Gas & Electricity

I do realise that they pay tax back - 100% of public sector salaries IS tax.
private makes - public takes.
put the horse before the cart.

You have a very simplistic outlook which is almost totally at odds with reality.

Is this a public sector appreciation society/convention? - GET REAL -no strikes, they bring more misery on the general pop.

Do you understand what empathy is?

This doesn’t suggest why France have 4% higher bills and we are about 225% so far.

I believe that some MP’s (Rishi Sunak for one) think we all have pots of money stashed away from lockdown and we can easily afford the rising costs….

I realise that carbon zero and the Ukrainian war is the main reason for price hike - and WE ALL need to pull our belts in - the public sector included. they can not have pay rises, some people are blind to that.

Why is carbon zero one of the main reasons for the price hike?

The cost of wind, solar and hydroelectric generated electricity is way lower than gas generated electricity.

The reason prices have gone up so much is that the formula for determining the price of electricity uses the most expensive fuel as its baseline, which is currently gas. The whole energy market needs reforming.

Carbon zero is a red herring for the gullible.

So this was in 2015 - is this acceptable to you?

Fifty thousand NHS staff earn 'at least £100,000'

There are more than 50,000 people in the NHS who earned more than £100,000 in 2013-14, an investigation by the Taxpayers' Alliance and Daily Mail shows.

NO - do you work in the public sector?

How many earn that amount in the private sector?

What value do you put on a doctor? More or less than a banker?

Do you understand what empathy is?

Yes, but you clearly don’t - I have empathy for the millions of pensioners and single parents who can’t afford the incoming costs, without the naive/uncaring public sector sticking extra tax demands on top - get real.

These costs have zero effect on the prices to come.

It‘s a similar argument to suggest Nottingham Forest are spending too much. Haven’t they seen that the price of fuel is going up dramatically?

Thats not relevant either.
