The man who said that Homeopathy should have a place on the NHS as it compliments science based medicine as they both come from organic matter has attended his first Chemistry lesson this weekend.
Jeremy attended the class through an OU initiative run in partnership with Rochdale College. Professor Frederick Seddon said, “We just covered some basic concepts like molarity and Avogadro’s Constant and the definitions of solutions. It’s really just to break people in easily. Next week we’ll get him to do a titration. Hopefully the practical aspects will reinforce the idea to Jeremy that homeopathy is plain nonsense and shouldn’t have a place in science based medicine.”
A Labour spokesman said, “Jeremy found the lesson very instructive. In the past he has been misunderstood. By saying that homeopathy should be available on the NHS he wasn’t endorsing it more giving space to an alternative opinion. In the Labour Party we believe that all opinions have equal merit no matter how hair-brained or demonstrably wrong they are.”
Professor Seddon told us, “He seemed quite confused over the word, organic. Hopefully he’ll stick with the course long enough to attend the Organic Chemistry module in January. He might stop just throwing the word around like it has no meaning that way.”
The President of Homeopathy for the UK told us, “There is no evidence that Homeopathy doesn’t work except for the massive lack of any evidence that shows it does.”
Elsewhere, there are allegations that a caterer who catered a Momentum party actually watered down the alcohol available at the bar. A spokesman for the bar told us, “At the end of the day this is totally wrong. The additional water complimented the alcohol. They’re both derived from organic matter after all.”
It’s understood that Momentum will have the bar owner tried and hung from a lamp post as all filthy Blairite red Tories deserve.
