God help us our new health minister supports homeopathy!

Post by Rum » Wed Sep 05, 2012 5:18 pm

Mericans may not be aware but with the return of Parliament after the summer break there is traditionally a cabinet reshuffle. I.E. the team around the Prime Minister, who basically make up the core of the government get swapped around, sacked and such by him.

One of the changes made is to the Minister of Health, who has overall charge of our National Health Service.

Tuns out he (Jeremy Hunt) supports homeopathy. :fp:

Given that this is that jackass Hunt, his support for magic is the least of the problems.

He has the ability to smile under a great deal of pressure. I'm sure that was his main qualification for the job.

Thing is, if you need someone who isn't an unmitigated cunt to be the Health Secretary and your pool of candidates is restricted to Tory MPs, you're in a bit of a bind.

I would have thought that besides the ability to grin under pressure being an unmitigated cunt is a close second as far as qualifying for cabinet membership is concerned. One can hardly imagine the nest of poisonous vipers those meetings must be!

The NHS is making too many people live an appalling expensive existance with meds that may prolong quantity of life at the expensive of quality. Surely water and a quick death is a improvement on six months or a year of agony? The only people to lose out are the big pharmacutical companies. :fp:

Homeopathy, when properly applied can permanently cure criminal behavior.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

As far as homeopathy goes: When they found Hitler's bunker, they should have saved some Hitler molecules. For homeopathic exorcisms. Even cremated Hitler would do.

You didn't need to tell me that he supported telepathy. I already knew that.
