I didn't receive my txt perhaps I'm not worthy of being saved...
I got a text. It said “ You may be one of the worthy ones, to prove your worthiness just send 50 bitcoins to R.Sunak at Rsunak@gov.Uk “ Can I buy bitcoins at Aldi?
People who didn’t receive an emergency alert on Sunday have been reassured that it’s only because the government considers them completely expendable.
With the Emergency Alert system only in place to warn people of an imminent threat to life, some people expected that the alert would be sent to all phone users.
Government spokesperson Simon Williams told us, “We are delighted with how the test went, all the right people got the alert, and the others, well, they didn’t – as we planned.
“You have to remember, in the midst of a major emergency, resources can be very scarce, so a decision must be made on who we want around to consume those precious resources as we look to rebuild our society
“And fortunately, your phones are an excellent way of determining who is worth saving. If you spend more than fifteen minutes a day on TikTok, you’re out. If your browsing history includes low-information conspiracy nonsense on BitChute, you’re out. If you’ve ever paid money to stream a Jim Davidson show, you’re out.
“If you didn’t get the alert, don’t take it personally, it’s just that an algorithm has determined that you have little to no value to society and we’d be better off without you.”

No alert on my phone, not like the government to mess something up, saying that they said it was an alert for the whole of the uk, so probly just the london based folks who got the alert.

The national emergency alert system test descended into a farce on Sunday after it failed to work on up to ten million phones.
Technology experts are scrambling to understand why customers on Three, one of Britain’s biggest mobile networks, failed to receive the 10-second alert.
The Government insisted the test had been a “success”. However, senior MPs suggested the scheme was a waste of taxpayers’ money that should be scrapped. Jacob Rees-Mogg, the former Cabinet minister, said it was an “expansion of the reach of the state” that was “redundant”.
Some phones received the alarm up to 20 minutes after the scheduled 3pm test. The cacophony caused by the siren going off at various intervals prompted the World Snooker Championship to be delayed to prevent players from being put off their strokes.
Welsh speakers were also perturbed to receive a message that made no sense after the computerised system made up the word “Vogel”, which is a ski resort in Slovenia. The letter ‘V’ does not exist in the Welsh language.
The Cabinet Office confirmed there was a spelling error in the Welsh language version of the alert text that was sent out.
For the translation of the English phrase “others safe”, the message read “eraill yn Vogel” when it should have said “eraill yn ddiogel”.
A Government spokesman said: “A technical error caused one word in the Welsh language version of the emergency test alert to be misspelt. The fact that this occurred in a test alert will mean we can rectify it in future.”
A Government spokesman insisted the test had been a success and denied a suggestion it would now have to be repeated to show it could work on the Three network.
The loud alarm was planned to ring at 3pm on all devices that were using 4G and 5G networks in the UK. The alert will be used in the future to issue warnings about life-threatening events such as a wildfire or storms. The Government accepts it cannot be used during ongoing terrorist incidents where the alarm would give away the location of members of the public hiding from marauding gunmen.

This is WAY too good.
