Re: Not had the radiator on since November.

We are lucky we are entering the warmer months now, but if prices rise again for winter then we are entering a very serious and I would suggest unprecedented crisis on heating costs that the government will simply have to come up with a radical solution for, akin to the support provided during Covid.

It is the case that some people do waste energy and sometimes blankets suffice, but proper heating is not just a lifestyle or comfort issue, it is absolutely imperitive to good health and keeping things like mould and damp at bay.

Some of the current rises may be manageable with a modest reduction in use, but if the prices rise again in October then like I said, something serious and radical will need to be done.

It's all part of the climate change agenda and it's been on the WEF website for ages, and no, it's not a conspiracy theory!

Very rarely have the heating on longer than a few hours , must be my background of living as a child with no : central heating , double glazing, loft insulation, with drafty doors and windows , and the world was a lot colder than it is now , if Greta and insulate Britain is to be believed.

So you and Gluey have no sympathy for the disabled woman and her family in that story I linked to because you have your agendas to push?

I never read the guardian, which means I was replying to your comment about not having a radiator on since November. Agenda 30 is great if you don't mind cold winters, dislike meat and dairy products, and have a fear of flying.

Everyone has sympathy, it's the other media headlines that I'm referring too. You will notice my comments relate to a broader view not a single one.

I've made it clear to my younger nieces & nephews, and to old older relatives that I am against this. It's people like Bob who are allowing it to go ahead by staying silent.

So the donations I make to food banks every week are adding to the problem are they? All very convenient for you,lot who know the answer to everything until it's subject to any sort of scrutiny to stand on the sidelines blaming those who disagree with them for everything - you and Life on Mars are the ones who have tried to steer this thread on to a pet subject in the interests of "balance"

Unfortunately, whingeing about the government doesnt pay for social care. Shame, if we could tap into that resource, all our problems would dissapear.

The problem is not knowing what is causing it, and blaming the wrong people in the process.

And a good deal more could be raised from the bollox the likes of Rees-Mogg spouts while defending it.
