I'm thinking 7/7 in London, also where that manic with the machete was looseAny thoughts on its efficacy?Purpose?
Not sure why we need one other than to warn is that we are about to get shit loads of trouble coming our way.
When did we need anything like this but didn’t have the technology?
It’s an age thing. We didn’t get it and 2 people in Rugby who are Baby Boomers didn’t. So the master plan is working!Some phone owners didn't get the notification.
What I deduced from all that was that we have all been put through a selection process and those who received the alarm, will get to survive a nuclear attack and those who didn't, will die.
After all, if they didn't get the notification, they will be oblivious to the fact that they have 3 minutes to run for cover.
Genuinely didn't know that and I would say I'm surprised, but I'm not.First time I heard one in the Netherlands it felt like the start of The Purge. Depends what it is used for here really. To let you know someone is running rampant with an AK-47 and stay inside - would appreciate the warning. A meteorite is going to wipe out earth in 15 minutes - not so much.
The issue is that once again, the company behind the work for this is that of Sunak's extended family. Just like with the pandemic - dodgy deals on pharmaceutical and PPE companies galore.... It doesn't sit right with me, and far too many people are naïve on this.

Was it Infosys? By the way the pulling out of Russia promised here still hasn't happenedGot a link?
There's no 4G or 5G around here so no one got it.Some phone owners didn't get the notification.
Better-off heading for the centre of the blast, it will be worse for the survivors.After all, if they didn't get the notification, they will be oblivious to the fact that they have 3 minutes to run for cover.
Haven’t seen anything to suggest Infosys are involved with the phone alert contract so I assume it must be talking about something else?Was it Infosys? By the way the pulling out of Russia promised here still hasn't happened

I saw something that said they were a subcontractor to Fujitsu, which seems quite probable tbh.
They can def do it by location. In Canada they use the same system for missing kids and send a local alert outHow are they planning to do it for terror attacks etc? Will they be able to do it based on GPS location or is it done by phone mast?
Not sure I’ve seen a source for this that isn’t Twitter tbh.
I haven’t seen any evidence of it myself….not sure this one is true, unless someone has better evidence than what I’ve seen.I saw something that said they were a subcontractor to Fujitsu, which seems quite probable tbh.

Nadine Dorries? She isn’t the Digital Secretary and she hates Sunak anyway.A bit like with Covid, a lot of the information is buried or 'ignored', but if you follow the money you won't be that far away.
- Fujitsu (the company involved in the post office scandal) are awarded the contract.
- This is also the same Fujitsu that sued the NHS for 700 million pounds.
- Fujitsu's previous chairman, Simon Blagden, was put on the UKHSA advisory board by the government, and is now Chair of Building Digital UK which works under Digital Secretary Nadine Dorries.
- Infosys is Sunak's father-in-law's company.
- Fujitsu regularly outsource work to Infosys, and there has been a lot of investment between the two companies.
I made many similar pointers regarding the pharmaceutical companies and PPE, which were laughed out the room at the time. Those people are absolutely silent now. It could be a conspiracy here of course, but the tories have too much history for my liking. They're corrupt as fuck.
I confidently bet that there is some money being handed over to people in cosy positions somewhere along the line here too.

Dig a bit deeper? She hasn’t been Digital Secretary for more than six months now.I thought you were supposed to be a journalist? Dig a bit deeper friend...
Simon Blagden CBE confirmed as new Chair of Building Digital UK
Simon Blagden CBE has been appointed by Digital Secretary Nadine Dorries to chair Building Digital UK (BDUK) - the agency in charge of delivering the government’s roll out of faster broadband and mobile coverage across the UK.www.gov.uk

Even if you can prove that this Fujitsu deal was all a smokescreen to bring in Infosys (and I assume you can?), the idea that Dorries was working overtime to do a financial favour for Sunak sounds fanciful at best. They can’t stand each other.
Oh right, because some appointments and deals happened a few months ago - it doesn't count? I'm not sure if you are 1) gullible, 2) projecting, or 3) just on the wind up, as considering you are supposed to be a journalist you've had your pants pulled down here. If you knew she was previously in that position you would have stated it rather than crosschecking the first google search that came up when you imputed her name. It isn't even the smoking gun here though really, and it's a very weak counter argument to be focussing on her (there's many more relevant people involved), which suggests probably option two, deliberate projection. Maybe a sprinkle of 1 & 3.
I'm not going to try and change your mind. You're a big boy who should be able to deduce a pattern of very strange decisions within the government yourself. It's those same kind of patterns that took place during the pandemic, and I've never seen so much backtracking and hiding from the people that were screeching and calling others conspiracy theorists after that.
I'm absolutely confident this will turn out to be the same somewhere down the line.
You can post silly GIFS all you want. I probably would be doing the same if I were in your position and wanted to shut the conversation down as quickly as possible so that I didn't humiliate myself any further. A journalist? Embarrassing.
Big bags of cashThey can def do it by location. In Canada they use the same system for missing kids and send a local alert out
which of course raises the question of why, as with the test and trace app, we haven’t used existing off the shelf systems that are known to work
