Bud:
They previously found "Chinese tracking devices" on computer motherboards, didn't they? :palm:

Sounds quite disappointing considering it is being paid for by BBC license fee payers.
I wonder what they are trying to do, distract or instill fear in the majority.
I kind of remember something back in about 2016 and unfortunately I can't find it anymore, where there were complaints about the BBC, where the they did an article I think on electrical? cable thefts that were happening around the country and it was suggested that they could use CCA cable instead as it was cheaper and less likely to be stolen? (will the thieves even notice before stealing it?) and that it can be used in communication cables too. The mistake got reported to the BBC and a follow up that they corrected it by removing the references to CCA in the article or something like that.

FFS! YOU linked the original article - it has nothing to do with the BBC.
MrMobodies:
Sorry I thought AndyBeez was mentioning that the BBC was the source and I should have checked myself first.
I just checked the BBC news site and no I don't see any article about it.

I see "They told i" this and that.
Or maybe I am misunderstanding what is being said.
I see it was also published in the DailyWail too:
