How dare they? Energy companies profit from your money

Have you ever wondered if you could get millions of people to lend you £100 for nowt. Then you'd put it in a building society account and collect the interest? Million in interest.

Well I suppose this is what the energy companies do.

You pay £x a month your bill but when you're in credit and there must be millions in their bank accounts surely they can sit on it an collect millions in interest?

DO we get any "credit" for it - no.

All they do is put their prices up by 10% plus! No one else would get away with it but what can you do, you've got to have electricity and gas? Well you could switch, try Quidco.

I nearly choked!

In my best Victor Meldrew voice "I don't believe it?"

David Cameron has made an Election Promise!!

Well we all "believe that don't we?"

"If he gets elected we'll have a Referendum on Europe" - do you believe him? Its like Labour in opposition they promise anything because you know, they know they can't deliver.

Look at David's track record. How many promises did they make before this election and how many have they honoured? I seem to remember there was a promise to - wait for it "have a Referendum on Europe", but where is it, "next time".

Sorry, where is the tax allowance for Married couples David? and there are more.

It won't wash so forget it, you're a has been. You WON'T win the next election - guaranteed.

You heard it here.

Benfits should not rise faster than wages

Benefits should not rise faster than wages,  at least that's what IDS thinks.

I agree. Labour put us on this ever increasing spiral of benefits yet we are in this financial crisis and those who work are having to make sacrifices so why should benefits rise automatically?

WE are paying them. I work in local Government and have not had a pay rise for 4 years!! 

We all have to make sacrifices so benefits must be frozen.

All I can say is 

1.  when you lose your job, if you've been paying National Insurance, then you should get a better cushion for a limited period until you get another job. Linked to your previous wages with  cap.
2. where is the incentive for married couples David? 2 can live as cheaply as one.

If there is at least one wage earner in a household let the tax allowances be pooled. This will hep the unemployed.

pensions 4 everyone 2

I said it on 2nd Oct:-


Lets just hope G Osborne  and D Cameron  sort out the mess over charges and how you "take your pension" with you. 

At the  end of the day unless its a very good company scheme only the Bankers win - AGAIN

Didn't I say it and now the Daily Mail agrees with me.

The Government MUST regulate these pension schemes and stop the Bankers from getting rich quick on poor people. They are gambling with peoples only hope for the future. They take their whole lives to save any sort of pension, these bankers make that much bonus in 1 year! There must be certainty in pensions and a guarantee that you can take it with you without loss if you move jobs.

Now in a letter to the Daily Telegraph these organisations agree with ME, the National Association of Pension Funds (NAPF), the TUC, charity Age UK and the consumers' association Which?.

So you heard it first from Monty.
