Zico.
The Green loons were fuming at the news of the Great Barrier Reef recovering much of its coral naturally. Rather than celebtate nature doing what it does they dismiss it by saying its all insignificant as this recovery is made up of the 'wrong' kind of coral.
Environmental success clearly dosnt suit the agenda.

Interesting discussion on GB news tonight. The likes of China are apparently using 10-15% more coal than they did in the 80s to reduce the impact of their energy difficulties. Whilst the rest suffer energy bills disaster due partly to the net zero policy and the disastrous energy policies of the last 30 years! Plus apparently Australia's Great Barrier Reef is fine and dandy by alt accounts despite reports suggesting otherwise!

Tim.
Do it mate,cancel the DD and pay by card.
Dont know your circumstances but you may need at least part of that 560 notes to feed dependants,you should have some control over where your money goes rather than these cunts helping themselves to it.

I pay my gas and electric by debit card via the British gas app. They get paid on the latest day i possibly can and not a day earlier. I always decline their kind offer to store my card details to 'save me time' in the future. They can also forget the idea of me setting up DD's,i'll pay these cunts how and when i want.
Also,does anyone really believe that energy prices will go down to more realistic levels after this coming winter? We are constantly being told of the horrors to come after September but what about subsequent winters?

''assuming this is because they are in some way implicated or have shares, pensions, investments in the energy companies, or they provide funding to the conservatives?''
How dare you imply that certain members of the government are self serving cunts, I mean, surely the PM wouldn't put up with that behaviour....unless he needed a flat decorating or a free holiday.

What I am trying to understand here is that none of the solutions I am hearing to increasing costs of energy are being at all addressed with the energy companies who are raking in triple and quadruple profits off the back of this.
It seems as if they are untouchable and the solutions we are hearing from the list of future PM's is to either adjust taxes or to provide financial aid to people who are struggling.
It really fucks me off that not one of them seems to want to address the issue at source - assuming this is because they are in some way implicated or have shares, pensions, investments in the energy companies, or they provide funding to the conservatives?

Cancelling Direct Debits is an excellent way to go - companied can borrow against these as if they are cash in the bank. THEY make more money out of them than you save.
Just set up a reminder on your phone/computer to pay the bill on the due date; the company can't then treat it as a guaranteed income. Make sure that you pay though - at least what you can afford.
Lots of "coulds" in there, Ted; I'd be surprised if such matters ever got anywhere near a court given the backlog covid has dumped on the UK justice system - prosecute a child rapist of give the energy companies more money?
Wrong choice would be political suicide.

`The movement has equated the potential strike to the national Poll Tax strike, which saw more than 17 million people refuse to pay the Poll Tax in the UK in the late 80s and early 90s`.
Yeah I remember that shit show... those cunts left me and plenty of others hung out to dry...
Yeah it's not pleasant these `estimates' but it still seems to me the majority of people I am hearing shouting and screaming the loudest are the ones in the Bigger houses... with the Bigger cars... and have currently 3 holidays booked this year.... just saying like??

I wonder how many people on 'eco-tariffs' which claim to be 100% or near enough renewable feel about their prices doubling or trebling after being told renewables are much cheaper than fossil fuels. Its almost like its all bullsh1t.

Thousands in China refused to pay mortgages on unbuilt houses that had ceased construction.
If the Chinese can protest under such an oppressive regime then surely we can with all our freedoms?

God knows what happened there......
What is Don't Pay UK and will it work? Campaign urges millions not to pay winter energy bills to protest rising prices but legal experts sound a warning
Don't Pay UK is calling for a mass payment strike if energy bills aren't reduced
If the strike is called, millions might cancel their direct debits on October 1
Legal experts warn that energy firms could cut off power to protesters
They could also instruct debt collectors to recoup the money owed
The campaign is calling for a mass energy bill strike and demanding a reduction in energy bills to an 'affordable' level.
It has not specified how much energy firms would need to reduce bills by in order to call off the strike.
The movement has equated the potential strike to the national Poll Tax strike, which saw more than 17 million people refuse to pay the Poll Tax in the UK in the late 80s and early 90s.
Don't Pay UK says it wants to hold energy firms accountable, with its website reading: 'We want to bring them to the table and force them to end this crisis.'

This is an estimate for my future bills with Octopus !!!
£6,617.11
Based on the latest industry estimate of your energy use. Regular readings make this more accurate.
I have a detached house and was only me and the wife living here but now 3 adults and a 6 year old but that figure is insane.
Octopus fixed rate deals aren't temping neither !!
