Default GMT needs to stay all year, No Clock changing
This was done before
to save money.

Schools can Adjust their Class Times
to avoid the Dark





We need just GMT.

I've never understood why we put the clocks forward. Makes no sense.

Finally. Bots has found the first benefit of brexit; by killing our farming we have made this irrelevant.

Bots to be in the cabinet before the week is out.

Nah we're all sick of it All this be grateful you get an extra hr in bed ~ no up at 4am instead of 5am and it takes weeks to adjust. Then guess what ! lets change the other way and here we go again, i've been wanting it to stop for last 25 yrs.

In practice, BST is way better than GMT.
But GMT means we are the centre of the world which we are.

I get the opposition to clocks changing (although personally I think it's a great thing) but really don't see why you'd prefer it to be GMT all the time than BST if you have to only have one
