Re: Energy Company Profits
Big business will rarely pass on savings to their consumer if the consumer is in a weak position - that's what gave rise to the co-operative movement in the first place. Many of them claim to putting profit's back into improving the company but if that is so, why does the UK still rely heavily on a sewage system built by the Victorians and the rail network is still one of the worst in Europe. The profits go to the shareholders, simple as that.Re: Energy Company Profits
I don't read or listen to anything to do with the whole energy scandal anymore Mark, it upsets me too much, the greed goes on completely unbridled, the companies have become more powerful than any government and we are now entirely at their mercy, they can charge anything they wish and we will have to pay it, the whole thing depresses me, and I am not easily depressed.Re: Energy Company Profits
One thing may console you Jem (it certainly amuses me) is that they timed their price hike (as always) at the costliest time of year for consumers - then we have one of the mildest autumns and winters for a long long time; that gives me a certain amount of satisfaction. Thank goodness they can't control the weather!Re: Energy Company Profits

What I learnt the other day is the big 6 have been collecting money off all their customers to help the poorest people to insulate their homes but apparently they haven't used a lot of the money, it is just sitting there.Re: Energy Company Profits
