Gateshead Council and their 'scary street lights'

[editor]

Very strange statement from the council!

We are aware that certain individuals are frightening local people with false stories about the street lights in Gateshead – despite the fact we, and others, have told them repeatedly that their allegations are entirely false.

For your reassurance, we’d like to set the record straight.

• Gateshead Council DOES NOT use 5G technology in any of its street lights, or in any other capacity. It has never done so.

• The street lights in Gateshead will not give you cancer.

• The street lights will not induce miscarriages in pregnant women, or cause insomnia, or nosebleeds, and they are not killing all the birds and insects.

• Gateshead Council is NOT carrying out secret government trials in 5G technology via our street lights.

We don’t know how these conspiracy stories start, but we are happy to report that this is exactly what these are. These tales are completely untrue and you should ignore them.

Please be assured that there is no scientific basis or credible evidence for any of these scare stories about street lights causing cancer and other illnesses. We’ve taken advice from Public Health England who reviewed guidance issued by the World Health Organisation, the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation and others, and they have confirmed that there is no risk.

We ask you to share this information with your friends and neighbours as we understand that some residents have been badly frightened by these tales, and the more people who understand that they are completely false, the better.

First it was electricity meters, and now this

THERE IS NO IMMINENT THREAT - PLEASE CONTINUE TO STAY CALM!!!

If you find yourself in Gateshead at night, the street lights are the least of your problems.

And, so the paranoia regarding 5G steps up another level.

That makes a change form the bliddy things falling down when they rusted through !

 

[8ball]

I reckon they're testing a drug and putting it in the water.

Telling people "there is no 5G in the streetlights" should keep the populace off the scent.

5G? Pfft!
I hear 6G can kill a chicken at 20 paces even when switched off.

This is why we need (Dr) Jazzz back.

And even further away if the chicken's turned on

Instead of reassuring them I'd let those people who believe such bullshit to worry themselves to death tbh...

Well, they would say that wouldn't they? Denial of fiendish secret government trials is straight out of the officialdom playbook.

"Don't worry your pretty little heads general public - we're not testing 5G to see if causes horrific genetic mutations"

That wasn't natural fog on the Tyne.

 

[T & P]

If the government didn't cover the skies over Gateshead with so many chemtrails, more natural light would filter through and the street lights wouldn't have to be on for as many hours in the day.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

That wasn't natural fog on the Tyne.

It was either malevolent tests of secret mind-control agents, or the fumes from a batch of sausage rolls that got burnt in the Greggs factory.

I'm on a 3 day union course in Gateshead in 2 weeks. I've already fashioned my tinfoil bonnet, but wonder if there are any other measures I should take? I'm outraged about this, about, erm, whatever it is. It's a diabolical liberty.

Lead underpants.

I'm afraid I've put a few pounds on - they're at the welders having a gusset put in.

How about a snazzy lead codpiece, with diamanté highlights?

You'd be the talk of the Toon.

You'd have a ball at the Meat Market, or whatever it's called. I'm sure there is plenty of sordid goings on during the week - neonwilderness might be able to give some tips.

Ooh, they love a three day week those bloody unions!
