The bit I have trouble with are those who seek to make a commercial gain from what I believe is nothing other than pure quackery. Fair enough if people want to buy into the concept.
But I made the first post because I was incensed that the Beeb has an Astrologer on SW show every week and they just make pathetic generalisations. You and me are paying in some small way for these peoples' appearances.
I don't buy into the 'It's just a bit of harmless fun' argument simply because there is no caveat before the item saying:
The following item is tosh and designed as a bit of fun. Yet people phone in and ask these so-called experts for potentially life-changing advice about relationships, emigration, jobs etc. and then seem to lap up the cack that these chancers spout as 'genuine' answers.
It beggars belief.
