#LincolnMA was subjected to hostile corporate bullying by the likes of Enbridge, with its blindsiding order to obey or else, with the added insult of acting as if Lincoln has never had legal standing in the suit, on its own conservation easement, and thus must comply with less than 48 hour "emergency" notice of being given the agreement to sign.

"On his website, Gill says: "I'm not saying that I know that Lucy Letby is innocent. As a scientist, I am saying that this case is a major #MiscarriageOfJustice.
