The cold still got through. I could feel it in my bones, Maybe they should have gone out and got a couple of fan heaters,


See edit

Their boiler system failed as the house was so cold the pipes froze !!

So their plan to save money backfired bigtime

I agree.

They only, along with most other media outlets too, are now just misleading and even shove out blatant lying to get attention.
From whatever their own political agendas are.

Why people waste at least and upwards of £400+ minimum every year on buying what is more gutter trash and deceit as so called news, mystifies me.

If I had a retail outlet I'd put so called news publications on sale on fiction stands.

I just think that there needs to be boundaries.

Scaremongering people with falsehood headlines should be seeing these Newspapers face a hefty fine or something.

They were doing it during Covid times as well, they have no respect for people's stress levels when lying about stuff like this.

Totally agree with all that.

freedom of the press, by definition, has no boundaries. The moment the media are told what they can and cannot do, there is no freedom

That's a fair point.

But we can't also have the Media exaggerating stuff just to scare people either.
