Fuel Poverty is a Scandal

I've said it before it is grossly unfair that the poorest in society have the most expensive fuel bills.

Don't believe me? Think about it.

• Most tariffs are geared at people who can afford to have big bills, the more you use the cheaper per unit it gets. 
• Also with the standing charge even if you used NOTHING you'd still have a bill to pay.
• All bills have 5% VAT, so the higher the price the more HMG gets
• Regardless of your income - you may be on benefits or a pension YOU pay VAT
• If you're on a pre-payment meter - you pay in advance and can't swap supplier.
• Prepayment meters are the dearest tariff
• The GREEN Tax - another 10-15% goes to GREEN energy - what's that? Paying big businesses millions to build Wind Turbines that only work a third of the time, the rest of the time they get paid even more! Unbelievable - check it out.
• The Big Green 'uns get paid even more.
• If you're in arrears you can't swap suppliers.
• Poorest people live in homes with the worst efficient heating/insulated homes.
• Poorest people often can't manage their heating.

Need I go on? Basically VAT and the Green Tax is a Robin Hood in reverse Tax, making the poorest pay the most so the Rich get richer.

The Burnley Wind Farm Giant Blades arrive on special roads and with Mega Lorries

These are the new roads the Turbine companies build for you so they can get their out-size loads into place. Look at the mess they make. Then the "normal" roads have to be closed with Police escort while the mega-loads trundle along. Wonderful?

This is the desolation on the moors above Todmorden/Burnley

Some people are looking forward to the new roads the company will build them in Lincolnshire. they're not new Dual-carriage ways just tracks across the fields to get the loads in.

About time they Privatised the BBC

Then they can do what they like. This is our money. How dare Lord Hall say its Value for money. I DON'T WANT TO PAY ANYTHING!
THIS IS AN ENTERTAINMENT (?) TAX.

Lord Hall has been keen to argue that the BBC provides value for money and in a speech to the Oxford Media Convention last week he said  a BBC survey had shown that some viewers would happily pay between £15 and £20 a month, compared to the £12 currently paid.

If it was your local council paying 6 figure sums to staff they'd soon be sacked. How does the BBC get away with it? It has got to stop. I choos NOT to watch SKy. but they don't cost the taxpayer anything. Let the BBC stand in th ecommercial world I say.

They could provide 1 public service TV and radio channel from general taxation. Let every household be £145.50 better off - we need it for our fuel bills.
