Right so every single policy is 'designed to further the fortunes of their backers at the expense of the fortunes of the electorate' - I'd love to see some actual evidence of this. You know all of them....



Nay Bevan? Never heard of her.

Just look him up on Wikipedia, it's where you get everything from. If there's any polls on there you will tell us won't you?

There are some direct questions for you [url=http://viewtopic.php?p=17648738&tsmp=1385733725#p17648738here[/url.

At this rate it won't be long before those on 40% tax will be in fuel poverty.

Will Cameron now claim [url=http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/800000-people-lifted-out-offuel-poverty--by-redefining-it-8976232.html"We have lifted 800,000 people out of fuel poverty"?[/url



Not by doing anything practical to solve the problem but simply changing the definition of fuel poverty.



Just how dumb are the elctorate?

Dumb enough to think the £50 or so cut in bills is really a cut?



British Gas put bills up recently by an average of £123. They are going to cut them by £53 so British Gas customers are still going to be £70 a year worse off in 2014 than they were this year.



This is Cameron's "solution" to ever rising fuel bills. A one off rebate that doesn't actually lower bills.

There's also talk on the Westminster scuttlebuck that Gidiot is trying to get the energy companies to state that "the reduction is a result of government listening to peoples' concerns and working together with the industry to reduce domestic bills"

Labour release a new poster:

It's quite unbelievable really. The energy companies have contributed [unothing[/u to the reduction. The costs have been shifted from energy bills to income tax.



According to [url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-25181533Robert Peston at the BBC[/url the net result is an [iincrease[/i in bills of between four and five percent for all customers bar EDF who will stick with their increase of 3.9%.



I wonder how many EDF customers will be thinking they are due a reduction in their bills when they see headlines like this at the BBC "[url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-25181676Fuel bill cuts will follow energy policy change[/url"?

I also wonder how this "reduction" will feed through to those on pre-payment meters, they are usually the ones mostin need of any help. It has all the makings of another Cameron/Gidiot balls-up

So the "Big 6" have effectively held the HM Govt to ransom and got away with it!



Prices will still go up, customers will still get shafted by the energy providers and in addition have to pay more tax to pay for the green levy which was meant to penalise the energy companies for not reducing carbon emissions.



When viewed in conjunction with water bills and the ridiculous cost of public transport (especially rail) people are now realising the folly of Thatcher's privatisation of the essential services.
