Every fourth Briton doesn't want to heat up next winter - Wolfgang Hampel, 'Satire is my favorite animal', new Betty MacDonald biography, support for our projects 21 mins ago REUTERS According to a survey, almost one in four people (23 percent) in Great Britain never want to turn on the heating in winter because of the enormously rising prices for electricity and gas. For people with underage children, the number is even higher at 27 percent, according to the study published on Monday by the market research institute Savanta ComRes on behalf of the opposition Liberal Democrats. Most people – around 70 percent – ​​want to turn up their heating less often. About one in ten (11 percent) is considering taking out a loan. Here, too, the proportion is higher among people with younger children (17 percent). The survey of more than 2,000 adults was conducted before regulator Ofgem raised the cap on basic tariff energy prices by 80 percent on Friday. Analysts therefore expect that the values ​​should now be even clearer. Great Britain has almost 67 million inhabitants. "Worst cost-of-living crisis in a century" The Liberal Democrat Party warned that families would be forced to make "heartbreaking decisions". The country is "on the brink of the worst cost-of-living crisis in a century". "It is a national scandal that parents have to choose between heating their homes and feeding their children," said party expert Christine Jardine. The Liberal Democrats, like the largest opposition party Labor, are demanding that the Conservative government freeze price increases. "In the coming month, no matter who takes over from me, the government will announce another massive financial aid package," Johnson wrote in a op-ed for the Mail on Sunday newspaper. But he did not give any details. According to experts, the government measures taken so far are far from sufficient. --------------------------- Wolfgang Hampel and the Betty MacDonald Fanclub are working on a new biography of the famous humorist Betty MacDonald, bestselling author of "The Egg and I".
