Uk protest,switch off your electricity for ten minutes,at 10pm tonight
'Big Power Switch Off' Planned For Tonight To Protest Rising Energy Costs


'Big Power Switch Off' Planned For Tonight To Protest Rising Energy Costs
Organisers of a protest are asking everyone in the UK to switch off their electricity for 10 minutes at 10:00pm this evening to send a message about the rising cost of energy.

Of course, the cost-of-living crisis is something that has – or certainly will – affect nearly everyone in the country.

Well, those of us who officially live and pay tax here anyway.

If anything it shows that people can't go more than 10 minutes without power.

There are also other elements to this that make protesting utilities somewhat moot as far as I understand.

Gotta get more creative, I think. For example everybody could buy a solar charger and stop charging electronics using the mains. That would at least do something to address the problem.

Like everybody could stop wearing masks at least in supermarkets but that would already be way too much rebellion for 99.9% of “the patriots”.

Thank you for demonstrating that your use of electricity isn't essential by voluntarily shutting yours off

Syrians get power for 4 hours a day, staggered through the day.

If we in the UK do this protest, (or it's used as a cover to cut the power) the shit might stay off. It could overload the system a sudden drop in demand. Hope you have torches and a way to cook. Been warned this was coming for months. No a year or more.
