Daily Mail readers have criticized British authorities’ plans to save energy
The Daily Mail reacted to plans by the British government to tell its people to turn down the temperature in their homes during the winter and switch off the lights to avoid blackouts.
The Telegraph newspaper earlier reported on the initiative, citing plans the authorities made available to it. It is noted that they include appeals to consume less energy. Messages about the necessity to reduce consumption could be broadcast regularly on radio, television and social networks.
Britons criticized the authorities’ plans in comments under the publication’s related article.
“No electricity, no food, no petrol, no travel, possibly another quarantine. If you still haven’t sorted this out and prepared, God help you,” wrote user Chelseas Drum Kit.
“Britain has relied on abundant and cheap energy supplies for centuries. That’s what happens when ridiculous eco-psychos achieve their ends. They literally want to take us back to the Stone Age,” said Mister Right.
“The blame for this lies with our politicians and their misguided green agenda. We are an island built up on coal and surrounded by oil and gas reserves. We are facing a deficit because of our politicians,” Bryce – a taxpayer – pointed out.
” Some of man’s basic needs are to have food, heat and shelter. I work full time and pay taxes, it’s absolutely appalling that I have to sit in a cold house in winter because I can’t afford to heat it. I really can’t believe it,” complained Db100.
“When will our governments put us Brits first and not everyone else? It’s unbelievable,” outraged KelleBelle2.
“But immigrants will still be welcome and they will get everything for free without fear of disruption,” added Up the workers.
Following the launch of a special military operation to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine, the West stepped up sanctions pressure on Russia. Calls to abandon Russian energy became louder. Logistics supply chains have been disrupted, leading to higher fuel and food prices in Europe and the US.
In Great Britain, the rising cost of living has hit millions of households. Since 1 April, the price threshold for gas and electricity in the country has risen by 54%. The decision was made back in early February due to a sharp rise in global gas prices, but went into effect on 1 April. Energy costs for British consumers rose by an average of £700 a year.
