The Enemies of Reason

Charlie Brooker gives good angry:

If you want comforting, suck your thumb. Buy a pillow. Don’t make up a load of floaty blah about energy or destiny. This is the real world, stupid. We should be solving problems, not sticking our fingers in our ears and singing about fairies. Everywhere you look, screaming gittery is taking root, with serious consequences. The NHS recently spent £10m refurbishing the London Homeopathic Hospital. The equivalent of 500 nurses’ wages, blown on a handful of magic beans. That was your tax money. It was meant for saving lives.

Monday, Channel 4, 8 o’clock.

    The real sadness of course is that if we’d spent 10 pence then it would have worked so much better.

    I just embarrassed myself at work with a squawk of laughter. That joke never gets old, ever.
