Guest guest Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Dear Members, I am very happy to share this information news clip, hoping that would address the worst part of Low Quality Astrologers making tall claims, bringing dis-respect to astrology. There are many a astrologers with fake ids, doubtful background and questionable knowledge, causing havoc in other . Source - Time of India, 27-May-2008, New Delhi Edition Soothsayers face the heat in UK London: Psychics and occultists based in UK or those who come visiting from India can be taken to the court if their numerous predictions like of love and good fortune don't materialise. New consumer protection regulations come into force today, bringing Britain in line with similar rules across the European Union. Britain has a flourishing "spiritual industry" with soothsayers earning £40 million every year, a large component of which is derived from people from the Indian sub-continent. The new rules are aimed at tackling everything from aggressive sales tactics by rogue builders to bogus closing down sales. Fortune-tellers and astrologers are required by the rules to say their services are for "entertainment only" and are not "experimentally proven". Fortune-tellers will have to put up a disclaimer on a board outside. Similar disclaimers will need to be posted on the websites of faith healers, spiritualists or mediums where appropriate, as well as on invoices and at the top of any printed terms and conditions. If this "entertainment only" nature of their services is not made clear before sessions with clients, the `babas' and `tantriks' can be taken to court and will then be liable for a prison sentence and a fine.
