‘This isn’t 1822’, Brits call for further action
One elderly Brit from Milton Keynes, was previously hospitalised for hypothermia and will not let that happen again this winter.
Caroline Wright told ITV: “I’m dreading winter. I’ve got a choice between heat or eat, and that is no choice at all.
“My fuel is out of the window. My rent’s just been put up by. Another £200 or something like that.”
“[The support] isn’t anywhere near enough,” she said.
“And it’s not just me that’s going to suffer. It’s all the other people.
“There are literally millions of people out there who will suffer.
“I think it’s disgusting.
“It’s a modern day and age and here I am wrapping up in a blanket, wondering if I’m going to live through winter. We’re in 2022. Not in 1822.”
