I blame the Environment Secretary from the last Labour Government, who introduced the "Green Levy" to fund those useless wind turbines.

Now, what was his name again? Oh yeah, I remember now. Ed Milliband.

I blame the Tory scumbags who sold off our essential services to their mates in the city.

State monopolies are now private monopolies who can charge whatever the [edited by admin] they like and hold the country to ransom when they don't get their own way.

If New Labour had invested properly in fuels for the future i.e. loads of Nuclear Stations, then we wouldn't have to rely on the Russians and Arabs for our gas.

I wonder who the Energy mush was in the last government. :roll: :roll:

If energy is private why should the tax payer pay for power stations?

Why should taxpayers money be used to support any privatised business, particularly one that makes a profit for it's shareholders?

because the majority shareholders are invariably the ruling elite - they decry socialism in the context of things like the NHS or social support, yet have no qualms about the socialist principles behind the ethos of supporting banks, or the non profitable sections of utility companies......basically all power companies do is effectively bunker energy - they buy in advance like a hedge fund. The entire thing is a con trick.

The absurdity of the Labour stance

In the week before the Royal Mail was sold off Labour adopted the stance, not that it was wrong to sell-off a public institution against the wishes of the vast majority of the population, but that the sale price was too low.

Of course they were right to point out that the government had undervalued Royal Mail and were selling it off on the cheap, however, this price complaint hardly harmonised with the strong sense of outright public opposition.

The reason they couldn't vociferously oppose the privatisation of the Royal Mail on principle, is that Labour themselves had planned to sell it off when they were in government. Even though they have a different leader now, their PR team knew that outright opposition would leave the door wide open for accusations of hypocrisy and political opportunism. Hence their quibbling over the valuation of the stock, rather than representing the views of the overwhelming majority of the public by stating outright opposition to the sale.

[*]Scotland

The privatisation of the Royal Mail less than one year before the Independence referendum in Scotland looks like a deliberate act of malice. The ruling Scottish National Party and the vast majority of the Scottish public are opposed to the sale, but the Tories have pushed through the privatisation of the Scottish Royal Mail regardless.

The Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond had asked for a moratorium on the Royal Mail privatisation until after the Independence referendum, but David Cameron and his government ploughed on with the plan to sell it off at significantly below its market value.

Alex Salmond has pledged to re-nationalise the Scottish part of the Royal Mail, should Scotland vote for independence in 2014. Hopefully he'll only be willing to pay the 330p a share undervaluation that it was flogged off for, should the stock price be higher come September 2014.
