David Tredinnick, Tory MP, Urges NHS Doctors To Use Astrology To Treat Patients

[Northerner]

A Tory MP has urged the NHS to use astrology to treat its patients, while branding anyone that doesn’t believe in it "racist" (that’s astrology – as in the belief that there is a relationship between astronomical phenomena and events in the human world).

David Tredinnick said on Tuesday that divination has a "role to play in healthcare" and that employing prophecy in 21st century medicine would "take huge pressure off doctors". In an interview with the Astrological Journal, the MP for Bosworth in Leicestershire said: "I do believe that astrology and complementary medicine would help take the huge pressure off doctors."

I do believe that astrology and complementary medicine would help take the huge pressure off doctors.

In a sense, that's probably true; the pressure on GPs would be greatly relieved if most of their patients die young, through relying on mystical nonsense and sugar pills instead of proper medicine. 😱🙄

Sounds like this man needs some medical help himself - something wrong with his brain.
