    “ The UK government has taken the unprecedented step of asking mobile companies to send an alert to everyone in the UK telling them to heed the new nationwide lockdown rules.

    It is the first time ministers have called upon all the UK’s mobile operators – including O2, EE, Three and Vodafone – to send a mass broadcast that will reach as many as 60 million people across the country. Only 4% of households do not have at least one mobile phone, according to the communications regulator, Ofcom.”

    Oh wow mass broadcast, that’s unprecedented indeed!

    I hope they will say in the broadcast that they track this phone’s location and anybody leaving house more often than once a week will be “dealt with”

      Isn't that what they do in Venezuela? I thought this could only happen is Corbyn got in.


      Do you think our glorious leader Cummings will lift the restrictions once this is all over? What's that old saying, people should not be afraid of their government, the government should be afraid of the people.

      How did we 'out Russia' Putin's Russia so quickly since the Tories tightened their grip on power?

        Oh wow, vert clever retort - Russia isn’t actually in lock down because Govt there does not give a fook about people.

        Give it 2 weeks and there will be 95% support for checkpoints to stop people getting out of home - it’s far better to go strict and s-end less time in lockdown.

            Just got my text message. I'm sure GDPR rules have been broken here. I never gave HMG permission to spam me and there was no "Unsubscribe" option.
