There are plenty of such schemes. Not just free insulation but also
replacement heating systems. Your council should have information
available on these, mine does.

I've always found such things to have bureaucratic paperwork hurdles in the past.


Government has decided that they
should be directed to those in the greatest fuel poverty, which has
been defined as those on various benefits (including OAPs).

And my point is that it should be seen as a greater priority that benefits everyone in
the long term and shouldn't be restricted to those groups.


Government has decided that those who are not so badly off should
pay something themselves. If you disagree take it up with
government.

I said 'subsidised' would be adequate. Given the grants available for wind turbines and
the like, half-price should be the maximum one should have to pay.


However, that does not change the fact that your point is moot.

No it's not.
