    Klewso, Are you aware of the health dangers of switch mode power supplies? All modern electronic equipment uses this high frequency rectifier type of system because it is is cheaper and more compact than the older low frequency rectifier system. It results in large amounts of radio frequency pollution around the device.

    This is where fossils like the females on the opposition front wench could come in handy. The Minister for not pulling a face when the wind changes could probably recall these same arguments being used to stop the introduction of electricity when she was teenager.
    She probably still has her first steam driven personal “massager”; and remembers the thrill of the first time she used the new fangled electric one and all the lights in the North Shore dimmed.

    Amazing how there is a simple, single cure for all these ailments – $$$.
    Equally odd is that no-one who has contracted to have one of Devil Devices on their property suffers any ill effect, except from disgruntled neighbours.

    Speaking as a holder of shares in Infigen, a wind energy company doing very badly because of stuff like this putting people off renewal energy, this was the funniest cartoon I have seen in a long time. Love the drawings.
