When Neon Hit Parliament’s Agenda — and LEDs Loomed Large

Posted by Smithers

Earlier this year, while Britain was glued to Love Island, the Commons took a glowing turn. the debate turned neon, standing up for real craft.

Yep — neon signage hit the House of Commons.
And it wasn’t PR fluff.
It was a Commons speech with bite.

�� The Dying Craft Behind the Glow
Yasmin laid it bare:

Only less than thirty full-time glass benders left in Britain. That’s less than a football squad.

Real neon signs neon is being outshouted by £30 plug-ins, masquerading as neon.

And neon sign signs Google? Stuffed with algorithm-friendly fluff. Search "neon sign" and find 800 of the same tapeworm signs.

�� Static in the System
It’s not just LED tubes — it’s the whole ecosystem.

Every product is duplicated.
Small studios like Neon Creations are drowned without ad spend.

At Smithers, we feel it too:
We still fill with gas. No shortcuts, no imports. But algorithms ignore artistry.

�� What Parliament Could Do (But Won’t)
Qureshi suggested:

- A legal definition of neon backed by law
- Craft regulation
- Training and apprenticeships

But what was delivered?

Lip service.
A Bob Marley quote.
No bans, neon sign no money, no protection.

�� Bottom Line
If it’s not filled with fire, it’s not neon.

LED "neon" = fake.
Calling it neon? an insult.

�� Smithers’ Stand
At Smithers, we’re not going quiet.
We bend glass, burn fingers, and light spaces.

Want the real thing? Forget page one of Google. Find us.

✊ Last Word
The world doesn’t need LED landfill.
It needs authentic glow.

So Westminster, stop punning and start protecting.

Because if Smithers folds, real neon dies.

�� Gas + glass or nothing.
�� Protect the artistry.
