<br>When Parliament Finally Got Lit 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. Labour MP Yasmin Qureshi stood up and lit the place up with a speech defending neon sign makers. Her pitch was sharp, clear, and glowing: real neon is culture, and the market is being flooded with false neon pretenders. She hammered the point: only gas-filled glass earns the name neon—everything else is marketing spin.<br><br>Chris McDonald chimed in from the benches, sharing his own neon commission from artist Stuart Langley. The mood in the chamber was almost electric—pun intended. Numbers told the story. Only 27 full-time neon glass benders remain in the UK. The pipeline of skill is about to close forever. The idea of a certification mark or British Standard was floated. Enter Jim Shannon, DUP, citing growth reports, pointing out that neon is an expanding industry. His point: there’s room for craft and commerce to thrive together.<br><br>The government’s man on the mic was Chris Bryant. Even ministers can’t help glowing wordplay, earning laughter across the floor. 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 stressed neon lasts longer than LED when maintained. Why all this talk? The glow is fading: fake LED "neon" signs are being flogged everywhere online. That erases heritage.<br><br>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? At Smithers, we know the answer: authentic glow beats plastic glow every time. So yes, Westminster talked neon. No Act has passed—yet, the case has been made. If neon can reach Westminster, it can reach your living room.<br><br>Skip the LED wannabes. If you want authentic neon, handmade the way it’s meant to be, you know where to find it. Parliament’s been lit—now it’s your turn. <br><br><br>If you have any queries relating to exactly where and how to use [https://www.cbkps.com/bbs/board.php?bo_table=free&wr_id=160055 BrightGlow Signs], you can speak to us at our own page.
