John Kitson, 38, a full-time activist, believes that the waves will damage brains, leading to the collapse of society, a theory repeated on protest sites. “I am not a doctor,” he said, “but we will not be able to keep going as a society.”
Mr Kitson convinced Totnes council this week to call a moratorium on the network’s installation. Jacqi Hodgson, the town mayor, said: “We haven’t blocked 5G. We have just asked for evidence that this is completely safe.”
Mr Kitson was inspired by Chris Baker, 68, who convinced Glastonbury to revolt against 5G. Mr Baker, from Denmead, Hampshire, said: “I chose Glastonbury because it is synonymous with healing energy and ley lines.”
He has been lobbying about round a dozen councils, since then, arguing that under the Health and Social Care Act 2012 they could be held liable if 5G is found to be harmful. to public health in the future.
“I show them they are liable and this radiation exposure is their responsibility,” he said. “I am not an expert. My role is to bring awareness. I am a conscious activist and a public speaker.”
He persuaded Shepton Mallet district council on Tuesday night to pass a motion against 5G in the area, after four members of the public had raised concerns about the technology.
