RE: Should the UK government spend more money Insulating Poor People's Houses?

This is one of those things that makes such a difference, the investment has so many benefits, that you wonder what illogical reasoning govt has to not do it. It helps poor people, it helps the environment, it generates spending which helps the economy. And energy efficiency is SUCH easy pickings when it comes to environmental stuff with the impact it will have. But of course, your government and mine both have their priorities on backward when it comes to spending, but that's a different rant. ;)
Also, I've been in a poorly insulated home in winter and HOLY CROW it is not pleasant.

I agree, it is something of a no brainer to prioritise it.
I'm in an uninsulated house now, but being in Portugal it doesn't matter that much!
It was 18 degrees out today!
It's 14*C here today, which is like, crazy for January in Colorado, but I'm not complaining. We do need more moisture, though, I shudder to think what wildfire season is going to be like this year.
Oh yes you had it really bad last year if i remember correctly, just be prepared!
I have an air purifier now, which I only got at the end of last year's season and it made a huge difference, so at least I won't be wheezing all summer. I'm in the city proper so not too near the mountains or grasslands. But we already had a huge fire NW of me in December where a ton of people lost their homes and I know some animals and I think a few people died. :(
