Dear Committee on Standards in Public Life,

What measures do you take to ensure no Psychopath is permitted on the Committee?

It is estimated that within the United Kingdom alone, there are over half a million psychopaths. This class of person, according to experts, has no empathy for anyone. And, not all psychopaths are in prison.

According to Dr Kevin Dutton, Dr Robert D. Hare, Dr Paul Babiak, et al, psychopaths are attracted to positions of power. Management level, upwards.

Therefore, this is a reasonable request.

Yours faithfully,

Peter McNab
