The above Act gave legal status to Spirituality, and the government is now planning to repeal it. As a consequence, any client could accuse their medium of being fraudulent if they don't feel they are hearing the 'truth'. There are frauds in every walk of life, including mainstream medicine, politics, law, teaching, etc. There are also fraudulent mediums, but I thought under British law, you were innocent until proven guilty. How do you prove a medium to be right or wrong? Whatever happened to applying adult judgement as a customer?

If you wish to protest about it, there is a Downing Street e-petition at:

I feel there is an increasing trend towards the establishment trying to restrict anything they don't understand or can't prove in their linear, Newtonian minds. Just look at the reaction by the medical profession towards homeopathy in the last year, for example.

If you want our liberties to be protected, stand up for them.

This seems to be another dot in the joined up line of backlash of all things metaphysical, mentioned in the thread in 'current events'. The powers that be seem to want to suppress this, but the odd thing is that the man in the street does not, from what I can tell. Dark goings on.

I've been looking into this a bit more, which was first reported several months ago.

See here for more of an explanation of what it might entail.

Also the govt's petition site.

Thanks, Helen - that's very interesting. There are undoubtedly a fair number of fraudulent mediums out there, and making things more difficult for them wouldn't be a bad thing.

I just wonder how the genuine mediums can protect themselves from fraudulent claims from clients who don't hear what they want to hear? Do they ask for disclaimers to be signed by the client, for example?
