Martin Lewis, 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 is 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.....
COPIED AND PASTED FROM OTHERS :
PLEASE KEEP IT GOING SO MORE AND MORE GET TO SEE IT .

Unpaid labour is not a solution to the youth employment crisis, it is grotesque exploitation.
Sainsbury’s made hundreds of millions in profit last year. If there are job opportunities available, they should pay fairly and guarantee full employment rights from day one.

🚨🚨🚨Alert: Initial unconfirmed reports are that Putin was furious with the CIA Director’s threats telling Russia to reduce tensions in Ukraine. Putin order him to leave Russia immediately and ordered the US embassy closed permanently….. things are moving fast….🔥🔥🔥
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Claims of Putin ordering the CIA director to leave Russia immediately and closing the US embassy are unsubstantiated rumors. Ratcliffe made a brief unannounced visit to Moscow for meetings; his plane departed the same day.

Curse of Private Equity
Morrisons to close 100 stores.
Blames govt, silent on PE looting.
PE loaded company with £6.6bn debt, cut staff, sold-off petrol stations, indulged in sale and leaseback of assets, extracted returns.
PE devouring high street.

You're a real piece of shit.
How many Bronze Stars did you earn? Joe has 6.
How many years did you serve? Joe served 20.
How many tours in combat did you serve? Joe did 11 combat deployments.
Did your kids lose their mom in combat? Joe's did.
How many of these do you have: Army Commendation Medals, Combat Infantry Badge, Special Forces Tab, Ranger Tab, Military Freefall Parachutist Badge, Scuba Diver Badge etc, etc.
If you're so hot on fighting a war suit up and go, but you won't, you sit behind your computer in your air conditioned office and squeak like a little bitch. FO
I wonder if this guy Joe Kent was about to be fired but quickly resigned first. That's how these things typically work. He's part of that radical isolationist Woke Right cabal. Watch how the leftwing media use him to attack the president and the military campaign against Iran. In part, that's why he wrote that letter. I wonder if he was one of the leakers in the administration. Just asking questions.

UK govt "will not tolerate" energy firms profiteering from Iran war.
Ofgem allows profiteering: electricity pricing formula is based on price of gas, renewables are the cheapest. Profiteering is built in.
Change the formula, levy windfall tax, prosecute.

Isabel Oakeshott moved to Dubai because she didn't like "fractured communities" and taxes in the UK.
Now that Dubai is literally under fire from Iran and the airport is shut, will she be calling for a "small state" evacuation or a British government rescue mission? The irony is deafening.

France has taken a bold step by making planned obsolescence a criminal offense — meaning companies can now be punished for intentionally designing products to wear out early.
If manufacturers deliberately create electronics or appliances that fail sooner than they should- whether through weak hardware, software updates that slow devices, or other built-in limitations, they can face serious consequences. Penalties include up to two years in prison and fines of €300,000, or as much as 5% of a company’s annual revenue in major cases.
The law grew out of France’s consumer-protection efforts and was strengthened after investigations into phone slowdowns revealed how software could be used to push people into buying replacements.
But this isn’t just about punishment. It’s part of France’s wider “right to repair” movement, which aims to reduce electronic waste, stop hidden forced upgrades, and encourage companies to make products that last longer and can be repaired more easily.
By cracking down on disposable-by-design goods, France is sending a strong signal to manufacturers worldwide: build products to last. The goal is a more sustainable system where items are repaired instead of replaced helping both consumers and the planet.

This is David Hinton, CEO of South East Water. About as useful as a lawnmower in a monsoon.
Over 17,000 homes in Kent and Sussex remain without water.
Salary: £400k topped up with a
£115,000 bonus last year.
The man's a disgrace.
