Campaigners are making urgent calls for an emergency energy tariff following survey results that revealed nearly half of Welsh people fear being cold this winter.

New data from Opinium, commissioned by the Warm This Winter campaign found 47% of people in Wales are worried they will not be able to heat their homes during the cold months.

Across the UK, over half of people from vulnerable households (56%) and nearly two thirds (63%) of people living in a household where someone is suffering from a pre-existing health condition or is disabled are worried about being cold this winter.

The Euros and Brits in their "garden" are just now beginning to understand what it actually means to be vassals of their "ally" the US. Most will still find a way to blame it on their go-to mustache-twirling Putler Marvel villain somehow, rather than the leader of the regime who outright and openly said they'd make sure Europe would not be allowed energy independence. Europe is in for some trying times ahead (to put it lightly) and even more so because their countries' imaged "sovereignty" and wealth is going to be siphoned away even more than it already is by the very empire those countries used to only benefit from.
