These 23 UK emergency alert memes and reactions prove just how silly everything is to us
My emergency alert says it’s time to slay!
The majority of phones in the UK have received an emergency alert from the UK government as part of a nationwide test and it caused absolute bedlam. This test was the first of its kind to ever happen and it didn’t go quite to plan.
No one is really sure if we should have taken the test seriously or not but either way the memes were perfect. Here’s a rundown of the best reactions and memes from Twitter to the emergency alert.
1. ‘She will be playing the alert’
