Lights Off At 7Pm

[Gingerbaker]

Apparently everyone in UK is supposed to turn all lights off At 7pm for a few minutes in support of Ukraine. It is to show that we do not need Putins oil and gas. The same is happening in other countries at different times because of time zones.

[david small]

Nonsense.

[Cloverjo]

It’ll be about as useful as banging saucepans was for the NHS last year.

[gingejbee]

The only lights worth putting (punching) out are Putin's.

It’s true … the brainchild of an eco organisation I think - can’t remember the details. How many do it remains to be seen but I won’t. I think it’s pointless.

"It is to show that we do not need Putin's oil and gas."

Ah, but we do.

[sanmac]

" How many do it remains to be seen..." No, naomi, how many don't do it remains to be seen coz they'll still have their lights on:) Anyway, I certainly won't be doing it.

[naomi24]

Haha! Very good, sanmac - and you’d be right of course. :o)

[Ken4155]

There will be those on here who will switch off their lights. And they'll be only too eager to let us know they have done so ;-/

[Bobbisox1]

No chance, can’t see any good it would do

[naomi24]

Great best answer!!

[youngmafbog]

Pointless virtue signalling (just like the clots with the pans).

If anything it will just reinforce Putins view that we have become weak and more bothered with pronouns and safe spaces and embolden him to go for it more.

[dustypuss]

I wish I could get the wife to turn the lights off at the best of times.

[naomi24]

Ohhh … you changed the best answer! :o(

[ichkeria]

Fair enough but a bit last minute!

[New Judge]

With the strategies adopted by this government and their predecessors, I'm surprised the lights (and the heat) have not gone off long before now - and for more than a few minutes.

[naomi24]

It’s the brainchild of a German organisation.

How about "putting the lights out" for the eco loons and anti fracking jobbies who handed Putin the reins to steer our energy requirements? Without the EU reliance on the less that environmentally produced and obtained Russian gas, oil, and delivery structures he would never have felt confident enough to blackmail millions into submission with the threat of economic catastrophe and industrial paralysis. Nor would he have invaded Ukraine if he though that the EU, despite it's rhetoric about unity, a ponzi scheme with an every man for himself agenda. The doom goblin from Sweden is very quiet ... why isn't she and her support team in Moscow complaining about the pollution and air quality? No money in it.

I urge everyone, if you really want to get in the spirit of it, turn off your power, your water and your heating for two days.
Send someone upstairs with a very loud stereo system to play the sound of grad rockets …

That would be difficult if you've turned your power off.
