I may be mistaken but
did I or did I not here the CEO of a certain power supplier
explaining that the huge increase in the cost of heating our homes
this year would scarcely benefit the company at all.
The price of purchasing
the fuel was very high.” he said. And don't we know the feeling!
The Government took the
lions share in taxes.”he said. Hmmmm!
We spend huge amounts
on the infra structure.”he said . I began to feel quite sorry for
the shareholders!
Today,that company
declared a profit of £979M, almost a billion and professed
themselves disappointed at not having made more! So what are we, the
long suffering consumers to make of this? It seems quite obvious that
someone,not to say the energy providers are taking the piss, either
that or they believe us to be so stupid that we will not notice the
anomaly,well...it has been noticed.
In an earlier blog I
suggested that as a protest against this kind of daylight robbery,and
in light of the fact that Parliament will do nothing, we should take
matters in to our own hands and refuse ,ass to pay our winter heating
bills. After all, they cannot jail everyone who refuses to pay! The
energy providers need money so they would be unable to hold out
against a determined band.
We need to get this
settled now, at once, before the elderly the vulnerable and the young
begin to suffer and die. We need these people to see that they bear
the responsibility for the welfare of those less able.
