Families in London temporary housing told they cant use inbuilt air conditioning

Coming from Australia where current temperatures in London are normal summer temperatures here, it amazes me there's such push back in using air conditioning.

I appreciate there are infrastructure differences, however our homes don't have great insulation either and there is high use of AC's as its not even a question.

Using AC isn't a luxury, its a necessity in some places particular where there's children or elderly.

What a sad situation for those families, and kids, to be in. These buildings are not designed to be livable with just passive cooling, it seems.

Why does the UK have such an aversion to AC?

Also, why are homeless people being put up in luxury apartments on the taxpayer's dime?

every now and then I think the death penalty might not be all that bad.
