Sheeple alert at 3pm sunday

Are you going to be one of the sheeple who has their phone invaded by the 3pm alert of indeterminate threat? I see no purpose other than the government's Nudge Unit just reminding us that things could be bad. But not saying exactly how. Is this a national threat? Regional, county city or post code wide one? Who decides? If it is down to crazy Ed Milliband its a climate emergency every day.

The system can be used to warn people in areas where flooding for example is starting to happen giving them the chance to move possession to higher locations (remember the Somerset Levels floods a few years ago). Any alert system needs to be tested occasionally. Place I used to work you could hear the Broadmoor escape alarm Monday mornings at 10am and the all clear 5 minutes later.

I agree and I don’t think there is a fuss outside of forums, if you look across the country as a whole, everyone is just nodding and getting on with their day.

But there are a small cadre of men and women for whom every action needs to be taken as a sign of oppression that they are luckily uniquely placed to spot and guide us smaller people to learning how to overcome.

These phone alerts are common and useful in USA.

We were walking across a suspension bridge in Nevada when a phone alert for an imminent lethal sandstorm came through.

All the pedestrians looked at their phones and left the bridge swiftly.

Could work here for extreme weather events too.

That was for a recognised emergency. Bombs coming across from Germany. This is, what? Is it relevant to my street, town, country, region, country? Nah, I’ve lived this long without needing it, so won’t play along.

Periodic back in the early 70's we used to have to have the home office bleep box on all the time.

Occaisionally and without any warning it would burst into life issuing a mock 4 minute warning.

It went off once in the early hours when we were on a break, and this woman screamed "Oh god whats coming????" & this old bloke said "Not me ducky, I do assure you"

Initially it was for that very reason, however it morphed into a general alert system.

I don't think many people shoved cotton wool in their ears during WWII so they couldn't hear the air raid siren.

I remember when poor old Michael Fish got blamed for not warning us about a Hurricane that hit the UK and caused severe damage, he only read the bloody weather forecast put before him FFS, so to all those who are not happy about a warning system being tested I suggest if the mire hits the fan at some stage you don't complain about not being warned.

"Your phone beeps you press ok. What's the deal.

Virtually every country has them for extreme weather alerts.

Some people are so entitled they need to get over themselves.

And calling people sheeple isn't the gotcha you think it is.

Loads think 'sheeple' is clever and edgy. Loads do it, so, that's a bit sheeple-ish in itself really. "

They should just have 'Idiot' tattooed on their foreheads, it saves the small talk.

The funny thing is they also like to say stuff like "wake up sheeple" and then complain about woke.

I think its hilarious that one beep is disrupting some peoples life.

'Ok I turn off my notifications years ago so I don't get dusturbed'

WHAT A LOAD OF A%%.

We are constantly bombarded with notifications, one more, that is of significantly more value isnt going to harm us.

Lots of tin hat numpties on here.

I wonder if there has been a correlation study done between these people and those that put the Sydney University thing on their profile.

You could remove “…say stuff like “wake up sheeple” and then” and “about woke” and your sentence would be every bit as accurate!

"Some people in Sainsbury's hot it and looked at their phones, some even commented on it. But the reception in there is rubbish so I didn't get it till I went outside.

Reminder to self: don't be shopping if a nuclear strike's imminent or Farage gets elected PM

Scene: CD Stefi steps out of Sainsbury's, a siren blares, she looks down at her phone and her eyes widen in shock. She drops her shopping as a zombie stumbles into Sainsbury's behind her. CD Stefi carries on her way

All good apart from the she bits. I'm no sissy

Excuse me. I know for future. I apologise.

No problem! I have actually emailed site admin to ask if they can turn me back into a Man, because TV/TS seems to cause too many assumptions for other people. "

Fuck me, admin responded quick. I'm a man again! No excuses for anyone getting their wires crossed now

I forgot all about it, my phone was on charge and I was outside. Was only reminded about it later on when someone mentioned it. I've no idea of it went off or not.

Aparently this is an example of being a sheeple and living in fear at the government's control.

It's one of those strange conundrums that governments face ,, if there is an option to send out warnings to the population and the need to do so arose but the technology available had been neither tested or used ,and such technology could have saved lives the question would be "why didn't you use the available technology?"

My theory is that the government know that I didn't vote for them therefore I did not get the alert.

These alerts have already been used to warn about severe weather in Scotland, floods in Cumbria and an evacution in Portsmouth because of an unexploded bomb. They are not just for national emergencies but can be very localised.

Can't see why anyone would object to being warned about things like a chemical leak or a machete wielding maniac in the neighbourhood, for example.

I purposely avoid listening to/watching the news as well. If something is likely to affect me, I'm sure there will be cordons around the area. As the police seem to attend very little these days, I guess it would be newsworthy if they attended a maniac wielding anything

So much negativity about everything by so many.

Most people just accept and get on with their lives without making a drama out of every little thing .

Maybe it’s time for some to have a little grow up .

It'll be the same people making a drama out of it too if something ever does happen and they had no warning.

Well it certainly won’t be their fault.

But the BBC will be in the firing line, as will Starmer, and probably some snowflakes

I've wondered this. I had warning messages about the 'Sunday alarm' via text on both my now rather elderly mobile phones but no actual 'alarm' as proscribed time. Hardly bothered but does seem weird that I get one but not the other.

Multiple potential reasons:

• May not have had a signal


• May have been in airplane mode


• May have had emergency alerts settings disabled


• May not have been enabled for 4G/5G
*

• May have been switched off completely

*2G/3G not compatible with emergency alert system

🤔

"Are you going to be one of the sheeple who has their phone invaded by the 3pm alert of indeterminate threat? I see no purpose other than the government's Nudge Unit just reminding us that things could be bad. But not saying exactly how. Is this a national threat? Regional, county city or post code wide one? Who decides? If it is down to crazy Ed Milliband its a climate emergency every day."

That’s not what happened at all. A woman called in suggesting it was reported a hurricane was going to hit Britain and he dismissed her. That’s why he got blamed. These people are supposed to be qualified meteorologists.
