"Invest in tin foil  "
Does that work?
Knowing these Muppets over here in the UK, they'll be setting off Alerts for all sorts of bollocks reasons, a tree falling over 300 miles away from me nonsense |

"It's an early warning system. You can disable it if you don't want to be warned of floods, fires etc"
Or even a runaway haggis rumbling down princess street in Edinburgh... 200 fookin miles away from me   |

"Planned for years, it's great it's been tested. It was very low key on my phone. "
Yes, nowhere near as loud and alarming as I was expecting.
I got a second surprise one as I was driving. Presumably I went into a different zone and got theirs too. |

Eight of us in our house today. Five phones went off at 14.59.
One went off at 15.01 and then again about 10 minutes later. The other two didn't go off at all. All similar phones and nothing turned off at all. Puzzled! |

It's just about ramping up the fear again. There was an article in a broadsheet newspaper a few days ago suggesting that Russia is preparing to attack the UK, obviously another security service plant.
Probably because of the military leaks in the US that reveal that Ukraine isn't winning after all, surprisingly. They need to ramp up the fear index to push us back to being compliant. |

Were we not compliant before? We must be one of the most docile countries in the world. |

You know this test was originally scheduled long before Russia invaded the Ukraine, but was postponed due to covid........

The alerts will be sent out in the area that the alert is relevant to. It gets pushed to the cells in area that the alert is for. Today was a national test. When a damn was about to burst in hebden bridge it would have been useful to send an alert to everyone in the area. |

" weeve gothis far without it why do we need it now ohhh no is big brother watching again"
It's a broadcast message picked up by a phone. Nothing is sent back from your phone to the network...how is anyone watching via a broadcast message? |

Could the act of acknowledging the test be enough to startup a hidden spying malware app? Western governments are paranoid enough to stop civil servants from using Chinese made phones for business and government use. It's hardly 22nd century tech! |

I love how you opened with "Could the act of acknowledging the test be enough to startup a hidden spying malware app?"
And followed up with "Western governments are paranoid......."

For me it's the idea that 'they' are able to sneak hidden spyware onto every phone in the country, but they need the user to press a button to start it. |

Hmm did you ever think that it's a ruse. Odd that the leak came right at the most opportune time. Hell the UK took a body dressed it up in a officer uniform with " Top-secret" documents and threw him in the channel. The Germans fell for the disinformation.  |

You think I'm daft enough to buy into a conspiracy theory that says a government wants to know the content of everyone's emails, texts, phonecalls and whereabouts??? Why would they? They're happy enough for us to spy on ourselves and grass each other up because we're being "good citizens"! You don't need tech to monitor people. |

Anyone notice that while the contract was originally awarded to Fujitsu, they then sub contracted it to Infosys. The company founded by Rishi Sunak’s father-in-law that his wife has a large shareholding in (held offshore in Mauritius to avoid tax in India). |

The Tories couldn't even organise a discreet wine + cheese party without a national scandal, so anything more sophisticated is a bit far fetched. |

CORRECTION - Infosys were not involved. My mistake hands up!
A government spokesperson told Full Fact: “This is completely untrue - there are no connections with Infosys in the running of the Emergency Alerts system.”
A spokesperson for Infosys also said: “Infosys has not been involved, directly or indirectly, in the creation of the UK government emergency alert system.” |

Possibly. The corruption (goes way further than nepotism) makes me angry. They have st0len our money in broad daylight and yet I see people defending them. The whole non-dom, green card, offshore trust, awarding of significant taxpayer funds to failing companies they have an interest in, development of govt policy that benefits companies they have an interest in etc just leaves a very bad taste.
Also the sheer hypocrisy around Infosys, a company (yes an Indian company) that continues to trade in Russia despite British companies being told by Sunak to stop trading in Russia. Guess which company has benefitted from British tech firms withdrawing? And who benefits if profits at Infosys go up? Not illegal but doesn’t strike me as ethical.
Some people on here see that as me being partisan or anti-tory when in fact I am just anti-corruption and blatant exploitation of the rules for personal gain at expense of taxpayers. |

I know how you feel about it because you don't mince your words.
What I personally see here is just a rant against Sunak/Murthy when the thread has nothing to do with them. See it on the other thread too where they were also falsely accused.
Just about everything you have said here has been discussed at length on individual topics. |

Both our personal phones are on Three so we and they didn't goofy. Hibby's work phone uses Vodaphone and that didn't work either.
That said we were staying in Manchester that day and did notice signal where we were was utterly appalling. |

Well I can’t turn back the clock (or edit old posts) and held my hands up over the Infosys claim. The rest was in response to you rather than a rant which implies a lack of consideration which clearly isn’t the case |
