C_J I love how at no point in this thread anyone is like “but guys - shouldn’t we be trying to live more sustainably anyway?

Perhaps for the middle class. People on low incomes have bigger fish to fry. I doubt the average food bank user is able to cut down on long haul travel, or install solar panels.

There’s no poor people in the UK. Not really. That’s why so many people are desperate to get over here by whatever means necessary.

People here don’t know the meaning of true poverty. If there’s any danger they won’t be able to afford their heating the govt will step in - even a supposedly callous and right wing Tory govt.

People who work hard for not a lot of money have my total respect and in my opinion deserve the support of the more fortunate in society because (apart from the moral aspect) if they are not supported they’ll have no choice but to break the law. That’s why I always vote for lower taxes and higher minimum wages and better standards of free education and healthcare.

        How much are everyone’s bills creeping up now the temperatures are dropping?

        We used over £10 of gas for one day last week lol!

        Apparently Jeremy says we should get used to rationing gas/electric, it’s become a luxury in 2022

          very bizarre comment from Jeremy basically admitting this will not be improving but only getting worse

          Almost nobody heats with gas in Finland, but electricity is around 30-40 c per kwh now (which for us means about 8 € day), and heating oil is 1,6 € litre. We have a combination air heat pump/ oil furnace-system, and we have to keep turning one up and one down depending on the price of electricity. Last winter we didn’t use the oil much at all.

          Hursty He’s also advocating using less gas to teach Putin a lesson - so you know, it’s our patriotic duty, or something.
