Unfortunately Nuttall’s cancer recurred in May in her spine. She became so ill that traveling to Germany again was no longer an option. She died last October, and, according to the
@BBC article, the video of Nuttall on TV praising Winslet remained on the Hallwang site. 10/2 replies 3 retweets 29 likesShow this thread -
So why am I Tweeting about this? Well, after I wrote about the
@BBC article, I got a nastygram from Hallwang. 11/pic.twitter.com/yFvgjQ2GAe

My response, as always to lethal thuggery, was to ask specifically Hallwang thought to be erroneous/libelous. In this case I also couldn't help but note that the
@BBC hadn't changed the article as far as I could tell. 12/pic.twitter.com/Mq8Isebkxv

I didn't hear anything after that for nearly four months. Then, out of the blue, Hallwang emailed me again on the Fourth of July. 13/pic.twitter.com/7o6d2wDJyA

I couldn't believe it. Had
@BBC actually caved to legal threats from what I considered a quack clinic? Was it true? Unfortunately it appears to be true. Here's the link to the original article. It now returns a 404 error. 14/ https://www.bbc.com/news/health-47442946 …4 replies 10 retweets 42 likesShow this thread -
And here's the Wayback Machine version of the same link. As you can see, the reporting appears to have been quite solid. 15/https://web.archive.org/web/20190306123354/https://www.bbc.com/news/health-47442946 …

Because
@BBC cravenly caved, I had little choice but to take my post down too, at least temporarily. Basically, the BBC had left me and any others who had commented on its story out to dry, and having broken links on the blog is bad anyway. 16/pic.twitter.com/JdDg5eBssY

Why did
@BBC, sometime between March and now, delete the Tweet? It doesn't look good. It sure looks like the BBC caved, but I can't know for sure. 17/3 replies 0 retweets 6 likesShow this thread -
I'm not the only one who was threatened by Hallwang for comnenting on the BBC story; so it seems likely that
@BBC surrendered to the legal thuggery of what I consider to be a quack clinic. For shame! 18/1 reply 1 retweet 8 likesShow this thread
