Sometimes I Actually Approve of Our Legislators
The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee have just published a report in which they recommend that the NHS stop funding homeopathy forthwith, state that there is no good evidence that it works beyond the placebo effect, that enough research has been done to make this clear and no more government money should be spent on testing it, and that homeopathic concoctions must not have labelling that suggests they can cure anything.

It also accuses the Government of double standards on this issue.
Naturally, homeopaths everywhere are enraged. I like that too.
Now, if only we could stop Universities offering degree courses on woo - I'm looking at you, Thames Valley.
