He can believe in it if he wishes, but the NHS has enough to stretch the money round without that.

He is passionate homeopathy. Any GN's have a view on homeopathy?

His constituents keep returning him so he must be doing something right. Perhaps there is a large Astrological community there smile.

But surely Anniethey wouldn't rely on to diagnose or cure their ills?

What is the matter with the voters of Bosworth?

There are many people who believe in Astrology as strongly as atheists believe there is no god and those of faiths believe there is a God

I am one, who every Saturday, reads my horoscope in the magazine which comes with our newspaper.There are not many weeks go by when my career is going to take off with spectacular succcess. At 77, I wish!!
Seriously the man is deranged and I'm surprised the press publishes such stories ,unless of course to prove just how mad he is.

Oh dear, that's quiet worrying.

Wish it were- he has form. Vets, surgeons etc have all criticised him for his whacky views- it would be funny if it weren't so serious

Don't think I could face his Wiki page grin only so much a girl can take before breakfast.

Politicians with snouts in trough, war-mongering, venality, cosying-up with dictators ...... I can deal with that, but ASTROLOGY?, FFS!

This has to be a wind-up. For heaven's sake!

GrannyTwice Wed 25-Feb-15 08:48:43

Read his wiki entry for more!! Unbelievable!

Thought I'd woken up on April 1st when I read this.

NHS

I can't believe that an MP who is on the Health Select Committee as well as a committee for science and technology is advocating astrology for the NHS. shock

It can't be true - I must have misread!
