    They have signs on them saying they’re weather stations. This “mistaken for speed cameras” shit is bollocks to play down any concern that might arise from the question of why there might be an individual or group intentionally attacking weather stations.

    These 3 stations are all at least 3km away from one another too. You have to travel a good distance to intentionally target them and they’re not on the same road or anything.

      Exactly. I’d put money on it being either some sort of crank conspiracy or mental health related paranoia or both.

      Different part of the country, but when they put up advanced barometers near us to measure wind for potentially building an off shore wind farm, they kept getting vandalised and destroyed. I assumed it was by someone who was against the idea of building the wind farm but a few weeks later all the houses around me started getting photocopied flyers about how they were 5G linked spyware that collected all digital and phone signals in the area to control and blackmail us as part of a test programme that would be rolled out across the UK.
