That filibustering is a disgrace and they all do it. The parliamentary procedures seem like a relic, little decisions and changes, small corruptions and mistakes over decades christ over centuries making a system of convoluted shite. I read caroline lucas book and how she describes Westminister is absurd.

 

And why the fuck do they get subsidised alcohol cheeky cunts.

Phillip Davies "MP" at it again today, with his unusually long parliamentary speeches to try and filibuster bills on the prevention of animal cruelty and to tackle domestic violence.

 

Utter cunt of a "man"

 

I would quite like to dress him up as big fox and set a pack of hounds on the cunt.

Tories - convince me you're not bonkers.

 

OK, admittedly this is from the Guardian, so they're unlikely to look favourably on this and they may have cherry-picked the quotes to make him look bad, but still I can't help thinking that once a person convinces themself that trickle-down economics is real, then they are open to any old irrational guff.

A Conservative MP has claimed that astrology could have “a role to play in healthcare”.

 

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.

 

“Ninety per cent of pregnant French women use homeopathy. Astrology is a useful diagnostic tool enabling us to see strengths and weaknesses via the birth chart.

 

“And, yes, I have helped fellow MPs. I do foresee that one day astrology will have a role to play in healthcare.”

 

Mr Tredinnick, 65, added: “Astrology offers self-understanding to people. People who oppose what I say are usually bullies who have never studied astrology.

 

“Astrology was until modern times part of the tradition of medicine ... People such as Professor Brian Cox, who called astrology ‘rubbish’, have simply not studied the subject.

 

“The BBC is quite dismissive of astrology and seeks to promote the science perspective and seems always keen to broadcast criticisms of astrology.”

 

Opposition to astrology is driven by “superstition, ignorance and prejudice”, he said. “It tends to be based on superstition, with scientists reacting emotionally, which is always a great irony.

 

“They are also ignorant, because they never study the subject and just say that it is all to do with what appears in the newspapers, which it is not, and they are deeply prejudiced, and racially prejudiced, which is troubling.”

Can we include religion in this too?

 

Of course your leader likes a bit of homeopathy.
