People do make things up.

What about those in charge of those countries with even HIGHER gas and electricity prices. Eg Angela Merkel & François Hollande are toffs?

These figures show that average domestic electricity prices in the UK, including taxes, last year were the fourth lowest among 15 EU countries, and the fourth highest among the G7 group of nations. For gas, domestic prices in the UK in 2012 were the second lowest among the 15 EU counties that were compared, and the third lowest in the G7.

But we are not talking about what happens abroad but about the many working people and people in poverty struggling this winter and having to decide whether to keep themselves warm or feed themselves and in 2013 that's nothing to be proud of as a country.

Of course if the "green subsidy" was put through general taxation(if we must have it) instead of tagged onto the bills things would be easier ,i believe that was the bright idea of a certain Mr Millibrain who had a whole dept created for him by Brown and now in a move of unprecedented idiocy he announced that he would cap profits by energy companies if he got into power ,what the hell did he think would happen when he announced this ,Millibrain needs taking out of circulation before he causes any more damage

François Hollande is the president of France not a country

Gary L · 20-10-2013, 11:53

Well, he's not bothered about France either, too

What have we got coming?? 15 years of Tory ineptitude but that's just the norm for the Tories isn't it? We wouldn't be in this mess if the Tories hadn't sold the energy companies off.

Just remember the Tories started the mess back in the late 80's / early 90's.

Just as well people didn't think that about Churchill in 1940....

I would rather judge a person from their actions than by their parents income, but you may find it easier to use stereotypes (but would probably be annoyed if people started making comments about 'typical taxi driver' or 'working class oik', etc etc.....).

Taking political colours out of this we are in the mess because of a lack of investment and lack of foresight by all political's parties and its us the consumer who is paying for it at the end of the day and lets hope the spectre of blackouts does not happen in the next few years because if they do then whatever party is in power we are going to have a distinctly unhappy public that's for sure.
