council and Chief Regulator of the Medical Licensing Commission (MLC) , Professor Doctor Joseph Chikelue Obi, has publicly denied Persistent GMC Insinuations that his announcement of the brand new DR(AM) Prefix Title was deliberately (and maliciously) meant to sensationally upstage the 150th Anniversary Celebrations of the General Medical Council.

Responding to a mountain of electronic correspondence in relation to DR(AM) - the Brand New Alternative Medicine Prefix Title , a cheekily grinning Professor Obi firmly stated :

"As a Complete (and Flawless) Gentleman (of sorts) , I wish to categorically state that the purely co-incidental arrival of the DR(AM) Prefix was never ( ever , ever ) meant to rain on anyone's Parade (whatsoever) - most especially that of the Prima Donna GMC.

May I therefore warmly use this formidable public opportunity to expediently wish the Tantrum-Throwing GMC an exceedingly enjoyable birthday celebration (indeed) ; at least for this particular weekend.

Our Monumental (Anti-Racism) Battles will eclectically resume (in earnest) , first thing on Monday Morning . . ."

Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi : "The DR(AM) Prefix sounds (and looks) highly original."

Controversial Leader of Opposition against the General Medical Council and Chief Regulator of the Medical Licensing Commission (MLC) , Doctor Joseph Chikelue Obi, has publicly
admitted that the DR(AM) Prefix Title does sound a bit too unique.

Responding to a barrage of questions in relation to DR(AM) - the New Alternative Medicine Prefix Title , an impishly winking Professor Obi cheekily retorted :

"Of course the DR(AM) Prefix sounds highly original - especially to those with profound thirst for change.

And that is why it will soon be appearing on Professional Promotional Material all across the Globe . . . As it also looks very (very) good on paper too ! "

Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi : "DR(AM) Prefix Initiative can easily be extended to other Clinical Professionals."

Controversial Leader of Opposition against the General Medical Council and Chief Regulator of the Medical Licensing Commission (MLC) , Doctor Joseph Chikelue Obi, has publicly advised Medical Doctors to get their very own unique Professional Prefix Title.

Speaking in response to an avalanche of questions in relation to DR(AM) - the New Alternative Medicine Prefix Title , a widely smiling Professor Obi averred :

"As it currently stands, Medical Doctors all over the world have no Exclusive Universal Prefix Title of their very own , apart from the one which the Medical Profession literally pinched from Academicians, very many centuries ago.

Now that an utterly misguided group of Medical Doctors has foolishly started harassing Dentists , Optometrists, Pharmacists , Chiropractors, Podiatrists , Psychologists and other equally entitled Clinical Heathcare Professionals ; it is only a matter of time when Medical Doctors themselves will given an exceptionally bitter taste of their very own Medicine ; most especially those with MBBS , MB BCH , BM and MB CHB Degrees.

Although the DR(AM) Alternative Medicine Prefix Initiative can easily be extended to other Clinical Professionals ; I am not currently convinced that it will do the DR(AM) Brand any good if almost everybody was able to use it , all of the time. And that is why I have decided to fundamentally limit it's usage solely to those who are Fellows of RCAM.

It is therefore fundamentally imperative that the Global Medical Community urgently rebrands itself too, and ethically pursues it's very own Promotional (and Professional) Identity . . . perhaps by expediently adopting the Statutory German Professional Prefix Initiative of DR MED , without any further delay.

Otherwise , the Medical Profession significantly risks having it's Core Professional Identity comprehensively eroded - as most of the Chief Executives of Statutory Medical Councils around the world are not Medical Doctors in the very first place . . . and frankly couldn't even care less about the relatively inconsequential issue of graciously massaging the formidable egos of their registrants , with High Octane Titles ."

Dr Joseph Obi launches the DR(AM) Prefix Designation in America . . .

It is warmly announced that Dr Joseph Obi has formally launched the Brand New DR(AM) Alternative Medicine Prefix Title Designation in the United States of America.

The European Union Version of the DR(AM) Designation has already been lawfully available for the past 3 weeks.

Further details are coming soon.

Thank You.

Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi Backs The Return Of Chairman Stelios To Easyjet . . .

Controversial Black British Anti-Racism Campaigner , and Chief Regulator of the Medical Licensing Commission (MLC) , Professor Joseph Obi , has publicly backed the return of Ethnic Minority Billionaire Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou to Easyjet as Substantive Corporate Chairman.

Speaking from an Executive Lounge of an International Airport on his way to a Professional Conference ,an elated Professor Obi averred :

" A lot of European Airlines do tend obtain a substantial part of their business from the maverick publicity surrounding their highly entertaining Chairmen and Chief Executives.

Virgin Airlines has Richard Branson , Ryanair has Mike O'Leary , while Easyjet has almost always had Good Old Stelios at it's helm.

In my opinion , Easyjet currently still has far too much untapped potential for comfort ; and I warmly look forward to flying with Easyjet as soon as Stelios becomes Chairman again - assuming that he still actually wants the job in the very first place . . ."

Joseph Chikelue Obi : Employment Tribunal Claim Update (1)

This is to publicly announce that an Official Website is currently being set up for the Landmark Employment Tribunal Case between Dr Joseph Chikelue Obi and the General Medical Council.

The site has become necessary to counter the oodles (and oodles) of mis-information which is currently being ruthlessly churned out (about Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi) by the General Medical Council and it's utterly shameless stooges.

Dr Joseph Obi : " I am ultimately destined for Far Greater Things than GMC Bitterness . . ."

Controversial Black British Anti-Racism Campaigner , and Chief Regulator of the Medical Licensing Commission (MLC) , Professor Joseph Obi , has decisively brushed aside (GMC-sponsored) rumours that he is highly bitter and exceedingly vexatious.

Reacting to further General Medical Council Allegations that he is ruthlessly adopting a Vengeful Prima Donna (Diva) Attitude towards it and it's Top Regulatory Staff , a visibly flabberghasted Professor Obi firmly stated :

" I am ultimately destined for far much greater things than the General Medical Council (and it's Morbidly Racist Principles thereof).

Let the General Medical Council therefore thirstily drink of it's very own Bile if it nastily wishes to do so . . . 'Cos I (most certainly) ain't Bitter (in the very least , indeed).

All that I candidly seek is Justice . . . Pure and Simple . . ."

Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi : " I am a Survivor . . Not a Saint . . ."

Leader of Opposition against the General Medical Council and Chief Regulator of the Medical Licensing Commission (MLC) , Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi, has jokingly played down rumours that he is fast becoming some sort of Latter Day Maverick Medical Messiah.

Responding to General Medical Council Insinuations that he is rapidly causing an Indelible Professional Schism within the International Medical Fraternity, a cheekily grinning Professor Obi calmly responded :


" Go do an Extended Google Search and read it all for yourself.

There are very few Medical Doctors (on planet earth) who have sensationally survived even half of what I have horribly had to put up with , over the past decade or so : But that still does not summarily elevate me to the status of some sort of Latter Day Maverick Medical Messiah.

I am a Survivor . . . Not a Saint . . . and you better (damn well bloody) believe it . . ."

Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi is above the General Medical Council . . .

This is to publicly clarify that the Leader of Opposition against the General Medical Council and Chief Regulator of the Medical Licensing Commission (MLC) , Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi, is not accountable to the General Medical Council in any way , shape or form.

The General Medical Council has repeatedly missed all Statutory Opportunities to regulate Professor Obi ; and has foolishly fallen into a well-constructed trap.

The General Medical Council has also sensationally failed in it's bid to use the Racist Press (et al) to globally discredit him ; as his popularity has actually dramatically soared since then - and he has now become a major household name.

To this effect, Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi is now categorically deemed to be totally above the General Medical Council ; and totally outwith the GMC's Jurisdiction or Purview.

The current Employment Tribunal Case is specifically not asking for re-instatement ; rather it is explicitly demanding Massive Financial Compensation and various other Lawful Interventions too.

Any other Litigation or Appeal Cases outwith the Employment Tribunal are purely for the purposes of extracting further information from the GMC, which would not have ordinarily been available outside the Statutory Court Process.

The GMC has gleefully done it's very own little bit over the past decade (or so) ; and now is the time for Joseph Chikelue Obi to expediently do his very own (tinsy-winsy) little bit too.

Everyone (on earth) fundamentally deserves a Fair (and Impartial) Hearing . . . even Dr Joseph Chikelue Obi.

Thank You.

Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi - Statement On Landmark Employment Tribunal Case . . .

INTERNATIONAL PRESS RELEASE :

Leader of Opposition against the General Medical Council and Chief Regulator of the Medical Licensing Commission (MLC) , Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi, will not be personally commenting on the GMC's dramatic failure to fully strike out his Landmark Employment Tribunal Claim.

The case is now due for a Full Public Hearing ; where we warmly look forward to calmly watching him directly cross-examine Finlay Scott and Graeme Robertson Dawson Catto.

END OF PRESS STATEMENT

Dr Joseph Chikelue Obi sensationally thrashes the General Medical Council . . . Wins first round at London Central Employment Tribunal . . .

A totally exasperated member of Staff at the General Medical Council has duly confirmed that Leader of Opposition against the General Medical Council and Chief Regulator of the Medical Licensing Commission (MLC) , Dr Joseph Chikelue Obi, has comprehensively won the first round against the General Medical Council , after the GMC dramatically failed to strike out his Landmark Employment Tribunal Claim.


At the time of this exceedingly brief report , the Legal Team of Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi bluntly refused to comment on the issue.


Further details are coming soon.

Dr Joseph Chikelue Obi : " Vexatious , Moi ? . . . Surely You Jest ? "

Leader of Opposition against the General Medical Council and Chief Regulator of the Medical Licensing Commission (MLC) , Dr Joseph Chikelue Obi, has openly denied being vexatious with the General Medical Council.

Responding to General Medical Council Allegations that he is ruthlessly adopting a 'Totally Vexatious Attitude' to it and it's Staff , a monumentally shocked Professor Obi swiftly retorted :

"Vexatious , Moi ? . . . Surely you jest ?

It is the GMC which is the Racist Vexatious Party here - and the GMC bloody well knows it !

I am just a Poor Little Black Guy who ultimately wants the GMC to ethically change for the better - and I will certainly not rest until the Racist GMC permanently stops harassing Rebellious Ethnic Minority Doctors like me .

If the GMC sensationally feels that Joseph Obi is an extremely serious threat to it's statutory authority , then it better go think again . . . for Joseph Chikelue Obi is (most certainly) not the one who the GMC should really be afraid of . . . especially at at time when there are very many thousands of (Racially Abused) Ethnic Minority Doctors out there . . . many of whom are exceedingly ready to mercilessly pounce upon the GMC whenever the need arises . . ."

Dr Joseph Chikelue Obi says GMC Licensing is not compulsory for Medical Graduates to carry out Clinical Work in the United Kingdom . . .

The Highly Controversial Leader of Opposition against the General Medical Council and Chief Regulator of the Medical Licensing Commission (MLC) , Doctor Joseph Chikelue Obi, has publicly advised Ethnic Minority Doctors to comprehensively ignore any General Medical Council assertions that they cannot carry out all forms of UK Clinical Work without GMC Registration and Licensing.

Speaking in response to further questions concerning the increased number of Ethnic Minority Doctors who are publicly challenging the GMC, an exceedingly relaxed Professor Obi said :

" The General Medical Council (GMC) does not (and will never ever) have Limitless Statutory Powers to prevent any Qualified Medical Graduate from carrying out all forms of Clinical Work within the United Kingdom.

As far as you do not represent yourself as a GMC-Registered Medical Practitioner within the United Kingdom while lawfully performing certain Clinical Actions , Duties , Activities and Procedures which do not exclusively require GMC Registration or Licensing ; then the GMC cannot touch you - provided that you have a Solid Professional Body behind you.

I therefore publicly urge you all to comprehensively ignore any General Medical Council Correspondence which unlawfully states otherwise ; as there are very many hundreds of thousands of Nurses and other Healthcare Professionals in the UK who legally carry out thousands of Serious Clinical Procedures every single day - without any form of GMC Registration or Licensing whatsover."

Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi : " Baby P Case urgently sets the stage for a Multi-Disciplinary,Independent ,Statutory, Child Protection Council . . ."

Medical Licensing Commission (MLC) Boss , Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi , has publicly called for a Inter-Disciplinary Child Protection Council to annually license (and revalidate) all Professionals (including Doctors , Nurses , Psychologists, Social Workers , Police Officers and NHS Managers etc) who work in the Child Protection Arena within the United Kingdom.

Speaking in direct response to questions concerning his views on the highly publicized Baby P Case, a totally exasperated Professor Obi averred :

" We urgently need an Inter-Disciplinary Child Protection Council to statutorily license (and revalidate) all Professionals , (including Doctors , Nurses , Psychologists ,Investigators , Adjudicators, Attorneys , Social Workers , Care Staff , Police Officers and NHS Managers etc), who officially work in the Child Protection Arena within the United Kingdom.

The General Medical Council obviously seems to consistently know exceedingly little (indeed) about Child Protection Issues . . . and the very same bundle of rebuke equally goes for almost all of the other Statutory Regulators too.

How many Baby P Deaths will there ultimately have to be before our Lazy UK Parliamentarians finally get off their morbidly fat glutei ; to permanently do something sensible about the sorry scenario ? "

Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi says Police Commissioner Tarique Ghaffur is to leave the London Metropolitan Police Force with Millions of Dollars . . .

Controversial Black British Anti-Racism Campaigner , and Chief Regulator of the Medical Licensing Commission (MLC) , Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi , has publicly congratulated Assistant Metropolitan Police Commissioner Tarique Ghaffur for selflessly delivering almost 35 years of totally dedicated service to the nation ; and warmly wished him an exceedingly lavish retirement.

Speaking from an Undisclosed Private Location , an exceedingly satisfied Professor Obi said :

" I warmly congratulate Police Commissioner Dr Tarique Ghaffur for selflessly delivering almost three and a half decades of fabulous service to the United Kingdom.

Inasmuch as I would have really loved his Racism Case to have publicly gone before an Employment Tribunal ; I candidly feel that Dr Ghaffur (himself) may have personally lost the will to fight this case , especially after the Racist UK Establishment mercilessly wrecked his Private Family Life and Lethally Incapacitated his Firebrand Solicitor, Dr Shahrokh Mireskandari.

Permit me to therefore happily wish Tarique (and his Very Latest Wife) an exceedingly luxurious period of Retirement . . . now that the Metropolitan Police Force has formally agreed to a mutually acceptable Multi-Million Dollar ($) Severance Package , allegedly made up of almost Two Million American Dollars Upfront (in terms of compensation and other duly entitled lump sums) plus another annual payment of roughly a quarter of a million American Dollars (every single year) for the rest of his life.

Every Man has his price . . . In future, someone far much greater than Tarique Ghaffur will majestically arrive at the London Metropolitan Police Force ; to defiantly carry on from where Commissioner Ghaffur honourably stopped. "

Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi says that Ethnic Minority Doctors should adopt a 'Tit-For-Tat' Approach to GMC Racism . . . Till the UK Government Acts

Leader of Opposition against the General Medical Council , Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi has publicly advised Ethnic Minority Doctors to proportionately target the livelihoods (and families) of Racist GMC Staff ; in the very same way that the General Medical Council is unlawfully targeting theirs.

Speaking in response to questions concerning the increased number of Ethnic Minority Doctors who are publicly challenging the GMC, an exceedingly serious Professor Obi said :

" As someone who has personally been consistently harassed by the General Medical Council (GMC) over the past decade (or so) , I wish to ethically advise all Embattled Ethnic Minority Doctors (out there) to use every available means at their disposal to formidably attack all criminal facets the Racist GMC . . . and everything which the Racist General Medical Council corruptly stands for.

If the Racist General Medical Council morbidly sends it's Racist Agents after you and your innocent family , then you should equally consider whether to proportionately make the necessary arrangements to eclectically send your very own Ruthless Agents after the innocent livelihoods (and families) of GMC Staff Members too.

As the Racist UK Government has shamelessly chosen to look the other way while the GMC perpetually wrecks the livelihoods of Ethnic Minority Doctors, then that very same UK Government must equally look the other way when Abused Ethnic Minority Doctors ultimately decide to seek Appropriate Vengeance in any reciprocal way which they boldly deem fit .

Whenever the UK Government starts taking Institutional Racism at the GMC quite seriously (indeed), it is then (and only then) that a possible ceasefire should be temporarily negotiated .

In the Interim , all UK Ethnic Minority Doctors should strongly consider brazenly adopting a Tit-for-Tat approach to all Harassment Issues relating to the GMC ; while defiantly (and stubbornly) damning the Bloody Legal Consequences thereof.

Ethnic Minority Doctors must still be prepared to publicly drag the GMC through the Courts and Tribunals ; but ,(while they are patiently waiting for Biased Magistrates and Bribed Judges to ultimately deliver their Very Lengthy Verdicts), nothing stops them from expediently administering a tinsy winsy little bit of Natural Justice of their own . . . on the side . . ."

Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi : "More Ethnic Minority Doctors Should Publicly Snub The GMC . . ."

Medical Licensing Commission (MLC) Boss , Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi , is said to be exceedingly impressed by the way in which an Ethnic Minority Doctor ,Dr Muhammad Siddiq , sensationally dismissed his allegedly inept Barrister during a highly controversial GMC Hearing and furiously stormed out ; after he was denied an Adjournment in which to find a New Lawyer.

Although Professor Joseph Obi is said not to endorse the globally publicized Human Sexuality Opinions which are currently being attributed to Dr Siddiq ; the MLC Chief Regulator seems to have been exceedingly happy with the exceptionally entertaining manner in which the Embattled Islamic Doctor publicly gave the GMC a thorough piece of his mind ; while making his highly dramatic exit.

Before leaving, Dr Siddiq boldly told the General Medical Council Panel in Manchester:

"I am in no position to represent myself and therefore I think that it is only appropriate that the panel make allowances for this by granting a reasonable time of adjournment.

It disappoints me greatly that this long and arduous journey in the hope of receiving the right to a fair hearing has come to an end by the panel's decision.

I have little or no option but to take no further part in proceedings and now request leave from the panel."

Dentists claim the right to be called 'Dr'

By Kate Devlin Medical Correspondent , Daily Telegraph ( Click here for Web Link )

Last Updated: 4:14PM GMT 31 Oct 2008

Dentists are demanding the right to call themselves by the title 'Dr', giving them the same privileges as their counterparts in other European countries.

But the call has sparked a row with medical doctors, who complain that, while highly qualified, dentists could mislead patients about the extent of their expertise.

Although not banned from using the term, dentists can face penalties if it is judged that they are not being clear enough about their qualifications.

Earlier this month the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) ordered a dentist to stop calling himself 'Dr' in his advertisements, unless he had a medical qualification or a PhD.

But dentists insist that more widespread use of the term would not confuse patients and would bring Britain into line with the rest of Europe, where it is commonplace.

"We believe that dentists should be permitted to use the courtesy title 'Dr' should they wish and provided that it is not done in a way which might mislead patients as to their qualifications," said Peter Ward, the chief executive of the British Dental Association (BDA).

"The General Dental Council has no objection to the title and its use is becoming widespread," he added.

"In virtually all other European states and other English speaking countries throughout the world dentists are given the title and we support harmonisation with professional colleagues from overseas."

Calling dentists 'Dr' could even remove confusion for some patients, he claimed.

"Many patients in this country, both UK nationals and those from abroad, address their dentist as 'Dr' and many dentists and patients from abroad are confused by the fact that dentists in Britain are not referred to by the title," he said.

The number of dentists from abroad has grown in recent years, as professionals from across Eastern Europe in particular have flocked to Britain, where their skills can earn much higher salaries than in their home country.

Last month it was reported that dentists from Hungary were to begin touring Britain in inflatable tents offering their services to patients struggling to find an NHS dentist.

But Dr Jonathan Fielden, chairman of the British Medical Association's consultants committee, called for dentists to be banned from using the term, to protect patient safety. "Patients have a right to clarity and to be secure in the knowledge that the person treating them is competent and qualified to do so," he said.

"Certain titles can sometimes mislead patients into thinking people are medically qualified when they are not.

"We think it's important that patients can establish whether or not the person treating them is medically qualified.

"The title used by the person treating them is thus of crucial importance."

While dentists are not prohibited entirely from calling themselves Dr, the ASA says that to do so without also making it obvious that they are not doctors is a clear breach of advertising laws.

The latest case, involving a dentist in Knutsford in Cheshire, is not the first time that the ASA has enforced similar rules.

The authority warned the clinic involved not to use "Dr" in their ads again unless the practitioner was medically qualified or held a doctorate.

"It is important to protect consumers from being confused about what the term doctor means," a spokesman for the ASA said.

"Dentists are not prevented from using doctor entirely, but it is about the way that they use it."

A spokesman for the Department of Health said: “The title of “Doctor” is not a protected title, so you don’t have to be a medical practitioner to use it.”

He added, however, that there was a provision in the Dentists Act 1984 which prevented dentists from using any title or description to suggest a qualification that they did not posses, but said that it was up to the General Dental Council to enforce that rule.

* At the Time of this Emergency Submission , the Office of the Leader of Opposition against the General Medical Council , Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi , officially confirmed that the above Petition has Professor Obi's Full Support.

Please Click Here To Sign The Petition !

Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi backs the use of 'Doctor' Title by Qualified Dentists and Dental Practitioners . . . Warns of Medical Comeuppance . . .

GMC Opposition Leader and MLC Boss Medical Licensing Commission (MLC) , Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi , has publicly stated that Qualified Dentists have exactly the same right to call themselves 'Doctor' . . . just like their Medical Counterparts.

Reacting to News that the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has barred Dentists from using the word 'Doctor' in their Promotional Materials, Professor Obi said:

" The Term Doctor (which had it's origins in the Latin Verb 'Doceo' meaning 'to Teach or To Mentor') was used for very many generations for Multidisciplinary Academic Professionals (of Top University Standard) , long before Physicians were even college-educated.

A Revolutionary Bunch of Snobby Physicians literally hijacked the 'Doctor Title' sometime in the 14th century even when they were still Trained via an Apprentice Licentiate System.

So , for Medical Practitioners to now claim that they should be the only people allowed to use that designation is absolutely absurd (to say the very least).

The General Public are highly well-informed these days , and will clearly understand the various differences in Clincial Roles if Professionals clearly introduce themselves properly and if we do a good job of explaining who we are and what services we provide.

For example , I could say , My name is Joseph , and I am an Alternative Medicine Doctor. I could also describe myself as Doctor Joseph Chikelue Obi - a Consultant in Evidence Based Alternative Medicine.


The recent ASA Ruling in relation to Dentists is Fundamentally Flawed , and I hereby advise all UK Dentists to defiantly drag the Advertising Standards Authority through every Named Court on the Planet .

Dentists all over the world universally use the 'Doctor' Title ; and it is exceedingly foolish for the ASA to bullishly attempt to demean the Dental Profession , via such a highly uninformed decision.

While the General Dental Council of the United Kingdom (and the British Dental Association) are gracefuully ruminating on this issue , I would hereby like to assure all Dentists in the United Kingdom that the Medical Licensing Commission fully recognizes Dentists as 'Teeth Doctors' , and will continue to do so irrespective of the ASA Ruling.

In addition to that , all Dentists in the UK who wish to Register with the Medical Licensing Commission , are perfectly free to do so - with immediate effect ; thus appropriately making them lawfully eligible to additionally avail of the Brand New Alternative Medicine Doctor Prefix Designation Title in addition to their conventional 'Doctor' Honorific.

As a Fully Qualified International Medical Doctor , I wish to publicly rebuke those Shameless Medical Graduates who are ruthlessly terrorizing Dental Surgeons , Chiropractors , Podiatrists and other 'Unseen Doctors'.

Such abominably divisive attitude will one day end up wrecking the British Medical Profession itself , as most Medical Practitioners in the United Kingdom technically only just have a Bachelors (First) Degree , not a Medical Doctorate ; thus equally making most of them Totally Non-Eligible to use the 'Doctor Title'.

As we in Alternative Medicine now have our very own Professional Prefix Title , I strong urge Registered Medical Practitioners to expediently get their very own Title Prefix too - instead of foolishly harassing Qualified Dentists and other Clinical Brethren in the Healthcare Arena. "

Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi says that there is no such thing as a Brand New General Medical Council (GMC) . . . Defers Public Statement on the issue

Leader of Opposition against the General Medical Council , Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi , has bluntly refused to make a Detailed Public Statement on the New General Medical Council , till sometime next month .

Speaking in reply to multiple queries response to the matter , a totally relaxed Professor Obi amusingly guffawed :

" There is absolutely no hurry . . . For I am reliably informed that many of the so-called New GMC Council Members have actually been on the GMC Payroll during varying periods , over the past few decades or so.

As such , it would be totally inappropriate to describe such a Comprehensively Recycled Bunch of Exceedingly Interesting Characters as being (anywhere near) New , at all. "

Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi defends Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand . . . Pours Scorn on UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown . . .

The Exceedingly Enigmatic Leader of Opposition against the General Medical Council , Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi , has publicly defended Embattled UK Comedians Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand , over their Scandalous Escapade during a (very recent) highly controversial BBC Radio Show.

Speaking in response to various questions on the issue , a cheekily grinning Professor Obi averred :

"Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand are not BBC Programme Editors.

They do not have Editorial Control over the BBC ; and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown should have reasonably known that before greedily cashing in on the Chaos.

From what I gather , the Offensive Radio Show was actually pre-recorded.

So the person who should really be responsible is the BBC Manager who permitted the comments to be publicly aired - and not the Highly Apologetic Comedians (Ross and Brand) . . . who were simply just Clowning Around."

General Medical Council President Graeme Catto technically fired from Office . . . Ordered to vacate the GMC by the 1st of July 2009.

It is announced that current General Medical Council President , Professor Sir Lord Dr Mr Graeme Catto MD FRCP , has been technically fired from the General Medical Council , with effect from the 30th of June 2009 ; to enable a far much more reputable Individual to ethically take over the GMC Presidency.

Most of the currently serving (Non-Presidential) General Medical Council Members have also been technically fired (6 months earlier) from the General Medical Council , effective from the 31st day of December 2008 ; to enable a much more competent set of Noble Individuals to ethically take over GMC Strategic Affairs.


An International Public Statement on the issue , direct from the office of General Medical Council Opposition Leader Joseph Chikelue Obi , is due to be formally made within the next 96 Hours or so.

As at today , the current list of GMC Council Members is as follows :

Dr Rachel Jean Angus FRCP (GMC No. 2207720) ; elected by doctors in North England

The above list is totally different from the one below ; which currently shows, in alphabetical order, the details of the Medical and Lay Members of Panels which adjudicate on the GMC's Fitness-to-Practise Cases.

Both Lists are very important indeed - as they ethically assist in the early detection of any Sycophantic Ass-Lickers ; most especially those ones whose published names repeatedly pop up within the New General Medical Council.
