I think your mum is wrong TBH. Think the alert system has long since been in the making and the timing is simply a coincidence.

The spy trawlers around infrastructure in the North sea are a worry though.

oh I totally agree rich!

I mean for a start they couldn't have planned and built the system and got agreements from all the mobile providers in the time!

But I bet there are loads of people, especially like my mum who have been hermits since covid, who are over thinking it all.

I'd say the govs ability to interrupt broadcasts with the bad news of out impending doom would be used if the ICBM's took off.

That's not really the case though, you can shelter if you're a little way from the blast centre, fill up a bath with water, make a killing on the stock market, that sort of thing.

It's like the "yellow alert" or, ooh, "amber alert" they had on American news during and after the War of Terror.
