This was quoted in the last issue of Private Eye and I thought it was too good not to pass on.

"Reincarnation Therapy is a valid method of getting the long term unemployed back to work" Social Affairs councillor Luc Winants told reporters in Maastrict." The idea is that a ten week course of regression therapy will help welfare claimants to come to terms with with their past lives and regain their balance, and this will help them to find jobs.The scheme is still in its early stages, but in the future long term unemployed Dutch citizens may be required to undergo past-life regression or risk losing their welfare benefits"

Perhaps we should be grateful that we only have PCA medicals!

JC+ staff regret offering regression therapy to civil war re-enactors.

Great picture! It made me wonder if what you did in previous life could be used for the 'own occupation' test.
For example; "My therapist says I was Gengis Khan in a previous life and I have a med cert that says I am no longer well enough to lay waste to half the known world so I qualify for IB. I was a self-employed emperor so I don't get any SSP"
