Re: Ouch ! 35% price hike from British Gas
The household fuel prices have got out of control...just a thought..if the Electricity and gas were still public companies..would this, or any Goverment, risk losing votes by allowing such price increases while making huge profits?.. I think not... thanks alot Maggie Thatch!

Think it time for the power suppliers to be re-natonalised and then hope that the profits can be set back to keep costs down

This shower of turkey's have been in power for eleven years and still they harp on about the past. Eleven years to get thing right is a hell of a long time. OK, we have slated Maggie.....Throw her into the Thames you say. What about throwing GB off the Forth Bridge for good measure? Harold Wilson made a complete balls of the countries finances.....Gordon Brown is doing exactly the same. |

Re: Ouch ! 35% price hike from British Gas
I don’t mind a company making a bit of profit, heck I expect our largest companies to make a profit and do well.
When an industry as a whole has the market cornered and companies in that industry are making obscene profits ( think BP are doin £37m per day right now ) I think that it stinks that they seem to do little for the needy of the country. |
Re: Ouch ! 35% price hike from British Gas
Be under no illusion. A nationalised company still has to produce things at cost to the taxpayer. The huge rises in wholesale energy pricing would still affect it.
Now which do I want; A company that has no competition and no incentive to do better or produce cheaper products, or a company that has to compete for its customers, driving the prices down. Monopolies are terrible for the consumer, whether it be public or private. It is only through competition that we can ensure our providers do not get complacent. |

Would say our suppliers are being very complacent and they don't give a toss about the poor beggars who need what they are selling!!!!!
