The Day Westminster Debated Static and Glow
It sounds bizarre today: in the shadow of looming global conflict, MPs in Westminster were arguing about neon signs.
Gallacher, never one to mince words, rose to challenge the government. How many complaints had rolled in about wireless sets being ruined by neon signage?
The figure was no joke: around a thousand complaints in 1938 alone.
Imagine it: London glowing wall lights the soundtrack of Britain in 1938, interrupted not by enemy bombers but by shopfront glow.
Major Tryon confessed the problem was real. But here’s the rub: the government had no legal power to force neon owners to fix it.
He said legislation was being explored, but warned the issue touched too many interests.
Which meant: more static for listeners.
Gallacher shot back. He pushed for urgency: speed it up, Minister, people want results.
Mr. Poole piled in too. Wasn’t the state itself one of the worst offenders?
The Minister squirmed, order neon signs London saying yes, cables were part of the mess, which only complicated things further.

From today’s vantage, it feels rich with irony. Neon was once painted as the noisy disruptor.
Fast forward to today and it’s the opposite story: the once-feared glow is now the heritage art form begging for protection.
---
So what’s the takeaway?
Neon has never been neutral. It’s always pitted artisans against technology.
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.
---
Don’t settle for plastic impostors. 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.
We make it.
