National Emergency Alerts

I hope this is something we can opt out of. It's making me angry / anxiety rise (I can't tell which) that we have to be subjected to this. It's another way to keep us frightened.

  • There is a setting on your phone to disable these alerts if you prefer. I’ll post a screenshot below.

    I was quite happy with this to start with as I’ll know when the test is and can be prepared for it. I also like to know what’s happening in case I can take some sort of action. I accept that there’s not much I can do in the event of a nuclear strike though!

    Now, however, I’m not so sure as if I think too much about it then it will be in the back of my mind that it could go off at any time. I’ll have to just try to forget about it.

    i generally think most politicians go into politics for the right reasons but the recently released lockdown files show that the way they treat the electorate is appalling sometimes with those who asked about unintended consequences of all that manufactured or at least enhanced fear ignored and silenced.
