David Tredinnick said astrology, along with complementary medicine, could take pressure off NHS doctors, but acknowledged that any attempt to spend taxpayers’ money on consulting the stars would cause “a huge row”.
He criticised the BBC and TV scientist Professor Brian Cox for taking a “dismissive” approach to astrology, and accused opponents of being “racially prejudiced”.
The MP for Bosworth, in Leicestershire, who is a Capricorn and in 2010 paid back £755 he had claimed in expenses for software that used astrology to diagnose medical conditions, told Astrological Journal: “I do believe that astrology and complementary medicine would help take the huge pressure off doctors.

The NHS needs to be cleansed of privatisation, funded according to its need, not according to some arbitrary amount that the government falsely believes is affordable, it needs its cost structure regulated so that companies may not charge it the obscene amount they do to supply it with basic things, like pharmaceutical products, equipment, uniforms, vehicles, and so on.

While I agree that the particular politician in question is most certainly a complete moron, and should not be left in control of anything more important than a teabag, I hardly think it is fair to poke fun at our American cousins, or indeed burden them with such a specimen. It was bad enough we sent Piers Morgan over there... that MUST have been a psyop to divide our nations against one another!

I guess it is all part of the "war on science" or whatever - but why is it that it seems conservatives all over the world are at the forefront of pushing mythology, assertion and ignorance??

It simply boils down to the conservatives want to cut every service, to they can give the money saved to the greedy bankers.
And while we are looking at the stars and blaming foreigners and the unemployed and the disabled for the state of the world, they continue to point at as all and laugh as they get away with the greatest crime of modern times. Possibly all time. The deification of a piece of paper called money.
Kleptocracy, alternatively cleptocracy or kleptarchy, (from Greek: κλέπτης - kleptēs, "thief" and κράτος - kratos, "power, rule", hence "rule by thieves") is a form of political and government corruption where the government exists to increase the personal wealth and political power of its officials and the ruling class at the expense of the wider population, often with pretense of honest service.

To understand the theory of Astrology one first has to acknowledge the existence of hitherto by modern science unknown subtle energies and that our consciousness is involved in a reciprocal relationship with a responsive environment that could be described as living.
