Fixing the price of Gas & Electric

[andy222]

Today we saw a bit of compassionate Conservatism from John Major saying the Government should impose an emergency tax on the energy companies.

I agree with him. Shame the current shower haven't got the backbone.

Spot on Marco, Maybe he can see now what damage the tories have done by selling us down the river. Another food for thought I wonder what backhander Osborne and his cronies got from doing the deal with china and the french for that nuclear plant in somerset? And Ded if you would what I wrote ages ago you would have seen my answer. We cant nationalise again because it would be too expensive. When you buy shares you want a profit right? Not rocket science mate. Anyway its just another nail in the tory coffin. Bedroom tax and now energy prices.

A large chunk of the blame for high energy prices rests firmly on Labours shoulders - they introduced 5% VAT and Millipede slapped on his ridiculous green taxes and wind farm subsidies then shrugged his shoulders at Labour voters falling into fuel poverty.

If realistic taxes were levied on these price fixers their stay in the UK market would be less attractive and share values would fall making it easier to renationalise. Labour didn't have any qualms about taking banks into public ownership when their fat cat banker and city chums (cash for honours of course ) screwed up the banking system.
