EU to move to permanent Summertime

[chopper]

In fact, we should ban other countries from using GMT altogether. Sod Ireland, Portugal, the Canary Islands.

Didn't know John Barrowman sang this in the remake.

If the EU moves to permanent summertime, they will almost certainly miss their global warming targets by quite a lot.

(A facile thread deserves a facile response...)

The EU will enjoy long light evenings well into the Winter. The UK of course won't be able to follow suit to demonstrate that they're not being pushed around by Brussels.

It's been known for a long time. There was even a song a few decades ago about it.

"Summertime and the living is EC".

no no, you've misunderstood, it's a plot

BREXIT Time scandal

Lost for words.

The ‘article’ seems to be deliberately aimed at gammons that don’t know/understand/care that there are multiple time zones across Europe anyway?

It’s like whack-a-mole, every day there’s a new “outrage” “caused by Europe” that isn’t based on any reality.

The EU currently has a rule which requires that member states adopt a twice yearly clock change in and out of summer time.

The proposal (for ratification by the European Parliament) is actually to remove that rule, and thereby leaving it up to member states to decide for themselves whether or not to adopt a twice yearly clock change.

The reality is boring, eh?
