So is the problem in the UK insulation/good quality of build, rather than the heating method? We can keep spending money and resources to heat outside.

Ah, thought it was for the inside the cabin.
For the outside it is needed. Then seeing how some people are on headphones or just in their own world, does it matter...
indeed many homes suffered with very poor insulation, bad windows , solid walls , etc, plus air changes not adhered to , ie , moisture etc, then the incorrect heating application applied , leading the end user to spend far more money
of course have at the other end passive houses but heard complaints about them as well where they dry the air so much
in a well insulated home with good windows, correct air changes a condensing boiler and UFH were very good
when I was at work would use a thermal imaging camera , would be amazed of all the cold areas

No no no, the answer is where you can, you should, you must. Where you have no options you need choices. You cannot force people on to systems that don’t offer an outcome.
Where I live by choice, I no option but oil and wood for heating. I’m a polluter, however like a company carbon offset scheme, the thousands that benefit for heat source etc offset my emissions and I do what I can by driving an EV (and a 4.6 RR) and by having a solar system.

My house was built in 1881, long before cavity walls and insulation was heard of. We do have loft insulation, and double glazing, for what it's worth.
I heat with oil and wood, there's not really a cost effective alternative. However I do keep the thermostat to 19°C, which helps my carbon footprint a bit. I put about 13,000 kWhr of heat into my house per year, but that also covers hot water to, which I don't think is bad for an old house like mine.

Ah well. The earth is probably gonna die and we're gonna go well before that.

Do not worry, Earth will be there way past us, in its history we are not even a spec. Earth does not depend on us, but we depend on it.

It's still gonna die.
A real house then , adore the older houses full of character
in cases like that I’ve done some pipe alterations to zone upstairs and downstairs separate from one another with there own stats
did do a full central heating installation in a brick/ timber house that had been built around the 15/16th century , was gorgeous but my god it was difficult trying to run some of the pipes , along with none of the floors being level so was good fun hanging the rads , lol
another one was a barn conversion, luckily was able to run most of it hidden away in plastic Pex pipe, hardest thing with both of these houses being listed , also ran some of the pipes up some of the discussed chimneys, or behind false panelling / beam covers to hide the pipes
one barn conversion we done UFH , was also good seeing the heat could be set alot lower than conventional rads

In classic fashion we have went off topic from the original OP
Re the original post, spoke about it with a friend and he has read that a lot of it happens in London, but not in rural. The working assumption there is that such people in the rural would have a shotgun. Have you thought of getting an UK NRA sticker?
Saying that, your does come across as non-eco cause damage.

I am in deepest darkest rural Norfolk, yes not really heard of here lots of land rovers of all shapes and flavors, on reflection it was most likely just a fooking idiot lots of them too, you should see Saturday night and a full moon
If you're only travelling five miles get a bike. No D3 exposed to keys, save on fuel and get fitter. It's a win win win situation
But it's all bollox to the majority of people on here, me included. I need clear spaced letters in inglish to understand
I support the Fully Charged channel on Youtube. I only watched it because it is presented by Robert LLewellyn of Red Dwarf fame. I'd have an EV tomorrow but for the same reason why i drive an old Ibiza and BMW instead of a new F-Type Jag. I can't afford the one i want. They are all 30k+ and i refuse to pay that much for ANY car
I don't think they are getting lighter, per se. They are getting more energy dense, so more power per KG so you need less battery (lighter) than before to get the same energy capacity.
If memory serves it was a Jaguar E Pace hybrid. I think the biggest critisism was that the relatively new multi story had been built without a sprinkler system. It wouldn't have put out the original car as the batteries produce their own oxygen to feed the fire, but would have helped with the rest of them that joined in.
