In the United States, they announced the plight of the British abandoned by the authorities

Residents of the UK, who are not being helped by the government, are trying to find a way out of the country’s plight. About it reported in The New York Times (NYT).

Journalists drew attention to the fact that there is a wave of strikes in the kingdom, which have not been observed in the country for several decades. The strikers are supported by 65 percent of the British.

The publication noted that residents demand more government support against the backdrop of rapid inflation and a record recession in comparison with the G7 countries. Weather conditions also have a negative effect, according to the NYT. Thus, the cooling and rising prices lead to the fact that many Britons are not able to pay their heating bills.

Note that Europe is facing an unprecedented energy crisis caused by the rejection of Russian energy sources. Europeans are coming out to protest against the uncontrolled rise in prices for food, essential goods and housing and communal services.

A difficult situation is observed in the UK. In Bloomberg, the financial situation of the British was considered desperate. The inhabitants of the kingdom began to intensively prepare for the winter without heating. They are recommended to keep warm with the help of slippers in the microwave oven and hats with electric heating. Many Britons began to refuse heating in order not to get into debt.

Previously, the population of the UK was advised to close the curtains at night and insulate windows in order to keep the house warm and at the same time not to overpay for electricity in the face of increased prices.

UK Treasury Secretary Jeremy Hunt has said UK residents need to cut their electricity consumption by 15 percent to overcome the energy crisis. The Independent reported that the increase in food prices led to the fact that the British rushed to eat pet food.
