I'm finding this unbelievable!

Apparently some of the masts serviced hospitals. If these knobheads continue I wouldn't be surprised if we start to see network outtages.

DH has worked building masts, fitting antenna and conducting RF surveys since the late 90s. He is one of those engineers who has been threatened and spat at.

Over the years he has had to explain the science to various Flat Earthers. It gets tedious.

There have been so many multi cohort longitudinal studies into all sorts of RF other Telecom stuff. None of which has found much other than the heat given off by all devices, laptops, phones etc hold the possibility of damage, mainly to make fertility.

If any of the conspiracy theories was right then DH, and all of his friends and colleagues, would be infertile, have brittle bones, be riddled with cancer etc.

At 59 he has a knackered hand that required carpal tunnel surgery. That's it!

This bollocks, all of it!

@picsinred

So the people burning down masts are hired by the Chinese government? I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

Ponoka, you mentioned a link to drug use: is that an idle link, something you have experienced, or is there something more concrete?

This is the FullFact page about the conspiracy theories. Two things they say to start with is that a) it isn’t new and b) there is not one conspiracy theory but many.

PaperFlowers4 your DH should also wear looser clothes as it was the warmth that the doctor was referring to there. Not radiation.

PicsInRed lol they were saying if you burn masts you won't get a good phone signal. But you thought what? That the Chinese were saying they'd invade and put us all in concentration camps?

Wish they’re come and damage the one 50 yards from my house. If I could ask them to burn it/ knock it down I would. Would never have bought this house if I’d of known it was there.

The CCP say lots of things.
The truth is normally the thing they didn't say.

IME, the people buying into the rumours and repeating them are not the people who start them.

But what does that have to do with idiots in the UK burning masts?

This might just be kids who want to break stuff and are using this as an excuse. These towers must be quite expensive. It would be relatively cheap to put cameras up around them.
