Title: SSE Energy Rise
Post by: Old Cruser on October 10, 2013, 02:10:50 PM

Will Ed Milliband be proved right in his intention to freeze energy companies prices?

8.2% rise announced by SSE today one hell of a rise ====== nips off to find out more sweaters ======

I was reading about this in the Telegraph and apparently the boss of SSE blames the government as they use the energy companies to collect green taxes on their behalf - if I read this right.

So, once again, the coalition are taking more money off the public to fund their policies by stealth. Roll on the next election - lets get rid of these pillocks.

There was a bit of a heated debate from Eamon Holmes I think it was this morning, only caught the tail end of it as I was cleaning - not sure he was trying to pin down for a straight answer === scuttles off to try and find it =====
