  • Three quarters of UK households to be in fuel poverty...

    Turning a first world country into a third world country.

    More than three-quarters of UK households to be in fuel poverty by the new year, according to new report

    More than three-quarters of households in the UK, or 53 million people, will have been pushed into fuel poverty by January 2023, according to a new report authored by York academics.

    The report predicts that, even with the £400 fuel rebate being offered by the government, 80.5% of households will be plunged into fuel poverty in Yorkshire and the Humber, 69% in London and 81% in Northern Ireland.

    Struggling

    People living in the poorest and coldest regions of the UK will be the worst affected along with those who are already most likely to be struggling with the cost of living. More than 90% of large families and pensioner couples will be in fuel poverty, the authors of the report calculate.

    Fuel poverty is defined as having to spend over 10% of net income on fuel.

          How is that working out? They need to reopen their coal mines.

            Nah. He wants to track everyone with nano chips. That's a waste of time. Most people are too poor to track.

              And Putin is jamming it back twice as hard by shutting off the Nord Stream pipeline to Europe. And now we get to watch the bizarre spectacle of British television turning people's desperation into a game show.

              On Monday, ITV’s This Morning offered up the prize of paying a struggling Briton’s energy bills for four months as part of one of its frequently held competitions in a move that has been labelled dystopian by some critics.

              Like many countries across Europe, the UK has found itself in the grips of a massive cost of living crisis, with the price of energy, in particular, becoming unaffordable to many as a result of green agenda policies as well as the war in Ukraine.

              In response, the showrunners for This Morning came up with the idea of having struggling Britons compete to have their bills paid by the show for four months. Contestants were either given the opportunity to spin for the prize on the competition wheel, or draw a ball with the prize on it from the show’s “tombola drum”.

              To be offered a shot of spinning the wheel, contestants had to answer a random phone call from the show with a certain phrase, which, on Monday, was “Izzy wizzy let’s get busy”.

              https://www.breitbart.com/europe/202...etition-prize/

              "Izzy wizzy let's get busy" doesn't quite have the same ring to it as "May the odds be ever in your favor."
              Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
              But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
              Than a fool in the eyes of God

                  Some of legitimate whacky ideas he's actually proposed are just as kooky as the things made up about him.

                        They'll be throwing wood in the furnace and fireplace to keep warm, generating lots of soot for the greenies. More Leftoid backfires.

                          It won't be long before Europe will be going back to coal and wood.

                            Nah, printing more money will solve the problem.

                            And they call this new chick a conservative.
