Default New: Warm banks for the Poor to go to

[Plans are being drawn together for
communal heat banks to be set up,
to help people unable to afford their
heating this winter.

As we slowly move towards autumn,
fears around the cost of living crisis are
rising in the face of increasing fuel,
energy and utility costs,
coupled with the highest inflation in years.

Energy costs have risen dramatically this year.
The annual cap,
which is based on the wholesale price
of gas and electricity,
sets the maximum amount a utility
company can charge customers each year
for the amount of energy they have used.]

Was just talked about on a Debate
on LBC Live

Tried to warn you about the right wing race to the bottom. On the plus side though, billionaires are getting richer and richer by the day, so it's not all bad.

Is that a library that's open most of the time then.
Unlike many libraries now.
Which are barely open a few hours a day even on days they are EVEN open at all.
After all the previous austerity cutting.

Yes,
but that is nothing to do with this Crisis
Meaning the Government is not doing anything
as they are fighting to get a new Leader by the
5th of Sept, taking too long.

It's nothing to do with the leadership contest. This crisis was coming from months and months ago, and just like covid, the tories sat on their hands waiting to kill a few oiks off.

It's globalism and the New World order. Mafioso mobsters they are.

What better way to use the defunct libraries, defunct because of the internet era and things like kindle.

A bold, caring and astute plan to help the poor by the conservatives..

I don't think those vulnerable people probably figure much in government or others planning very sadly.
