The Government's new science minister has raised eyebrows after he says he believes he has a 'sixth sense' to predict the future, it was revealed today.
Lord Drayson said he was one of the humans with a 'capability' that experts did not fully understand.
Although the peer does not claim his powers of foresight are paranormal, the comments may raise a few eyebrows among the community he represents.
Extra-sensory abilities are not commonly accepted to exist by scientists.
In an interview with The Sunday Times, Lord Drayson said: 'In my life there have been some things I have known, and I don't know why.
'I think there is a lot we don't understand about human capability.'
Pursuing his point, the peer cites Blink, the best-selling American book about human instinct by Malcolm Gladwell. The tome identified cases of individuals with the apparent power to foretell events.
Oh some bits from Wikipedia on our fortune telling Science Minister: In 2002 PowderJect was awarded a £32 million government smallpox vaccine contract without competition shortly after Paul Drayson donated £50,000 to the Labour Party Following a Parliamentary enquiry no improper activity was identified.
There were also unrefuted allegations that his company knowingly sold to the National Health Service several batches of BCG tuberculosis vaccine that failed to "meet the end of shelf-life potency criteria", in other words were stale and ineffective, risking the health of their recipients.
Following his elevation to the House of Lords, made a working peer entitled Baron Drayson, of Kensington... In May 2004, he gave the Labour Party another £500,000, raising allegations that his peerage had been "bought".
A vote for Labour is a vote for new age tree hugging loons. It doesn't take a fortune teller to smell sleaze...
**Maybe if I called him a cunt could he have predicted that?
2 people have spoken:
I predict he won't be the last Labour politician that you'll call a "cant"! :-P
There are just so so many of them to abuse :-)
