I purchased a more efficient 230 AC to 24 V DC PSU which saves around 10 W of power for a 30 W High efficiency LED floor lamp. I can now power an SDR radio and BT speaker for the same cost as just with the previous LED floor lamp. It also will improve the length of time I can sit in the front living room being able to see and hear the radio with a Solar Generator when the Labour party rolling black outs begin.

Starmer mentioned in his commons speech about addressing homelessness , people living on the streets. How many asylum seekers are homeless and living rough??

[@unitedkingdomoffiveeyes9765]

No sympathy for ANYONE who voted for that trash. How did you not see what they were like? They were practically telling us what their plans were.

Use as much gas electric and water as you like. Cancel your council tax cancel your TV license. Stop paying bills you don't get cut off.

Who in their right mind with a modicum of intelligence would go to war to fight for this country after the way ordinary folk have been treated?

[@81Grimreaper]

What war is that ?

[@nigelground283]

Well, they would get a nice warm overcoat so at least they wouldn't spend all day moaning about being cold.

[@teresaclements6067]

Maybe if they stop their expenses and that would sort out the black hole !!!

I wonder if Arthur Scargill would have ever imagined a labour government would do this to aged miners !!!

[@Antonio-gq6fx]

The guys gonna end up being drugged up more with painkillers by the Doctors because i know his arthritis will be a lot more painful for him because of the cold.

[@DonFury-pi3dy]

He could type or say some hurty words on social media, he could be in prison before it gets too cold, and no bills till he is let out next spring.
