Is that taxpayer’s money being wasted (again)?

We all know that the mechanisms that psychics use are based on lying to people, fooling people, to fraudulently represent what they are doing. So I am at a loss to explain why the government knowingly awarded cash to “self styled” mediums Paul Rees and Deborah Rees. If anything, in my opinion, those who claim they are “real” psychics or mediums should be treated as criminals.

Skeptico http://skeptico.blogs.com/skeptico/2009/03/i-claim-my-government-cash.html has a report from The Telegraph http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/5054558/Psychics-given-4500-government-funding-to-teach-people-to-communicate-with-the-dead.html with further details.

On a related note, watch the disgraceful behaviour from Silvia Browne and Montel Williams…
