A newspaper report giving a comment from the company who market this brain-numbing drivel says that they will not reduce the amount of advertising as it is successful! This is despite hundreds of complaints to the ASA - some saying that people are turning their TV's off because they cannot bear to hear the sound of that ad. I think this is proof that minds are being affected and a folk tale springs to mind - The Pied Piper???? Where are our kids being lead?

We really should be calling for a national move to take the phones off our children in view of the chilling scenes recently shown on TV news regarding "happy slapping", and constant reports of muggings and violence surrounding mobile phones.

I have just e-mailed Sir W (copy to Beverley Hughes), calling for urgent action to address the problem of mobile phones and children. A failing in this duty will surely cause the health tsunami we have recently been warned of.
