Another power increase

[bert]

it's all very well the gas and electricity supplies going out every year that people who are on pension and low wages their money is not going to that amount every 12 months.
The price increase will put about £150 extra a year on your power bill, and yet benefits and enclosing at 1% the next five years.
Many elderly people this year will be worried about getting into debt with their electricity and gas supply payments and we all know the people are cold the chances are that they will be ill, putting an extra burden on the National Health Service, whichever way you look at it the government are going to lose because every time the power goes up in price thousands of jobs are lost when factories and shops decide to close.

You're right in everything that you say that this is what we've been saying today every time that the cost of living goes up electricity and gas is increased and jobs the last because companies have to put down somewhere when the cost of running the business goes up, so yes you're quite right thousands of extra jobs will be lost possibly early in the New Year.

The government were wrong in selling our power network, it belonged to the people, we should take it back, by force if needed.
