Wait, this is brilliant.
The UK is addicted to surveillance. When these lights got out in suburbia, the security cameras on your house are going to catch a whole lotta nothing!
Even better, any smart criminal is going to wait until they go out, mug 50 old women in the same neighborhood putting their cats/dogs out for the night, and be home before breakfast.
Saaaaayyyy...that isn't a bad idea! UK HERE I COME!

What the hell is happening with those Brits??
Exchanging human safety for CO2 emissions?? I’m just shaking my head on those wankers. The PC police has taken over....oh wait, the Muslims beat them to it.

Kinda reminds me of Atlas Shrugged.It would be a darned nice thing if, at midnight, the power company employees systematically shut down their respective generating plants and walked out into the darkness.

This in a country where they arrest homeowners who defend themselves against invaders.
Of course crime will increase, but the buggers in office don’t care.

I wonder when they will go back to conditions during World War Two of blacking out the headlights.
