Stay on British Summer Time this October 2020
I suggest that in response to the current Covid-19 Pandemic we should RETAIN British Summer Time and NOT turn the clocks back to GMT.
Returning to Greenwich Mean Time in October would plunge our nation into darkness and massively impact on our nations mental and physical well-being.

For many years it has baffled me why we put our clocks back to GMT. When I started secondary school at age 11, I faced the long journey home in the dark come October. I questioned then and question now, over 40 years later, the safety of returning to GMT and it’s effect on the mental health and welfare of our nation.
