One hand giveth, the other taketh away
Yesterday’s announcement from the government of a £910m package of measures aimed at helping people with soaring gas and electricity bills was deeply disappointing and deceptive. The cash spree is paraded as being brought about through the willing collaboration of the energy companies. Well of course they wanted to help, because they read the news same as anyone and are well aware of the growing clamour for their obscene profits to be forcefully removed and redirected by the government to the estimated quarter of the population about to fall into fuel poverty.
