British Gas are to rape their customer base for another 35% so they can
increase profits and dividends.
No doubt they will use the BS excuse of rising prices from Europe.
And yet in all this, New Liebour are stone silent on the rape of the
consumer. So much for their 1997 mantra of them dealing with "rip off
Britain". Are the British Gas bosses New Liebour donors or in New
Liebour's pocket in other ways?

When I heard this announcement on the radio yesterday afternoon I was
completely gobsmacked. I don't have gas myself (except of the methane
sort) so only the lecky price rise will affect me, but 35%! Surely
THAT would bring the consumers on to the streets in protest? Nah.
Apart from a few vox pop comments, zilch, as ever.
British Gas could increase the price by 100% and no one would bat an
eyelid.
I actually had visions of Gordon Brown recalling Parliament to discuss
the energy crisis, which won't end with 35% from British Gas. But
again, not a peep.
