Scarcely noticed over here was a remarkable speech made the other day in Brussels by Professor Anne Glover, pictured, the chief scientific adviser to the European Commission. As reported on the Continent under the headline: “Twisting facts to fit the political agenda”, she launched into a trenchant attack on how the Commission routinely ignores scientific evidence when this contradicts some “political imperative” it has decided on for other reasons, such as pressure from lobby groups. On a whole range of issues, it has then hired reports from lavishly paid consultants to come up with the arguments it needs to support its political agenda."
