Boner is fishing for more Serfs, and I love the grifting of “wanna help” make a sign? It’s obvious you’re not going to pay.
These assholes are so transactional.
Also, people die in England every year from heatwaves - generally the elderly and already sick, but still - because the country isn't equipped to deal with it/the people aren't used to dealing with it. No aircon, minimal understanding of heat stroke, people not having the clothes for it... the Brits get up in arms about people mocking it every year when a bunch of dipshits make tweets like this lmao. Bad twitter look, Mr. Shit Eater.
Wait, that’s Jen?
Shouldn't they have figured out how to deal with warm weather if this kinda thing happens every year? Wear shorts. Drink water. Use fans and buy a window A/C for the bedroom if you're bougie. There is a culture of overwhelming government intrusion into citizens' daily lives over there. Can't the government tell them any of this? I live in northern New England with summer temps very similar to the UK and we've figured it out.
Yeah- Michael/Norintha/Jen
Heat deaths are irrelevant compared to cold
It might be some kind of cultural retardation like Japan where suits are mandatory even in the worst heat waves IDK.
British homes aren't made for hot weather, they're actually meant to keep the heat in as well as maximize light. And while people can adapt for higher temps, it takes time to acclimatize, which is why most deaths happen in the first few days of a heat wave.
You'd think we could be sensible in England, but no. The UK has a load of old, poorly-insulated houses and a load of poorly designed newer houses. The former get boiling in the summer and freezing in the winter, the latter are energy efficient with regards to heating, but are not designed for hot weather. In the summer we get the elderly dying due to hot weather and in the winter we get them dying due to the cold. A lot of this is due to our high energy bills; loads of old people live in poverty and so can't afford to heat/cool their homes effectively. There are all sorts of government schemes to pay for home improvements that insulate our homes as the government wants to meet their CO2 and energy targets; it has the nice side effect of reduced energy bills. They are not going to offer aircon to poor people as it would take too much electricity to run and the poor can't afford to run aircon anyway.
I think the whole "TERF Island" meme is exactly what spurred this tweet, at least indirectly. It's popular among troons, especially US troons to take potshots at the UK on social media and act like it's the worst country to ever exist and is literally genociding their kind as we speak. So they take whatever dumb irrelevant shit they can find to shit on the UK about and go for it. It doesn't even have to relate to transgender politics, anything that fits the mold of "UK bad" is fair game.
I'm from Mississippi and in the summer it can get to 95F or higher with 90+% humidity, so 80s with humidity isn't that bad. Sorry for the post, but I am required by law in Mississippi to respond this way when someone says it's hot somewhere else.
Quiet southerner, it gets that hot and humid up here too, but we also get down to -30 in the winter regularly.
It doesn't get that cold down here, but holy hell if there is even a chance of a snow flurry, everything closes.
The heat in the midwest can give the south a close Competition. Temps in the summer can reach similar 90 plus with similar humidity. Often warnings will be issed not to be outside during the day because of the heat index reaching 110 in the shade
