Daylight Saving is Daylight Robbery. How your government keeps you in the dark.

Why does daylight need saving anyway?

The Greenwich Royal Observatory introduced daylight saving time to Britain almost 150 years ago, since then it has plunged British winters into eternal darkness. It used to be for the train timetables, after all, every few miles you travelled you’d gain or lose a few minutes. However, nowadays the government uses agriculture as an excuse for inflicting S.A.D on the country every year,

For Britain, daylight savings time means that farmers up North can see what they were doing in the wee hours of the winter. That’s all very well, but the last time I checked less than half a million British workers are currently employed in the agricultural sector. Which means that almost 67 million of us miss out on months of winter sun. It’s practically a punishment, a taste of the Arctic Circle for the unruly mob. Yet, for some bizarre reason, misery prevails and everybody in the UK takes it like a champ.

There are some days, if you can call them that, more like a few hours, when the sun barely makes an appearance. Add a little weather modification into the mix and you’re guaranteed gloom and doom until Spring. A lack of daylight can cause seasonal affective disorder, or even severe depression. I wonder how much that costs the country every year in lost working days?

Daylight saving isn’t even green or environmental, but it does make plenty of cash for the energy markets. Darker evenings means more lights and heating, and less social life, with most people scurrying home after work. They could be spending their hard earned cash at local restaurants and bars, keeping the local economy alive after the New Year hangover. I guess farming comes first, no matter how much daylight savings cost the British economy.

If the corporate state honestly believes that technology is the solution to all our problems, then why are we still living in the dark? We, the people, should be able to decide when we’d like see the sun rise and fall. Not the royal wizards of the prime meridian.
