It's a long term play.
- Design a trigger that short circuits the lithium battery in response to a specific message.
- Hijack the manufacturing to include the trigger
- Use a mole to encourage widespread use of this specific pager by the target organisation
- Wait for the right moment
- Broadcast send the trigger message
*Maybe* the trigger is a zero day vulnerability discovered in a specific model of pager. That actually seems more unlikely.

TFW you realise you're living in a dystopian SciFi "5 minutes in the future" story from Sterling/Stross/Macleod.
Pagers made under license in Europe from a Taiwan company that explode on demand. That had been adopted as a low tech communication channel because mobiles are too easily tracked and hijacked and were being used as targets for drone assassinations.

Labour planning a public health drive to reduce sickness and improve public health to reduce pressure on the NHS.
I don't see anything there about mitigations against common highly infectious airborne diseases, like colds, flu, RSV, Covid. "Coughs and Sneezes spread diseases".

Why isn't electricity getting any cheaper? Or maybe it is in Europe. Just not in the UK.

If Local Councils are broke, how are they going to manage the Labour housebuilding programme?

Every thing started going to shit when Thatcher was elected and it hasn’t stopped since.

There's a lot of money to be made in upgrading the grid to take advantage of renewables and to build in resilience. They should go after that.

Operation Yellowhammer = "Project Fear"
The dangers of Brexit all came true.
Labour still appear to think they can "Make Brexit Work". Fine as a pre-election slogan. But now it needs real actions.

Very sad. I miss them. And the greenfinches and chaffinches. Feels like less song birds every year.

Hurricane #Beryl becomes the first Category 4 on record in June in the Atlantic.
There is no historical precedent. Records date back to 1851.

The full data won't be in for another 7 days, but I'm pretty sure it was another record month for global average daily 2m air temperature and 60S-60N daily average sea surface temperature. N Atlantic SST is probably very close to June 2023's record.

Another pandemic is ‘absolutely inevitable’, says Patrick Vallance
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/may/25/another-pandemic-is-absolutely-inevitable-says-patrick-vallance-covid
So many diseases are spread via the respiratory system. Air hygiene should be a big thing now. It works against all of them. Even before there's a vax.
If only we'd done these, we'd be totally ready.
Clean air in schools ✅
Respirators being worn widely ✅
Good infection control in hospitals ✅
#CovidIsNotOver and yet we're talking about the "next" pandemic.

We finally found the Brexit Benefit. It's destroying the Tory Party.
