During next night, it is time to move the clock, hopefully for the last time

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/10/30

Wasn’t the European Union going to stop moving clocks twice a year? Yup, as of it 2021 it should have stopped with the [Wayback] Seasonal clock change in the EU | Mobility and Transport.

But then Brexit came along, followed by Covid-19, and earlier 2021, this happened: [Wayback] Clock stops on EU plan to scrap daylight savings time

Background information and similar comics are at Likely the end of a tradition… ᴊᴏᴏsᴛ su Twitter: “Dear Mr. Juncker, you may not know this but here in Holland we have Dirk-Jan and it is tradition to read this comic twice a year don’t take this away from us it’s the only non-racist tradition we have!!!! Please!!!!!…”.
