Mediums Act Repeal

"Shss! He getting advice from Ramsay MacDonald"

Nothing to do with divorce, but I liked this caption on Peter Barnett's post, Psychic New Labour, yesterday. It was related to a protest march on Downing Street by fortune-tellers, mediums and spiritual healers protesting against new laws which will remove key legal protection for "genuine" mediums. About time the Fraudulent Mediums Act 1951 was repealed, given the psychic industry is big business and it exploits some vulnerable people with claims for which there is no scientific evidence. The newspapers have had a field day suggesting spiritualists should have seen it coming.
