getting fired for stating the facts

(Oct 30, 2009: The UK government's top drugs adviser Prof David Nutt, of England's Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) was sacked (fired) because he stated that cannabis is "less harmful than alcohol or nicotine", after the drug had been upgraded to the more toughly prosecuted Class B from Class C, against scientific evidence.)

Nutt sack

(vt). To reject and demonise one who, when asked, offers scientific advice contrary to the agenda of the PTB (govt, industry). Commonplace in oppressive/fundamentalist regimes such as UK, USA, etc. From Professor David Nutt's sacking in November 2009.

"I gave them the report they asked for, but they Nutt sacked me! Now I have to move to Bolivia and find alternative work"
