Scarlett: Stop that PIGEON!

MOFFATT: BIRDS SPY ON BRITISH PUBLIC

- ■ by RUTH MCKEE ruth.mckee@dailystar.co.uk

WACKY conspiracy theory fanatics Scarlett Moffatt and Joe Swash claim the Government is spying on us through mobile phones – and pigeons.

The pair – both former I’m A Celebrity winners – reckon that “everything we say” is listened to through technology.

She also thinks pigeons could be spooks used to spy on the public.

She told listeners to her podcast Wants To Believe, which she hosts with boyfriend

Scott Dobinson, she thinks some birds were culled and replaced with Government-controlled robots to keep tabs on us.

Scarlett said: “I’m not saying all pigeons – I don’t think they eradicated all of them.

“If you think about World War Two, they had carrier pigeons to carry messages back and forth.

“It isn’t that far-fetched. I just think they’re very incognito, they’re everywhere, in all major cities – you’d never suspect a pigeon.”

Scarlett refuses to keep an Alexa or Google speaker at home. The 29-year-old added: “For Christmas, off my nanny, I got one of those smart speakers. I’m going to have to re-gift it to someone because I daren’t plug it in the house because I just think they must be listening all the time.”

And she fears that even when she turns off some settings on her smartphone, mysterious forces can still track where she is.

Scarlett said: “Even if you turn your location off, they know it’s coming from the closest point. So they know what area you’re in anyway.”

And former Eastenders actor Joe agreed with her, saying all the smart technology we use comes from the military and police forces, who use the voice-recognitio­n software to spy on the British public.

The 38-year-old said: “They weren’t listening to see what products [we’re interested in], they’re listening to our conversati­ons.”
