    When it comes to personal motivations, Flynn supposedly knows Richard Lynn well, I don't. When it comes to Lynn's work, I have a fair amount of criticism.

    For example, a comment from a previous thread:

Childhood iodine deficiency can lower IQ as much as 13 points; 80% of Ethiopians are iodine deficient. One would assume this would be worse for children raised in a refugee camp.

    To the OP. He is a racist. Whether or not someone has the right to be an advisor to the PM is up to the PM. That the PM sacked AS and not DC isn't an issue of deserves or not, but an issue of do you believe the PM should be able to choose and remove their own advisors according to whatever calculus they see fit. I do.
