Psychics Get Government Grant To Talk With the Dead
Paul and Deborah Rees have been given government funding to teach people how to "communicate with the dead." The couple, from Bridgend, south Wales, got £4,500 under the Government's Want2Work job creation program. The mediums insist the "mere £4,500" of public money will be put to good use at their center, the Accolade Academy of Psychic and Mediumistic Studies. Mr Rees said, "People who have lost mums and dads or a child deserve all the respect in the world in their grieving, and they deserve a medium who can give them respect. Our job is to provide substantial evidence to bring ease to people's grieving — and that's what I would say to people who query the award." Wait, it's coming to me....I see a queue of Alchemists waiting at the Want2Work grant office.
diluted and stupid.
Deluded is the word you were looking for btw.
vultures prying into people's pain, thats what they are. govs involvement into this is just another proof of the kind of person our politicians are. specially when the economy is thigh. sure a few grand aren't such a waste when talking about govs money and the pound was never so low, but the insult is just the same as if were a few millions or a few bucks. my 2 cents
