I mean, this is a sick joke, right? No, apparently it isn't.
Energy firms urge Britons to turn off their electricity tonight as snow blankets the UK.

@Florence That's inhumane.
@Florence
And medical needs? On your own?
@CinnamonGirlE No exemptions. I rely on a medical alarm, live alone and am in palliative care. Still no exemption.
@Florence I am so sorry! That's not okay. May I ask where you live?
@CinnamonGirlE Wales.
@Florence I am sorry to say I am ignorant of what is going on there? I live in the US and we are burning down in other ways here.
That really is horrible though.
@CinnamonGirlE It's pure mismanagement by the Tories. It's miserable. But if you're not one of the hoi polloi - who never seem to be affected - you just have to suck it up. So we're told. I'm a American-British person, so I feel doomed on both sides of the Atlantic these days!
@Florence That stinks. I am sorry to hear it. Some things are the same everywhere I suppose.
@CinnamonGirlE These days it certainly seems so. Sadly.
@Florence Sadly is exactly right.
@CinnamonGirlE This is why places such as CoSo are so important. So we can kind of share experiences and feel less alone with all the carnage around us. xx
@Florence Yes, I agree. I love this little place. Such a respite. Vastly different from any SM I have ever been on.
@CinnamonGirlE Absolutely how I feel too. ❤️
@Florence
You take care of yourself!
@CinnamonGirlE You too. xx
@CinnamonGirlE It'll start at 3 hours, increasing to 24 hours depending on how it goes.
