Make GMT the standard time zone year-round
Help put an end to the pointless biannual clock-switching ritual, as it serves no practical or logical purpose and is actually detrimental to people's health and wellbeing. Hora Solaris (Solar Time) has been active since 2020 and is allied with the International Alliance for Natural Time or IANT.
People are tired of this futile twice-yearly action, as it has no advantages for their physical or mental health, particularly since there is a large section of the population with social anxiety. The most egregious example of this is in the United States, where many states risk having permanent DST, and their residents are suffering greatly from its side-effects, including unnatural darkness and an increase in dangerous driving and/or RTAs. Full GMT would prevent this from happening in the UK.
