When Neon Stormed Westminster

It’s not often you hear the words "neon sign" echoing inside the hallowed halls of Westminster. But on a spring night in the Commons, Britain’s lawmakers did just that.

the formidable Ms Qureshi stood up and lit the place up with a speech defending neon sign makers. Her pitch was sharp, clear, and glowing: glass and gas neon is an art form, and the market is being flooded with false neon pretenders.

She reminded the House: only gas-filled glass earns the name neon—everything else is marketing spin.

another MP backed the case, custom light displays (just click the up coming web site) sharing his own neon commission from artist Stuart Langley. For once, the benches agreed: neon is more than signage, it’s art.

Facts gave weight to the emotion. The craft has dwindled from hundreds to barely two dozen. The pipeline of skill is about to close forever. She pushed for law to protect the word "neon" the way Harris Tweed is legally protected.

Enter Jim Shannon, DUP, backed by numbers, noting global neon growth at 7.5% a year. His point: there’s room for craft and commerce to thrive together.

The government’s man on the mic was Chris Bryant. Even ministers can’t help glowing wordplay, and Madam Deputy Speaker shot back with "sack them". Behind the quips, he admitted the case was strong.

He reminded MPs that neon is etched into Britain’s memory: from Piccadilly Circus and fish & chip shop fronts. He said neon’s eco-reputation is unfairly maligned.

Why all this talk? The glow is fading: fake LED "neon" signs are being flogged everywhere online. That erases heritage.

Think of it like whisky or champagne. If it’s not distilled in Scotland, it’s not Scotch.

What flickered in Westminster wasn’t bureaucracy but identity. Do we let homogenisation kill character in the name of convenience?

We’re biased, but we’re right: authentic glow beats plastic glow every time.

Parliament literally debated neon heritage. The outcome isn’t law yet, but the spotlight is on.

If neon can reach Westminster, it can reach your living room.

Bin the plastic pretenders. If you want authentic neon, handmade the way it’s meant to be, you know where to find it.

The glow isn’t going quietly.
