British Gas sees profits increase 10-fold https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-68303647
It’s surely time for some form of country wide demonstration. I’m not talking about independence versus the union. I’m talking a full on revolution against the government for the entire population being fleeced at every turn whilst these companies laugh into their tax free glass of bubbles. A demonstration for the ages until there is no option but to set prices at a fair level. I’ll kick about outside Holyrood until this gets enough upvotes 🫡

Yes!!! I am all for the revolt. Surely to fuck it’s happening soon
Alas too many people have private pensions.
Sad to say the country doesnt have the balls to protest in any meaningful way, that is why we are where we are now. Combined with self serving politicians who lack the balls to tax these rats they will keep prices high for as long as they can. The only thing we can do is cut our use to the bare minimum and keep it that way. Fuck British Gas, at least a thief wears a mask.
I like your spirit, but unfortunately I really don’t think demonstrating outside Holyrood is going to achieve anything given that Energy Policy is wholly reserved to the UK Gov. So fighting for Independence probably is the best way to change this reality.
But yes – the UK Gov has absolutely facilitated a wealth extraction from the poorest to the richest. Not so much trickle down economics as funnel up economics. We are all being taken for mugs, and disaster economics are in full effect.
“The poorest in society are really struggling but it’s not just the energy. It’s energy, it’s rent, it’s mortgages, it’s food and all manner of costs,” ~ CEO of British Gas’s patent company, one of the only people in the world who could change this with a word.
Been saying this for years…
We seriously need to protest en mass.. block refineries smash up energy firm headquarters and force them to answer for this blatant fleecing of the public
If they keep doing it… seriously? Burn it all down..
So give me a time and a place I will be there.
Stop being radicalised by clickbait BBC headlines lol. British Gas is owned by Centrica, whose operating profits fell by 17% between 2022 and 2023.

You’re all really running out of ideas down there in Thames House eh. I don’t think this is going to capture too many people. 😉
I’d love to see this happen. It never will now and because of that the wealth distribution gap is only going to get worse.
