Anyone switched off their alerts ( if u can find them ) and will it work i wonder ?
Also I'm quite suspicious of the timing - we have no natural disasters in this country that require this level of national alert! However Russia have been making threats against the UK on their media channels for sending tanks to Ukraine and continued involvement. And two weeks ago our government announced that we're officially building a new fleet of nuclear class submarines specifically to combat Russian and Chinese influence in the oceans.
Ontop of this America is releasing footage of Russian planes intercepting drones and threatening b52 bombers.
So given the above I'd suspect that this national alert is preparing for a Russian conflict that America will eventually pull us into.
But I could be wrong - it could be because it gets a bit windy and wet here occasionally lol.

Russia are dragging tanks from the 1950s out of cold storage to try and take ground in the Ukraine... Like fuck are they in ANY position to threaten us.
I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. Just turn your phone off.
Tories trying to keep you in a perpetual state of fear again.
Maybe it's an alarm test in case there's a boat full of displaced humans wanting refuge?
Or an alarm test for a middle aged man who is annoyed about pronouns?
