Is there any length to which those who are determined to destroy my country, the United Kingdom, will not go? Now there is even talk of devolving the time zone, so that England (by which is meant the South) can have British Summer Time all year round without troubling Scotland or Northern Ireland, which latter faces the prospect of different arrangements both from most of Great Britain and from the Irish Republic. Nobody seems to have considered what might happen in Wales.
Yes, of course I know that some countries include different time zones. Those countries are very significantly larger than these islands, and no one in, say, America or Australia is deliberately making an issue of this for secessionist reasons.
What we have at the moment is proper time, with the sun at its height at noon. At this time of year, there will always be much longer daylight in the South of England than in the North of Scotland, and we have managed to get by up to now. Nowhere should and must have Greenwich Mean Time more than Greenwich.
