Any chance to address these claims by someone more in the know than I:

oddly fitting

I'm surprised that the UK Government hasn't proposed a ban on log burning fires and BBQ's.

Yet

I won’t be surprised if they decide to ban bonfires on 5th November

They'll start ratcheting the wet wood/house coal ban after a couple of years

I think if a new rightwing party comes into play Boris will be screwed.

@Gaylien dont give them ideas

Well my BBQ is propane.
So that should be ok

Or do we have a voting system rigged against any real alternative.

hank would be proud

I think a new rightwing party would go the same way as TIG/CUK/TIGFC or whatever they called themselves because of the fear of letting Labour in if the vote was split too much

^

@Hiddenhope they'll come for that too, they're already making noises about gas boilers

Labour have to destroy themselves utterly before a new party can arise

the voting system is rigged to favor the big parties

It would need some form of PR/STV for a new party to stand a chance here

I'm just wondering what they'll suggest people use for camping stoves if they get to the point that all combustible fuels are banned?

> Around 2.5 million households are now living in fuel poverty - where the home cannot be kept warm at a reasonable cost - at a time energy bills are soaring. Some 17,000 deaths a year are caused by cold homes.
>
> Ian Gregory, an adviser to the fuel industry, said: “This is gesture politics of the worst type and is going to hit the rural poor the hardest. Alternatives are twice as expensive and unaffordable for many. “Nearly 4 million people are off the gas grid in the UK, and 92 percent of our coal is imported from countries like Russia and Australia. It’s baffling as well as barmy.”

these numbers are nuts

It’s like we voted the greens in

well just imagine if labour or greens were in

they never stop talking about it

they'd be like "ban all the things"

green stuff was buried in con manifesto somewhere but it wasnt a frontrunner was it

I wonder if they will announce that they are shutting own all coal power stations in 5 years.
Then the power grid will collapse

didn't they already announce this

Especially with this “lol get electric cars”

The only alternative that would provide enough power at guaranteed levels is nuclear but iirc that's a fairly widely agreed position here

@Jabba's Soapbox the metro police rallied with ER?

that's

fucked
