The Robber Barons

Wholesale energy costs are up 1.7%. UK Energy prices went up 10%. The British are being had over! Everyone at the top blames someone else. Company bosses have refused to attend parliamentary committees. High and mighty. They begin to look a lot like the ancient barons to me.

This is toxic to the Tories. A free market only works as long as there is genuine competition. Energy supply is rigged. It's a cartel. A Labour majority in the election in 2 years? Further bloating of the public sector and associated costs, and unfettered immigration to follow. Toss a coin. We seem to lose either way.


Russel Brand predicts a revolution. It appears that he is a comedian after all!

It's raining in the forest today.

  1. Good job you're in Sweden then. Just relax and stay over there. Leave us and your tenants to pay the price of living in the UK!

  2. I'll give a Scandinavian answer this time. If there is no genuine market, a utility should be in public ownership. Nationalise them !!
