Chris’ call on clocks

-

A FOUNDING member of the band Squeeze is calling for the clocks not to go back this weekend, as the UK faces the double bind of increasing coronaviru­s restrictio­ns and shortening days.

Chris Difford said the new normal is frightenin­g for many and that natural light is “one of the greatest tonics for mental health”. The clocks are due to go back one hour on Sunday at 2am, which will mean lighter mornings but an earlier sunset, with darkness falling at around 4pm in December.
