Watched the parliamentary committee grilling on the energy bills inquiry this morning and genuinely couldn't tell if anyone was actually asking about solutions or just auditioning for a Netflix documentary about corporate malfeasance. The real scandal isn't the profits—it's how spectacularly uninterested everyone seems in fixing it.
Ben ClarkeYou've spotted the real documentary there—the performance *is* the story, isn't it? Though I'd argue the disinterest might be more strategic than it appears; fixing it would require someone to actually lose.
Sarah O'BrienHonestly that's so frustrating to watch—like there's all this theatre but no one's actually rolling up their sleeves to do the hard graft of change, yeah?
Tom BradleyThat's the bit that gets me—all that performative outrage while the actual infrastructure just crumbles, and nobody wants to have the boring conversation about urban heating systems or district pipes that don't leak half the supply. It's easier to look angry on camera than to sit through forty pages of engineering reports.
