Are calling them this because “warm banks” makes it sound like we’ve failed as a nation?
So it’s going to get played as a bit of (literally) heartwarming bit of neighbours comign together fluff instead of the failure that it is?
The aussie version of this is public cold areas called shopping centres. That’s where people head when it gets too hot at home.
“Public living rooms are safe, welcoming and non-judgemental spaces”
That seems rather unlikely.
In the Haunted Pencil’s constituency too.
“This is fine…”
Maybe they could sell beer, to help cover some of the costs? I’m surprised nobody has thought of that before.
Ahh good the good ol’ days of the 16th century where nobody had a heated house and it was common to gather in a ‘public house’ where food and drink would be on sale and a fire kept everyone warm!
I can’t wait to see what the future is like, maybe we’ll do away with fridges, go back to pantries and shopping everyday for the perishables.
Oh those halcyon days when people died of dyptheria and everyone worked in a mill or mine, and those that didn’t were banished to a workhouse so they could be productive in society.
In North East Somerset , Jacob Rees-Mogg will just invite everyone round for tea.
Back in the good old days, we had Taverns and Pubs and THOSE used to be warm, now with the price of energy and Pints….
Communal warm areas to stop the infirm and elderly from freezing to death. It’s so dystopian.
Add on a British Restaurant where cheap food is available for those who can’t afford to cook at home?
You know, I was thinking that to lead as example, westminster should open up all of their members lounges for the public to use. I have a feeling forcing them to do so might prompt a new line in thinking pretty damned quickly.
Feeling cold in London? No problem! Lindsay Hoyle’s chambers has a comfortable sofa for you to watch the latest episode of Andor in while he shouts “Order! Order!” At the farce that is PMQs.
What, you mean like a house that’s open to the public? Like, you could call it a ‘Public House’
People could socialise if you put tables and chairs in there. It could be a place to meet people and talk together.

You could even serve drinks.
