When Parliament Finally Got Lit <br><br>Few debates in Parliament ever shine as bright as the one about neon signage. But on a spring night in the Commons, Britain’s lawmakers did just that. <br><br>the formidable Ms Qureshi rose to defend neon’s honour. Her pitch was sharp, clear, and glowing: real neon is culture, and the market is being flooded with false neon pretenders. <br><br>She declared without hesitation: only gas-filled glass earns the name neon—everything else is marketing spin. <br><br>Backing her up was Chris McDonald, MP for Stockton North, sharing his own neon commission from artist Stuart Langley. For once, the benches agreed: neon is more than signage, it’s art. <br><br>The stats hit hard. Britain has just a few dozen neon artisans left. No trainees are coming through. The idea of a certification mark or British Standard was floated. <br><br>Even the DUP’s Jim Shannon joined in, backed by numbers, noting global neon growth at 7.5% a year. His point: there’s room for craft and commerce to thrive together. <br><br>Closing the debate, Chris Bryant had his say. He couldn’t resist the puns, getting heckled for it in good humour. Behind the quips, he admitted the case was strong. <br><br>He highlighted neon as both commerce and culture: from Walthamstow Stadium’s listed sign. He said neon’s eco-reputation is unfairly maligned. <br><br>So what’s the issue? The truth is simple: retailers blur the lines by calling LED neon. That erases heritage. <br><br>If food has to be labelled honestly, why not signs?. If it’s not distilled in Scotland, it’s not Scotch. <br><br>In that chamber, the question was authenticity itself. Do we want every high street, every bedroom wall, every bar front to glow with the same plastic [https://wikicap.ulb.be/index.php?title=The_Cultural_Case_For_Neon LED neon Signs London] sameness? <br><br>At Smithers, we know the answer: authentic glow beats plastic glow every time. <br><br>The Commons had its glow-up. No Act has passed—yet, but the spotlight is on. <br><br>And if MPs can argue for real neon under the oak-panelled glare of the House, you can sure as hell hang one in your lounge, office, or bar. <br><br>Bin the plastic pretenders. When you want true glow—glass, gas, and craft—come to the source. <br><br>The fight for neon is on.
