I've withdrawn from three separate professional registration bodies so that I am free to provide my honest opinions without constraint. I don't hold back. This episode begins with eight minutes of various voice clips from and about Charlotte Dujardin before the whipping video scandal broke. I then include clips from a National TV channel on the morning that the shocking news was announced, together with some online news clarification reports which I comment on and give my opinion and perspectives.
