There are apparently over 70m mobile phones in the UK - more than one for each person alive. This may be an overestimate although some have two - let's say there are around 50m.
There are 66m people in the UK, each with individual DNA.
We ridicule the government (somewhat unfairly but not completely IMHO) because they seem unable to operate an effective test, track and trace system for a few thousand positive tests a day.
Does anyone seriously believe they have the brainpower or time to systematically track and correlate mobile phones with location to identify burners. If they have access to live feeds, they may be able to track key words and phrases- eg: bomb, mein fuhrer, don't tell Vladimir, etc
DNA could be different - they only need to record it once on a database - the location doesn'y change every few minutes!
