Julia Hartley Brewer lashes out at Insulate Britain

"How dare you compare yourselves to the suffragettes when all you do is glue yourselves to the road to get people to insulate their homes!"
Julia Hartley Brewer has clashed with Insulate Britain's Tim Gough after nine of the group's activists jailed for breaching a court injunction compared themselves to Martin Luther King and the suffragettes.
The supporters were jailed at the High Court in London after they admitted breaching an injunction by taking part in a blockade at junction 25 of the motorway during the morning rush hour on October 8.
Some of the group glued themselves to each other and two glued themselves to the road, causing disruption for over an hour and a half on the busy motorway.

Our house is 100 years old. Previous owners had insulation put in the cavity. All it caused was damp. It cost £1800 to remove and the whole one side of the interior our house had to be taken out because the damp was so bad. I wonder how many people have suffered the same and what the collective cost to the environment would be to rectify the damage caused by home insulation.

Insulation is pointless if you cannot afford to turn the heating on. All insulation does is slows down the heat from escaping your home, it still requires a heat source.
