We also ask you to: 1. Demand independent research into this “FUNCTIONAL IMPAIRMENT CAUSED BY ENVIRONMENTAL TRIGGER” – which does have a distinguishing feature from other illnesses/conditions with similar symptoms i.e. the ES/EHS CAN AND DO recover if they are isolated from the cause(s) of the sensitivity.

2. Demand monitoring by personnel trained or researching in this field who are aware of the effects of pulsed microwave radiation/electricity.

3 Ensure that the Human Rights of the ES/EHS are observed fully and recognise electro-sensitivity as a disability in the UK, as in Canada and Sweden. 4 Provide safe zones so that the ES/EHS have places to recover/live in OR replace pulsed microwave radiation with a safer technology.

Andrew: For crying out loud. This condition is entirely made up. And yet 73 idiots, including a couple who’ve included their degree credentials, want to see the government spend millions fighting it.

Stop the commercial sale of flu vaccinations. Keep it for the at risk groups only such as the elderly and those with medical conditions. The overuse by hypochondriacs will lead to resistant strains. Companies like Boots buying up the supply often means GP surgeries can’t get the jabs in time to be effective.

Andrew: No, you’re thinking of antibiotics. Do you see any ‘resistant’ strains of smallpox? Measles? Mumps? Tetanus? Polio? Tuberculosis? Rubella? No, you do not.

I propose the government, instead of paying for and/or helping with the costs of loft insulation,cavity wall insulation,double-glazed windows,etc., installs solar panels for heating, hot water and all electrical appliances within the home. (I already have double-glazing, loft insulation and wall cavity insulation and it does not make the slightest bit of difference to my energy bills – I still pay over £1,000 per year for my 2 bed terrace – and thats before the prices started to rise. How many of you are finding the same?) This will be more economical and a safer alternative to fossil fuels or nuclear power in the long run. for the disabled, long-term sick, the elderly and parents of young children, all single parents with children under the age of 18 years and all council tenants out of work, for the government to fund this installation, at no cost to the tenant/home owner. For those who work, means test them as to how much they could put towards the cost… implementing a repayment scheme for the installation of the solar panels.

Andrew: You’ve just arbitrarily decided that your way is best, haven’t you?

And my favourite science fail on the whole site…

the move for longer daylight hours for the next coming years sounds quite a good and excelant idea especially for all out goers with learning disabilities, that likes to get out much more during the summer months.

this country will also be benefitting a lot more with longer daylight hours for the next coming years if it can mean a three year experimental, or trial period to begin with at first.

there will be a referendum taking place down in jersey a week this wednesday coming up on october the 15th 2008 about some of the islanders voting for the move for longer daylight hours.

if the channel islands go ahead with the move for longer daylight hours, then we in england should follow suite as well.

Andrew: Dear Government, we need another Sun.

Ben: Leave the sun on for longer? Do you know how much it costs to leave it on during the day as it is? We’re not *made* of money! Get off my back!

Gneekman reckons:

Dear Government,
Please slow the Earth’s rotation. I’m sure the effects can only be positive.

Andrew reckons:

Then clearly you’ve never seen The Core. The effects could be disastrous: for one thing, Jon Amiel might make a film about it.

Ben reckons:

Wasn’t the Earth’s rotation suddenly coming to a halt also the premise for the fictional “Scorcher” series of movies seen in “Tropic Thunder”?

Gneekman reckons:

The Core is such a deliciously awful movie. I love the horrible, horrible science presented therein.

Paul Varley reckons:

Actually, we’re not far away from having a strain of TB that’s resistant to all the antibiotics we can throw at it.

Andrew reckons:

That’s because of having not enough vaccination, though, isn’t it?

November 21, 2008 at 10:10 am


PaulPower reckons:

Well it’s a mix of the two really (not enough vaccination, overuse of antibiotics, and use of antibiotics as prevention (really the role of vaccines) rather than cure)
