BMA balderdash

A spokesman for the British Medical Association is "deeply concerned about the decision to allow any form of product placement in relation to alcohol, gambling and foods high in fat, sugar or salt" (your report, January 5).

Having read this, I am deeply concerned by the BMA's apparent denial of the very concept of free will and continued advocacy of government omnipotence as the cure for every ill, real or imagined.
