@adusum a lot of Reform and other right wing supporters are in skilled trades (they managed to put up all those flags involving working at height during darkness without too many of them hitting the deck and could be sabotage risk)

Pro-hunting lobby already tried sawing through a 33 000 v electricity pole a few years ago and nearly brought it down.

There may not even be attacks prompted directly by nation states, but taken as action after localised disputes, for instance in Northern Ireland following a dispute over pay at a medium sized family business someone poured petrol into the VDSL street cabinet and lit it up - a whole section of a town was without phones/broadband for 3 weeks whilst Openreach repaired it (although they can fix the effect of vehicle strikes within 1-2 weeks)

@adusum I think the real threats will come *when* the Greens start claiming more victories in local elections (which is quite likely in some places), folk will be wanting to make them look bad.

We've also already got a problem with LTE masts being burned down (ever since the various anti-5G conspiracies), which is also making telecom companies wary about putting up new ones (this is directly affecting my work colleagues as frontline staff sometimes struggle to get the care recording app to work in some areas due to bad signals). This is on top of the problems with capitalists letting the mobile network decline in reliability over the years..
