Britain’s Glow Problem: MPs Debate Wireless Interference

1939’s Strange Neon vs Wireless Battle
It might seem almost comic now: in June 1939, just months before Britain plunged into war, the House of Commons was debating glowing shopfronts.
Gallacher, never one to mince words, stood up and asked the Postmaster-General a peculiar but pressing question. Was Britain’s brand-new glow tech ruining the nation’s favourite pastime – radio?
The reply turned heads: roughly one thousand cases logged in a single year.
Imagine it: ordinary families huddled around a crackling set, desperate for dance music or speeches from the King, only to hear static and buzzing from the local cinema’s neon sign.
Postmaster-General Major Tryon admitted the scale of the headache. The snag was this: there was no law compelling interference suppression.
He said legislation was being explored, but warned the issue touched too many interests.
In plain English: no fix any time soon.
Gallacher shot back. People were paying licence fees, he argued, and they deserved a clear signal.
Mr. Poole piled in too. What about the Central Electricity Board and their high-tension cables?
The Minister squirmed, admitting it made the matter "difficult" but offering no real solution.
---
Looking back now, this debate is almost poetic. Neon was once painted as the noisy disruptor.
Eighty years on, the irony bites: the once-feared glow is now the heritage art form begging for protection.
---
What does it tell us?
Neon has never been neutral. It’s always forced society to decide what kind of light it wants.
Second: every era misjudges neon.
---
Here’s the kicker. We see the glow that wouldn’t be ignored.
That old debate shows neon has always mattered. And it still does.
---
Ignore the buzzwords of "LED personalised neon signs London". Authentic glow has history on its side.
If neon could jam the nation’s radios in 1939, it can sure as hell light your lounge, office, or storefront in 2025.
Choose glow.
You need it.
