There were 55 million people living in the Uk last time I counted. 55 of us are CH sufferers that have visited this board. If we are the only ones out there that that means that only 1 person in a million has CH. Given that 1 person in 5 now had access to the internet in the UK, that means that 1 in 200k must have CH. Now I would assume that 99% of those with CH and access to the Internet have found this site. I would also assume that most of them have submited entire to where we live.
So I think it's safe to say that between 1 and 2 in 200 thousand of the UK population has CH.
In other words, unless we all live on a remote Scottish Island, we would not constitute a force for political change. I am surprised that we don't all live on the smae island, because that would explain why we have CH in the first place, in addtion to 6 thumbs. My point is that we can probably forget polictical pressure as a way forward. Unless we have a few more deaths, or one of us runs for office.
