You could literally say the same about any special interest group in any country.

Me too, but the difference is that you don't see me thinking I know anything about UK politics or special interest groups.

I don't need to join a meeting to criticize what the organization setting up that meetings is widely publicizing as a treatment for a medical condition (addiction) when what they publicize is obvious religious nonsense.
I also don't join spirit healing conventions for cancer patients or homeopathic sales events to criticize those.
