A good description of the
A good description of the risks here and how they may well play out. People are going to die if there is prolonged cold. Scotland will likely do something – whether they’re allowed to/the UK govt likes it or not. Significant numbers of people cut off from the grid will trigger the unrest you describe.
I wouldn’t want to be flashing wealth with a 71 Evoque at a time like that, any more than showing an emerald green lawn in these conditions now (my local football club grrr). My solar battery shuts down in a power cut, but if I overcome that I still would be wary after dark of showing a bright light or TV when everyone around me is off.
Government (attitude: “you’re free: free to starve”) off-line until September to bring about some mitigation of all that you describe.

Also: No buildings harmed here, but if you look beyond the “re-design” headline, the person is making some good points about cars in Mevagissey.

More driver mental
More driver mental impairments being pleaded here like mixing it with driving is someone else’s problem.
Driver raced through town at 80mph before crashing outside school
A judge told Joshua Gillatt he had shown a ‘callous disregard’ for the safety of pedestrians and other motorists
Gillatt was sentenced to 12 months in prison. He will serve up to half that period in custody before being released on licence to serve the remainder in custody. The defendant was disqualified from driving for two years and the ban was extended by six months to cover the length of time he will be behind bars. Gillatt must pass an extended test before he can get his licence back.
Gillatt…admitted dangerous driving. He has 21 previous convictions for 44 offences including thefts, affray, common assault, harassment, and resisting arrest.
Matt Murphy, for Gillatt, said when the officer tried to stop his client he had “panicked” at the thought of a custodial sentence for the domestic allegations he was facing and had driven off rather than pulling over.
He said the defendant had recently been diagnosed with historical mental health issues including post-traumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and generic anxiety…

This man is very confused isn’t he. He’s built his identity on honour and service – he actually greets Mikey is a fairly friendly way until it dawns on his why Mikey is there – then begins the empty tirade.
So I can afford a £400 fuel
So I can afford a £400 fuel bill for what sounds like for December and then for January if that is what it it is coming to – it’s not what I’d prefer to spend my hard-earned on. I would quite like to stop soon as well.
And everything we buy and use is affected – farmers, schools, hospitals. Everything goes up.
My Nan spent many an afternoon on a bench in her new local Arndale – free warmth and often company – are we going to go back to things like that?
It sounds like we’ve to this for a while, when/how does it end, or is srchar right?
I’m getting a sense of “that dog will have to go”, not yet getting a sense of “that Audi will have to go”. They’re a quiet bunch and hard to read, but there must be fixed income households who won’t be able to pay this sort of rate.
We were 6 months from
We were 6 months from ordering to switch-on. Get a battery. Consider if you want an island circuit – sold separately, I think. I haven’t yet found an electrician able to do this.

well done, Mr Friday afternoon Drunkie: it’s not like they haven’t got anything else to do:
Man arrested after car ploughs into home leaving front wall ‘collapsing’
A man has been arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage while drink driving

Dad’s anger over £100 fine
Dad’s anger over £100 fine after wife failed to ‘park within marking’ during family emergency
“A £100 fine seems ludicrous in normal circumstances not to mention at the moment with the cost of living”
But the MEN comment column is a tough crowd and I agree with them. The fine was £60 if paid promptly – and BTW stick to one story.
