I don’t think this headline is fair, the government is put in place to make difficult decisions. They will have weighed up all the different considerations and realised that the need for electricity to run life sustaining equipment is not a problem that affects them, so who cares.
I’m sure the tories did consider it they just decided as always “some of you may die but it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make”
Concern, is not a word any Tory Minister is familiar with.
Recent history has shown us that if the Tories are proposing a course of action that will lead to disabled people dying they probably consider it an acceptable cost at best and a welcome byproduct at worst, there’s no reason to assume they’re oblivious.
Disabled and vulnerable people dying is pretty much in line with Tory policies. They want an able-bodied and obedient work force to sponge off, not humanity.
This may be a stupid question.. does these MPs have no idea why there’s a civil service of knowledgable people?
Ego is a dangerous drug.
Disabled people (or any vulnerable person, renter, or non-Tory voter) dying quietly and without fuss is basically the Tory mission objective at this point…
‘Let the bodies pile up…’ and all that.
just think of all those people who switched to bt’s ip phones (as opposed to copper) for their landlines. no 999 for most of them. (bt ran out of batteries / emergency mobiles)
What’s being discussed is a 3 hour power cut with 24 hour notice.
If a 3 hour power cut is a life threatening event for you then you should absolutely be provided with a battery backup to protect against that risk, with or without the supply problems this winter.
3 hour power cuts happen, and normally without notice.
The blackouts have the ability to kill able body people as well, the proposed time are 4pm to 7pm, think of the influx of people leaving work early, tied in with school chucking out time dark and rainy December evening no street lighting, traffic lights out, creates the perfect storm for RTAs to spike.
Why is that a concern? Since when is caring for the poor or vulnerable a tory trait?
tories are only concerned about poll ratings and electoral counts.
The short sightedness of their voters is amplified in their modus operandi
“So what you’re saying is we won’t have to pay out benefits for those worthless sponges? […](https://youtu.be/sMqQOGTshak?t=41)” – Some Tory Minister Somewhere
Probably the same as the 1970’s blackouts..Edward heath. (Con)
With this government they call this mass failure an acceptable loss of life
Just like the 100,000 during the pandemic
we D O N T matter
This government doesn’t care we need a new government completely not a new party we need a new everything new politicians new guidelines new everything
Given the amount of consideration that the disabled were given regarding lockdowns, this is hardly surprising.
