    So per usual, the UK Government incompetently went for the easy solution of treating the symptom rather than the problem, switching to a cheaper (at the time) fuel source rather than enforcing more energy efficient homes, and now the people are literally paying the price for it…

    Sounds about right. Why do it the expensive way once, when you can do it the cheap way many times over.
