In 1999 Durodie carried out a piece of research for the Tobacco industry funded European Science and Environment Forum. The research sought to downplay the risk associated with the use of Phthalates in various consumer products, arguing campaigners had managed to elevate the perception of danger amongst Governments, the European Commission, the media and retailers by 'using a carefully timed and crafted sequence of stunts, press releases, and often unsubstantiated scientific papers…to play off these major interested parties against one another<ref>Bill Durodié, ‘Poisonous Dummies: European Risk Regulation after BSE’, ''European Science and Environment Forum'', June 1999, Cambridge, UK Research Paper, p. 2.</ref>. Drawing on the response to the BSE crisis Durodie seeks to contest this risk and challenges the use of the precautionary principle in regulatory policy, which he argues has a paralysing effect on scientific development. He concludes that the real danger that has arisen from campaigns against the potential harm of pthalates usage has been a loss of trust within society towards science and reason. Durodie also argues that the evidence used by campaigners is unsubstantiated, yet when he argues in the paper that 'despite substantial scientific evidence to the contrary, the activists’ claims that phthalates are responsible for numerous adverse health effects, including cancer and damage to the human reproductive system, have been taken seriously', he fails to cite a single scientific paper to substantiate his own claim<ref>''Ibid.'' p. 4.</ref>.

Like Durodie, Fiona Fox and Bruno Waterfield have been contributors to the magazine LM, formerly [[Living Marxism]] . Among the conference speakers were [[Frank Furedi]], [[Phil Hammond]], [[Michael Fitzpatrick]] and [[Mick Hume]], all of whom connect to [[LM]] and the [[Revolutionary Communist Party]] out of which it emerged. Another LM contributor, [[Ellen Raphael]], the Assistant Director of [[Sense About Science]], assisted Durodié with organising the event.

The fact that all these people had long term connections to each other and have been part of the same extreme political network does not appear to have been disclosed to those attending the conference. It can hardly be considered irrelevant given that the [[Revolutionary Communist Party]], contributors to [[LM]]/[[Living Marxism]] , and the RCP's front group, the [[Irish Freedom Movement]], which [[Fiona Fox]] at one time headed, all supported the 'armed struggle' in Northern Ireland, and refused to condemn any of the acts of terror of the IRA. They also, after the IRA announced their ceasefire, opposed the peace process and [[LM]] provided a platform for dissident republican views in articles written by Fox (under her alias [[Fiona Foster]]).

==Brewers of Europe (2006)==
 
In 2006 Durodié was involved on a panel of experts to consider a literature review carried out by the [[Weinberg Group]] for the [[Brewers of Europe]] to 'assist the industry in gaining a better understanding of those areas for which there appear to be conflicting views or ambiguity in the scientific literature'<ref>The Weinberg Group, [http://www.brewersofeurope.org/uploads/mycms-files/documents/archives/publications/Independent-Review-Alcohol-Consumption-in-Europe-Report-12June06.pdf 'An Independent Review of Issues Related to Alcohol Consumption in Europe'], Prepared for the Brewers of Europe, 12 June 2006, p.3.</ref>. Other panel members were Professor [[M Harvey Brenner]]<ref>See [https://profile.hsc.unt.edu/profilesystem/viewprofile.php?pid=101017&onlyview=1 Staff Profile], UNT Health Science Center.</ref>, Professor [[Marie Choquet]]<ref>Marie Choquet is vice –chair of the Scientific Committee for the [[Institute de Recherches Scientifiques sur les Boissons]]</ref>, Professor [[Jean-Marc Orgogozo]]<ref>Jean-Marc Orgogozo sits on the [[Alcohol in Moderation]] Social Scientific and Medical Council</ref>, Professor [[Pedro Marques-Vidal]], and Dr [[Myron Weinberg]], who acted as Moderator.[[Joseph Huggard]] and [[Carlos Peza]] of the [[Weinberg group]] also attended 'to provide logistical support and minute taking'<ref>The Weinberg Group, [http://www.brewersofeurope.org/uploads/mycms-files/documents/archives/publications/Independent-Review-Alcohol-Consumption-in-Europe-Report-12June06.pdf 'An Independent Review of Issues Related to Alcohol Consumption in Europe'], Prepared for the Brewers of Europe, 12 June 2006, p.4</ref>. The panel was chosen by selecting a'a group of experts with experience relevant to the areas under consideration<ref>The Weinberg Group, [http://www.brewersofeurope.org/uploads/mycms-files/documents/archives/publications/Independent-Review-Alcohol-Consumption-in-Europe-Report-12June06.pdf 'An Independent Review of Issues Related to Alcohol Consumption in Europe'], Prepared for the Brewers of Europe, 12 June 2006, p.3.</ref>. The document stated that the [[Brewers of Europe]] were concerned by the harms caused by ''inappropriate'' 'drinking of alcoholic beverages<ref>The Weinberg Group, [http://www.brewersofeurope.org/uploads/mycms-files/documents/archives/publications/Independent-Review-Alcohol-Consumption-in-Europe-Report-12June06.pdf 'An Independent Review of Issues Related to Alcohol Consumption in Europe'], Prepared for the Brewers of Europe, 12 June 2006, p.3, emphasis added.</ref>. The main areas under consideration in the literature review carried out by the Weinberg Group were stated as:
 
 
 
<blockquote style="background-color:beige;border:1pt solid Darkgoldenrod;padding:1%">
 
*European Cultural Differences and Alcohol Consumption.
 
*Total Consumption of Alcohol and Drinking Patterns: Implications for Harm.
 
*Risks and Benefits of Alcohol Consumption: The Role of Moderate Drinking
 
*Adverse Social Consequences of Alcohol Consumption
 
*Influences on Adolescence Drinking<ref>''Ibid.''
 
</ref></blockquote>
 
 
 
'''Conclusions'''
 
 
 
The purpose of the panel was allegedly to 'opine as to whether the review was a fair, accurate and up-to-date representation of the state of the science' and be prepared to comment on potential policy implications for European Policy as a result of the review<ref>The Weinberg Group, [http://www.brewersofeurope.org/uploads/mycms-files/documents/archives/publications/Independent-Review-Alcohol-Consumption-in-Europe-Report-12June06.pdf 'An Independent Review of Issues Related to Alcohol Consumption in Europe'], Prepared for the Brewers of Europe, 12 June 2006, p.4.</ref>. Almost all of the conclusions drawn by the panel were highly favourable to policies that would be beneficial to the Brewers of Europe ‘s members and affiliates such as:
 
 
 
<blockquote style="background-color:beige;border:1pt solid Darkgoldenrod;padding:1%">
 
*The panel concluded that the report was very good. All agreed that it was fair, balanced, up-to-date and representative of the literature on the issues reviewed
 
*European Union (EU) wide policies with respect to responsible use of alcohol are neither called for nor expected to work
 
*While it is well recognized that there are problems associated with alcohol abuse, such as foetal alcohol syndrome and liver cirrhosis, the data show that there are no health hazards associated with the ''appropriate'' use of alcohol. When taking the social cohesion aspects into account, there are significant overall benefits associated with its moderate consumption<ref>Emphasis added.</ref>
 
*The panel expressed concern with a tendency to attribute the effects of alcohol abuse to all drinking patterns and the likelihood of this leading to the development of inappropriate EU alcohol policy.<ref>The Weinberg Group, [http://www.brewersofeurope.org/uploads/mycms-files/documents/archives/publications/Independent-Review-Alcohol-Consumption-in-Europe-Report-12June06.pdf 'An Independent Review of Issues Related to Alcohol Consumption in Europe'], Prepared for the Brewers of Europe, 12 June 2006, p.4.</ref></blockquote>
 
 
 
'''On the adverse Social Consequences of Alcohol Consumption'''
 
 
 
Durodie was noted as having questioned alcohol's links to violent behaviour, arguing such links only occurred when alcohol was abused, indicating personal failure:
 
 
 
<blockquote style="background-color:beige;border:1pt solid Darkgoldenrod;padding:1%">
 
Mr. Durodié noted that violence is a subjective term which is fairly nebulous and elastic. Academic literature needs to be distinguished from what is reported in the media...This over-focus has an inherent risk of normalising extreme behaviour and marginalising normal behaviour. There needs to be an appropriate social targeting of resources. Additionally, using alcohol consumption as an excuse for violent behaviour excuses people from the responsibility of their actions'<ref>The Weinberg Group [http://www.brewersofeurope.org/uploads/mycms-files/documents/archives/publications/Independent-Review-Alcohol-Consumption-in-Europe-Report-12June06.pdf 'An Independent Review of Issues Related to Alcohol Consumption in Europe'], Prepared for the Brewers of Europe, 12 June 2006, p.13.</ref></blockquote>
 
 
 
The panel also concluded that there was insufficient evidence to suggest that alcohol was the major cause of societal problems such as violence and doubted that, even where further data were collected and analysed, research could ever fully determine that alcohol was the ''major'' cause of such behaviour:
 
 
 
<blockquote style="background-color:beige;border:1pt solid Darkgoldenrod;padding:1%">
 
The panellists were in consensus that there is not sufficient evidence to infer that alcohol is the major cause of societal problems such as violence or inappropriate adolescent behaviour. While more information could be collected or data from other sources analysed, doubt was expressed as to whether this additional research could fully determine if alcohol is a major cause of such behaviour<ref>The Weinberg Group, [http://www.brewersofeurope.org/uploads/mycms-files/documents/archives/publications/Independent-Review-Alcohol-Consumption-in-Europe-Report-12June06.pdf 'An Independent Review of Issues Related to Alcohol Consumption in Europe'], Prepared for the Brewers of Europe, 12 June 2006, p.13.</ref></blockquote>
 
 
 
Such analysis suggests no amount of evidence could have led this panel to conclude any differently. Nevertheless, they insisted that any policy initiatives 'must be evidence-based and demonstrate clear clinical cause and effect linkage'<ref>The Weinberg Group, [http://www.brewersofeurope.org/uploads/mycms-files/documents/archives/publications/Independent-Review-Alcohol-Consumption-in-Europe-Report-12June06.pdf 'An Independent Review of Issues Related to Alcohol Consumption in Europe'], Prepared for the Brewers of Europe, 12 June 2006, p.13.</ref>. However, given that they had concluded such evidence was likely never to be possible, this would appear to create a fairly impermeable barrier to any form of regulation.
 
 
 
==PhD Submission (2007)==
 
The PhD consisted of 12 articles and six reviews published between 1999 to 2007, including the tobacco industry funded 'poisonous dummies', preceded by a context statement which 'seeks to draw out the dominant themes, methodologies and results' of his research<ref>William John Louis Victor Durodié, [http://eprints.mdx.ac.uk/6468/ 'Miscommunicating ideas: some key lessons for risk management'], PhD thesis, ''Middlesex University'', 2007, p.7.</ref>. The thesis argues that the dual processes of 'individuation' and 'de-politicisation' have 'led to the creation of a new culture of risk management and communication' giving rise to 'a culture more worried over possibilities than probabilities...this has led to society being reorganised around risk. By miscommunicating risk - to connect with isolated individuals - politicians and officials will further exacerbate the trends identified above'<ref>William John Louis Victor Durodié, [http://eprints.mdx.ac.uk/6468/ 'Miscommunicating ideas: some key lessons for risk management'], PhD thesis, ''Middlesex University'', 2007, pp. 8-9.</ref>. In this context statement Durodié cites an array of work written by members of the [[LM Network]] such as [[Josie Appleton]], [[Adam Burgess]], [[Frank Furedi]], [[John Gillott]], [[James Heartfield]], [[Joe Kaplinsky]] and [[Simon Wessely]].

LM network resources
Durodie at the Battle of Ideas speaking on: What are the barriers to science in the 21st century ? Institute of Ideas London, UK Oct 28th, 2007

Bill Durodié is a member of the advisory board of the Scientific Alliance and is part of the LM network, having contributed to Living Marxism, Audacity, the Institute of Ideas and Spiked and being a founder member of the Manifesto Club. He is described on the Spiked website as an "Advisor to the Prime Minister's Cabinet Office Strategy Unit study 'The Costs and Benefits of Genetically Modified (GM) Crops.'"[1] This study formed the economic strand that complemented the UK government's Public Debate on GM crops which culminated in 2003.

Durodie's 1999 pamphlet Poisonous Dummies, for the Tobacco industry funded European Science and Environment Forum

Durodié is the Senior Fellow coordinating the Health and Human Security research programme in the Centre for Non-Traditional Security (NTS) Studies of the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, where he teaches a course on 'The Politics of Risk' as part of the Masters programme. For three years prior to this he was a Senior Lecturer in Risk and Corporate Security at the Defence College of Management and Technology, Cranfield University, part of the Defence Academy of the United Kingdom. [2]

He was previously Director of the International Centre for Security Analysis, and Senior Research Fellow in the International Policy Institute, within the War Studies Group of King's College London.

Durodié was educated at Imperial College London where he gained a BSc in Physics, the London School of Economics, where he got an MSc in Economics which takes two years where students 'first degree did not specialise in economics.'[3] and New College Oxford. In 2007 he was reportedly 'awarded a PhD by Public Works from Middlesex University'.[4]

He is a Fellow of the Royal Society for the Arts (FRSA), an Associate Fellow of Chatham House (the Royal Institute of International Affairs), an Associate of the Royal College of Science (ARCS), a Member of the Society for Risk Analysis, and an Advisory Forum Member of the Scientific Alliance.

Official biography

From the Battle of Ideas biography in 2007:[5]:

Bill Durodié is Senior Lecturer in Risk and Corporate Security at Cranfield University. He was previously Director of the International Centre for Security Analysis, and Senior Research Fellow in the International Policy Institute, within the 5* Research Assessment Exercise rated War Studies Group of King's College London.
His main research interest is into the causes and consequences of our contemporary consciousness of risk. He is also interested in examining the erosion of expertise, the demoralisation of élites, the limitations of risk management, and the growing demand to engage the public in dialogue and decision-making in relation to science.
Bill was educated at Imperial College, the London School of Economics, and New College, Oxford. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society for the Arts (FRSA), an Associate Fellow of Chatham House (the Royal Institute of International Affairs), an Associate of the Royal College of Science (ARCS), a Member of the Society for Risk Analysis, and an Advisory Forum Member of the Scientific Alliance.
His work has appeared and been commented on in a wide range of publications, and he is regularly requested to provide expert commentary for television and radio broadcasts. Bill featured in the BAFTA award-winning BBC documentary series produced by Adam Curtis, The Power Of Nightmares: The Rise of the Politics of Fear.

Career

Communicating the war on terror

Durodie is a Senior Research Fellow & Project Co-ordinator for the Domestic Management of Terrorist Attacks Programme, at the Centre for Defence Studies, which is part of the International Policy Institute at King's College London.[10] He also says he has, 'Worked as a European advisor within both the private and public sectors, including a secondment to the Government Office for London'.

On behalf of King's College London, Durodie organised the conference, "Communicating the War on Terror"[11], which took place at the Royal Institution in June 2003. Among those chairing sessions at the two-day event were Fiona Fox (director of the Science Media Centre) and Bruno Waterfield.[12]

Like Durodie, Fiona Fox and Bruno Waterfield have been contributors to the magazine LM, formerly Living Marxism . Among the conference speakers were Frank Furedi, Phil Hammond, Michael Fitzpatrick and Mick Hume, all of whom connect to LM and the Revolutionary Communist Party out of which it emerged. Another LM contributor, Ellen Raphael, the Assistant Director of Sense About Science, assisted Durodié with organising the event.

The fact that all these people had long term connections to each other and have been part of the same extreme political network does not appear to have been disclosed to those attending the conference. It can hardly be considered irrelevant given that the Revolutionary Communist Party, contributors to LM/Living Marxism , and the RCP's front group, the Irish Freedom Movement, which Fiona Fox at one time headed, all supported the 'armed struggle' in Northern Ireland, and refused to condemn any of the acts of terror of the IRA. They also, after the IRA announced their ceasefire, opposed the peace process and LM provided a platform for dissident republican views in articles written by Fox (under her alias Fiona Foster).

Durodie himself frequently cites the RCP's chief ideologist, Frank Furedi, in his publications, and has contributed to all the network's main platforms: LM, Spiked and the Institute of Ideas.

Many of Durodie's papers have been published by far-right think tanks, eg the Competitive Enterprise Institute (Poisonous Propaganda) and the European Science and Environment Forum (Poisonous Dummies), or by Living Marxism network connected groups, eg the Institute of Ideas (Can we trust the experts?) and Audacity.org (Society loses when the polluter is made to pay).
