Sorry guys not football related but i for one am completely sick of the cost of Energy bills and the forecasted cost of it all.
Seriously wtf did the earth say to suppliers sorry im charging you more to take gas from me as if October?
The government don’t give a chit the energy suppliers just care about there profits a complete and utter sham and completely criminal that they are allowed to get away with this.
The below is on sky news at the moment.
https://news.sky.com/story/energy-bills-forecast-to-rise-even-higher-than-previously-thought-12668906
Energy bills are expected to rise even further this winter than previously forecast, according to the latest from energy consultancy Cornwall Insight.
Bills are now expected to reach approximately £3,582 a year for the average household from October - up from the £3,359 predicted earlier this month. That compares to the price cap last October of £1,277.
From January, the amount is expected to hit £4,266 before continuing to rise in April to £4,427 - the previous forecast was for £3,729 in April.
This October's price cap will be announced by energy regulator Ofgem on 26 August.
This Is Now A Joke

If she gets it, then I'm just relieved it won't be sunak. What a c!nt that man is

Could have been a lot lot worse, Jeremy Hunt
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They’re all f*cking Tories, it can’t get any worse than that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That’s very true but there’s a special place in hell waiting for Hunt
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He's about as left wing a Conservative MP as you'll find. He's also as thick as pig shti, but I wouldn't agree that that merits a place in hell.

alot of people are sleep walking into this
just like most of the brit population did at the start of 2020 with covid
don't think it's going to really hit home how bad this is until the new tariffs come in, in a couple of months and the colder weather returns

The whole thing is total madness. There are 1000s of young men being killed, plus half the world is going into recession or worse, and a real risk of escalation to world war, because an actor who got elected to be president of Ukraine refused to agree to Ukraine not joining NATO.

Well after todays announcement from the Bank of England , there is something very very very wrong in the system...
So... let me get this straight:
* British Gas made a profit of £1.3bn between January & June
* BP announced profits of £6.95 billion between April and June alone
* Shell has profited by £9.4bn in a year
The MEN at the top:
* John Pettigrew, boss of National Grid received £6.5m bonus on top of his salary
* Chris O’Shea, chief executive of British Gas owner Centrica was paid almost £2m last year in salary and benefits
* Centrica's non-executive directors were paid almost £1m
* Scottish Power's CEO Keith Anderson is on £1.15m.
* E.On boss Michael Lewis is on £1m
* EDF's Simone Rossi is also on £1m
* And their top execs enjoyed a share of £4.65m
* Peter Simpson of Anglian Water earned a £1.3m pay package
* Welsh Water bosses awarded themselves bonuses of over £930,000
* Severn Trent bosses awarded themselves bonuses of £5.56m
* Thames Water's Sarah Bentley, received a £727,000 bonus on top of her £2m annual salary
Meanwhile there are...
* People who haven't had breakfast and/or lunch TODAY, because they can't afford it.
* People using FoodBanks because food is becoming more of a luxury than a necessity.
* Children celebrating a birthday without presents.
* Parents worrying about new school uniforms - and some schools enforcing rules which are not cost-effective.
* People who can't get to work because they can't afford to put petrol in their cars/pay for public transport anymore.
* People who are working so much they're making themselves ill, and they STILL CAN'T AFFORD to pay their bills.
* People who have been given fines by these same energy/water companies because they couldn't afford to pay their bills in the first place - increasing their debt.
* Customers being told to do STAR JUMPS TO KEEP WARM for crying out loud!
* Hose pipe bans when gallons of water leak away everyday.
* Elderly people NOT DRINKING because they're worried about running out of water!!!
All this and energy prices are set to rise up to 75% in October...
THIS IS MADNESS!.. I'm all for supporting profits ..I'm not for supporting greed at the cost of lives of others..
Something needs to change..
Why are customers' money being used to make life more comfortable for those who are making life more intolerable for the rest of us?
I actually don't understand how the energy companies are allowed to get away with this and why the government aren't stopping them instead of handing out money.....

Keep this going around for all to see
