EU votes to stop moving clocks twice a year in 2021

[The European Parliament has voted
to stop moving clocks forward an
hour in spring and back again in the autumn.
Politicians passed the measure by 410
votes to 192 - meaning seasonal time shifts,
which were introduced during World War One
to save energy, will end in 2021.
A final law will be produced after
discussions with member nations,
but the UK government has indicated
it will stick to the current system after Brexit.
Supporters of scrapping daylight saving time point to scientific studies that have linked
the twice-yearly changes to illness because of how they interrupt biological cycles.]

Tbf it is kind of dumb I don’t get why there’s a need to do it

Its to do with Scotland
in the UK

****ing control freaks. Leave us the **** alone you weirdos

:bawling:Don’t speak like that against your masters, you will be locked up for a hate crime.

That’s it, we will move to America.:fist:

UK govt. is lying, even if/when we Brexit if the whole of Europe stops changing their clocks the UK will do so too fairly quickly because the constant relative fluctuations would be a pain in the arse. We might be "leaving Europe" but whether we like it or not they're going to be our nearest geographical neighbours forever.

This is the only thing I know about how Brexit affects the UK and I'm not happy about it this makes me wish I voted remain

I've always thought it a nuisance anyway.
I'd agree to the UK scrapping it too.

I always enjoyed the extra hour in bed :oh: It also made evenings dark at 4pm which is lovely in winter

good idea

next can we scrap school holidays that were to allow children to pick potatoes?

Why should we lose GMT, it’s our history, Europe would for sure make us go on BST for the whole year

I hate early dark nights :omgno: Especially when my travel time hike is between 4 and 7 sksksk

:omgno:

GMT is an institution though, BST is not quite the same :bawling:

This^

I'm not sure where you're getting that from; BST is the adjusted time, if we scrapped daylight saving we would be on GMT year round.

Agree with them tbh

By all means cancel the one that goes forward, but don't away my extra hour in bed.

Authoritarianism

I agree with removing it. It does cause all sorts of sleep issues and basically a "mini jetlag" twice a year where your body clock and the time of day aren't properly synced. I'd also guess that a LOT of productivity is lost in the week or two following the clocks going forward when everyone is tired all the time because their body thinks it's getting up an hour early every day.

My youngest has had life long sleep issues but with careful, exact timing it's possible to get her into a great rhythm of going to bed at 8.30 and up at 7. Any deviation can mean she's awake for HOURS in the middle of the night. The stupid clocks changing can **** up her sleep cycle for a month.

Excellent, it's stupid anyway

Most of Europe is already on a different time to us though so is it that big a deal

Another example why we should remain :)
Europe is the best

We need the clock changes for the farmers anyway :rant:
