Gas & Electricity

How many people are gonna die in winter? too afraid to heat their home. Fucking shocking.

Yep sleeping at the wheel.

I think a lot of people simply will refuse to pay these bills to be honest.
It's not the right course of action of course as you could end up with a criminal record but what happens if millions refuse to pay?

You get put on a prepayment meter and pay more.

Truss worries me , she is talking about putting more money in the pockets of those who contribute to society , what about us who are sick, disabled and unable to contribute , i am very scared by her approach . She might give crumbs to universal credit recievers but i am on the older style benefits still through no fault of my own , they havent moved me over yet , i didnt get the twenty pounds during covid so would miss out again , i am very scared what will happen when i come off my fix in dec , very scared

Our fixed deal ends next month. Email from E.on saying they'd like to increase our DD from £163 to £561 to fix again (obvs not going to do that). £311 per month when it moves on to the standard tariff in a few weeks.... But guess only until October when it'll go up again by another staggering amount. Madness.

Just simply unsustainable. People are going to riot.

No idea how is normal working class people will be able to pay these bills

Whilst I’m all in favour of nationalising the energy companies, I think it’s more than a bit disingenuous to dump all the blame on them. Prices are high because the commodity prices are high. This has been in large part self inflicted by the imposition of sanctions against Russia and Iran. Politicians will always look for a scapegoat.

Yeh, if that really is the case - i physically won't be able to afford it

Open up your chimneys and start burning wood, anything to heat the home, fuck their green agenda.

Wood ain’t cheap.

I guess not you'd have to try finding it; n woods etcetera. Lots of people may start losing fences lol.

I’m sure that will happen. Wood needs months to dry out though. Burning wet wood would mean your windows would need to be open, negating having a fire in the first place!

Welcome to the 70's

The dippers will make a fortune on all those candles.

Possibly leaked to get the public used to the idea so when/if it happens it'll be more palatable.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Won’t this be filed under #ProjectFear by the Daily Mail etc?

Cheaper to burn £10 notes
