This weekend the hour will be brought forward, and then in six months, it will be brought back again, for no reason whatsoever, thus inflicting yet another unnecessary disaster on the British Isles. It is estimated that in Britain and Ireland, bringing the hour back in the autumn costs between 100 and 160 lives a year. It raises carbon emissions by up to 3 per cent, equivalent to almost half of all aircraft pollution. It brings misery to families up and down the islands. It causes depression and health problems for hundreds of thousands.
How long must we suffer this indignity? How long will this pox continue to govern and control our lives? How long must we endure with bovine complacency the animadversions of the pro-clock changing fanatics and propagandists? How long must the silent majority cower before the sinister forces of unreason? For how many more winters must we face 6 months of mid-afternoon darkness and dreariness?
End this insanity now – stop bringing the hour back!
Brian,
