Electricity constraints - What is "I will not comply" about?

[Lilith7]

I stayed in bed. No heaters beyond the cylinder, but I did boil the kettle. Twice. For tea, lol. And I will probably stay here for another hour or so till the sun moves a little further into the room.

Sometimes 'claiming rights' is another way of saying 'I'm selfish'.

It does sound like the 'sovereign citizens' lot.

I suspect it was sheer idiocy...there's a very marked contrast between the attitude of those people & the attitude of most during things such as WW2, when virtually everyone worked together & did what was needed for the good of everyone. 

And this does rather reek of selfishness.
