I have been at a loss for a while now. People keep saying we are one of the richest countries in the world; if this is so, why do we have so may people using food banks, choosing between food or fuel?

I think the word is "inequality".

As sure as day follows night....

regardless of party they are all just free loading ****'s aren't they? As soon as they get the expenses system explained to them they don't ask " eh? - how is that right?" - its " do I have to bring my own bread to dip?" and get the answer " I am afraid you do - but you may claim the cost back on expenses of course"

Nope, these companies already pay a big chunk of tax on their profits. Truss wants to solve the energy crisis long term by encouraging them to invest, you don't do that by confiscating their profits.

And how do you encourage have a quite word, then maybe after all these years they might just start doing something after all these years they have never done before by investing in the infrastructure instead of lining their executive and shareholders pockets, Then maybe if I just believe enough I can flap my arms enough I will take flight.

And here's the evidence that you are living in cloud cuckoo land

Investor payouts have hit a record high as energy companies cash in on the oil and gas crisis which has left households facing soaring bills.

Global dividends surged 11.3pc to an all-time quarterly high of $544.8bn (£463.2bn) in the second quarter of 2022, according to investment firm Janus Henderson, as soaring cash flows from high oil prices funded chunky payouts.

Energy behemoths BP, Shell and British Gas owner Centrica are among those to have announced massive profits, dividend payments and share buybacks in the past month after benefiting from huge rises in the oil and gas market.

You give them a choice between reinvesting or paying a fuck tonne of tax.

Its a strange time when you live in a country where the waiting time to see the Monarchs Coffin is less than the waiting time to see your GP.
