Begins with Mast, ends with Asian

One might think that everyone knew already that the health risks from mobile phone masts are negligible (well, one might fall over on top of you I s'pose). Still, yet another study demonstrating it does no harm.

After all, Mast Sanity managed to come out with the following gem on being presented with evidence that the sufferers symptoms were unrelated to whether the signal was on or off (bit of a giveaway, you might think):

"History has shown that many now commonly accepted physical conditions were initially dismissed as psychological. Isn't it time that the government woke up to the reality of electrosensitivity instead of attempting to persuade sufferers that it is all in their minds?" said spokeswoman Yasmin Skelt.

This would be the "reality" that has just been comprehensively disproved, would it not?

Yasmin Skelt, you get the Eine Kleine Nichtmusik Nutter of the Year 2007 nomination (so far at least) in your capacity as spokesplonker for Mast Sanity. It isn't just mobile phones they hate: it's wireless laptops and wifi networks, railway signalling transmitters: pretty much any kind of radio really appears the get the blame for all kinds of human illness AND Colony Collapse Disorder among bees.

You wait: it'll be MRI scanners next, and air traffic control radar.

I blame globalisation. I mean, a few years ago people like Ms Skelt and her colleagues would have been gainfully employed in smashing power-looms and spinning jennies, but now they've all been replaced by millions of starving Asian peasant doing the jobs by hand, where's a technophobe to swing his sledgehammer now?
