God damn! I can't believe this guy would say that publicly! Here in the US it would be political suicide (unless you are Dennis Kucinich). Does this Tory have a penchant for saying and doing stupid stuff? I've never heard of him before but there are plenty of eccentric MP's, it goes with the territory I think. We are well used to the idea that the country is run by incompetent, scientifically illiterate maniacs in the pockets of lobbying and special interest groups. I'd rather he believed in astrology than spent public money supporting Zionism for instance. Though he might do both I suppose... There used to be loads more crazy parties but Maggie Thatcher increased the amount it cost to stand to Parliament to put them off as she thought they cheapened the whole political process. I think they joined the major parties which explains our star-crazed friend here, or formed UKIP and the Natural Law Party. We really were crazy. I didn't vote for NLP even when I worked there. Other parties, like the Greens, were happy with us because it took the heat off them, compared to us they looked positively electable. Even The Monster Raving Loony Party couldn't top our promise to improve coherence in collective consciousness by jumping around in our pyjamas. It takes a genius to think of that! To go back to an earlier conversation, this story s the sort of thing the TMO will send out a press release about. He will have been contacted by the media office with sheafs of information about vedic astrology and how he's a fool for using the inferior western kind. It's what I used to do!

It seems that Britain's ruling class have a secret penchant for asking the stars for advice and some even believe it's the missing link in healthcare. Those stupid scientists just don't understand it apparently. My favourite quote here is that astrology may not stand up to scrutiny but is based on thousands of years of observations. But majority of those were observing the wrong number of planets.... Also interesting is the claim that criticism of astrology is racism! Sounds like a desperate gambit to me. This is the march of the idiocracy. We'll be back in the stone age before we know it.
