A parent commenting on a mobile phone mast on a school:
“And whose bright idea was it to place a mast on a school? It’s disgraceful as there is still a lot of uncertainty around the safety of these antennas.”

Exactly how much uncertainty is there regarding the electromagnetic spectrum?

Should we just give up, go back to stone tools? Oh crap, but stones emit radiation... Wood tools? No, that would emit carbon. No tools? But we're surrounded by rock and soil and plant and animals, all emitting poisons and radiation and evil! And the sun! My word, how much radiation comes off the sun! More than earth has ever produced. Quickly, we must jettison ourselves into deep space, away from sources of energy. Oh no, we would need oxygen - oxygen destroys cells... Bother.

More phone madness

Oh my, think of the children!

When they switch the mobile phone mast on, 99% of mothers who saw one episode of Horizon dubbed into American when they were on holiday in Florida say that it will form miniature black holes that will grow to destroy the earth!

Ignorance: it's fun when it's a thousand miles away. But put it in my back yard, and I'll be complaining.

I don't have a mobile signal while I'm sitting at work, and I've seen 3G on my iPhone only once - when I deliberately stopped in a city centre to try it out. And it's partly because of these cavemen (and partly because O2 are pathetic, but I have yet to have a proper rant about that).
