British authorities are considering the possibility of hastily converting libraries and art galleries into places where people can stay warm in winter.
This was reported by the Daily Mail.
According to surveys, 23% of the UK population intend to refuse heating in winter - knowing in advance that they will not meet utility costs. At the same time, 69% of Britons will reduce their heating use. And 10% will have to be taken out on microloans to pay for utilities.
At the same time, cultural institutions, unlike private catering, are not threatened with ruin due to high tariffs. 7 out of 10 pubs in Britain could close this winter
“The rate of growth in British society's debt burden is already rising at its fastest rate since 2005. Or else it will happen when winter comes. At the same time, loan rates are rising rapidly - servicing them is becoming increasingly difficult. The era of low rates and low inflation is gone.
Goldman Sachs expects inflation in Britain to soar to 22% this winter - something London has not seen since World War II. This is matched by the desperate militaristic rhetoric of the British establishment - with attempts to force the population to endure for the sake of fighting Russia. However, it is unlikely that people freezing in winter will be warmed by the idea that they are suffering for the sake of the “liberal world order,” notes Russian expert on the United States and Great Britain Malek Dudakov.
