Energy Price Cap Goes Up Again ? and No, it?s Not Because of the Price of Gas Thu Aug 28, 2025 07:00 | Paul Homewood
UK energy costs are set to rise again. Labour ministers claim it's due to the price of gas, but that's nonsense, says Paul Homewood: gas prices are flat in real terms. It's all green subsidies.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4Middle class anxiety = prime market for advertisers
It's not just the middle class thing, the anxiety is also important. It allows advertisers to sell solutions.
I haven't had a t.v. for a while now and it's great. This type of article confirms to me that I've made a good decision. There are so many things I can do every evening instead of watching T.V.: water the vegetable plot, listen to music, sew buttons on my shirts, bake scones, walk with glass to the bottle banks, write postcards to my friends, clear out the clutter under my bed.... Besides avoiding programmes on property and the other topics mentioned in the article I also avoid all the ads. I would encourage anyone who is thinking about it to give away their T.V. or not buy one in the first place.
Are these guidelines available online or elsewhere? I'll be teaching a course on television drama in the autumn and it would be great to cite this as proof of our national broadcaster's commitment to "cutting edge" drama.
