Mast fire probe amid 5G coronavirus claims
Mobile phone mast fires are being investigated amid conspiracy theories claiming a link between 5G and coronavirus.
There have been fires at masts in Birmingham, Liverpool and Melling in Merseyside.
A video, allegedly of the blaze in Aigburth, was shared on YouTube and Facebook, claiming a link between the mobile technology and Covid-19.
Cabinet Office minister Michael Gove said it was "dangerous nonsense".
The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport said on Twitter "there is absolutely no credible evidence" of a link, while trade body Mobile UK said such rumours and conspiracy theories were "concerning".
Merseyside Police said an investigation is under way after the telecommunications box in Aigburth caught fire on Friday.
A video of what appears to be the incident, which happened shortly after 22:00 BST, was shared on YouTube.
Verification from the BBC's disinformation team suggests the video is authentic, however, it is unclear whether the box has anything to do with 5G technology.
Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service said it is also investigating a blaze it extinguished at a 5G mast in the village of Melling, north of Liverpool, on Friday night.
West Midlands Fire Service said the fire in Birmingham involved a 70ft tower on a telecommunications site. However, it said the cause was yet to be identified and it could not confirm the mast was 5G.
A West Midlands Police spokesman said: "We're aware of a fire involving a phone mast, but are awaiting further details on its cause."
At the government's daily coronavirus briefing earlier, Mr Gove said conspiracy theories linking 5G with Covid-19 were "just nonsense, dangerous nonsense as well."
NHS Director Stephen Powis told the press conference 5G infrastructure is critical both to the general population who are being asked to stay at home and to the healthcare response to the virus.
"I'm absolutely outraged and disgusted that people would be taking action against the infrastructure we need to tackle this emergency," he said.
Mobile UK said key workers had suffered abuse and threats from people about damaging infrastructure under the pretence of claims about 5G.
"This is not acceptable and only impacts on our ability as an industry to maintain the resilience and operational capacity of the networks to support mass home working and critical connectivity to the emergency services, vulnerable consumers and hospitals."

Re: COVIDD-19 'Pandemic'
A doctor and SO much more:
Yes, in addition to his 387 other jobs at the White House, which include bringing peace to the Middle East, solving the opioid crisis, “fixing the government with business ideas,” reforming veteran care, and overhauling the entire immigration system, the first son-in-law is the “de facto project manager” for constructing the border wall, according to a new report from the Washington Post. What big ideas has he come up with so far? Well, where government officials have been resistant to the president’s “take the land” edict, wherein he thinks using eminent domain to seize private land will go over great both legally and politically, Jared is all for it. Once a slumlord, always a slumlord!

Re: COVIDD-19 'Pandemic'
Yeah, something like that.
Think about it, we have a former game show host, a former drama teacher and a real estate agent who are all three at the forefront of fighting a worldwide pandemic. You can't make this shit up!

I'll let you in on a little secret, anyone that is at all useful stays right the hell away from politics!
Seems they have the same problem south of the border:

Well, not entirely. Premier Ford has done an astounding job so far. Even called Trump out for being a douche bag.

Yep, Trump is doing what really needs to be done right now, to hell with Covid 19, he has an election to win! Bashing Canada gets him Brownie points with his supporters.

Re: COVIDD-19 'Pandemic'
And yet both Trump and Johnson have great approval ratings.
In fact, Johnson probably has the highest approval rating of any Tory leader since the party was founded in 1834.
Don't forget this twat....
