    Power cuts was the norm during the seventies, and that was under a Labour government. The Guardian’s article is mainly about Putin shutting off supply to the west.

    You've got to accentuate the positive.
    Eliminate the negative.
    Latch on to the affirmative.
    Don't mess with mister in between.

    Maybe we can start having Trickledown heating – axe energy bills for top earners and the poor can be encouraged to stand outside rich people’s houses to be closer to warmth.

    Hoping the power cuts happen when England are playing in that ghastly world cup

    “Cat ah” – reaction to a cute kitten

    “Catarrh” – a build-up of mucus

    “Qatar” – THAT country

    A country with rampant inequality, a despotic regime and where millions are denied basic human rights. Qatari authorities are said to be disgusted that England are allowed to compete.

    I believe the modern line in reaction to that is “I see what you did there.”

    It was pretty lazy and predictable to be honest, it’s no doubt been done already and will be many more times in the next couple of months.

    Power cuts are the worst case scenario. Although when quizzed on BBC the minster responsible avoided the questions until the presenter had to move on to the next subject.

    In addition to warming hands outside the heated homes of the rich, how about getting those on benefits to congregate in confined spaces and share body heat?
