Use Astrology To Save Britain's Health System, Says MP

Posted by Soulskill on from the gullible-like-a-capricorn dept.

An anonymous reader writes: An MP from the governing Conservative Party has said that using astrology could radically improve the performance of Britain's National Health Service and that its opponents are "racially prejudiced" and driven by "superstition, ignorance and prejudice." David Treddinick even claims he has "helped" fellow legislators through astrology.

    At first, I have failed to see the common ground between homeopathy and astrology - these two sentences sounded completely unrelated. But they are actually related - it says

    I blame the people that voted him in. Politicians are the result, voters are the cause.
