Abolish British Summer Time (BST), Daylight Savings Time (DST).
Clock changes harm health, disrupt sleep, and increase accidents. Energy savings are outdated. A stable time year-round simplifies lives and boosts well-being. Abolish BST/DST for consistency, safety, and healthier living—let’s end unnecessary clock changes.

Background
Clock changes harm health: heart attacks rise 24% (Michigan Medicine), strokes 8% (Finland study). Fatal crashes increase 6% after “spring forward” (Univ. of Colorado). DST no longer saves energy (DOE studies). Stable time improves health, safety, and aligns with human biology.
