And when people drive without insurance that extra cost is passed on to the paying customers.
I don’t
I believe anyone who takes part will likely end up further in the shit

I’m sure the bailiffs will love all those warrants they serve putting people on prepay meters.
Rubbish, this is a way of getting more in the shit.
Ridiculous ill thought out “campaign”.
Refusing to pay just opens the person up to future affordability and potential CCJs with debt repayments.
If you maintain your DD, without increase it’s a lot harder to get taken down that route.
I’m just not increasing my DD, as I’ve no more to pay anyway.
Most people in poverty are already on prepayment meters and if you don’t pay, they shut off the supply.
Standing charges needs an urgent review as they are really out of control and OFGEM has done sod all about it.
Remember last year when a bunch of students stopped paying rent for the university accommodation in protest? It’s pretty understandable if you don’t remember it because the protest didn’t achieve anything other than giving a bunch of 20 year olds CCJs and ruining their credit for years.
Anyway, good luck!
Ok. Good luck with that.
Imagine having the option- rather default on your energy bills than default on your mortgage
Oh god…the Guardian is really going to push this immensely dangerous campaign. What a cuntish rag it is.
No good comes of this other than harming yourself.
I can probably afford the increase in October tbf, I’m in a fortunate position because my rent is cheap so there’s a bit of leeway and I’ll have to cut back on some luxuries like everyone. BUT… And this is the part that pisses me off, why should I work for 40 hours a week to give ever increasing chunks of my earnings to Shell energy. The first thing people say when things get tight is “oh you’ll just have to go out less” what do I do when staying in with a bit of playstation costs more than my council tax, what would you have me do, read books by fucking candlelight and eat canned food cold? Call me entitled but I’ve always believed working full time should be able pay for an enjoyable life outside of my job. If that isn’t the case anymore and the government thinks I’m going to work simply to exist and pay bills then they are seriously fucking mistaken.
This isn’t the way to deal with this issue, you’ll just end up causing yourself more misery down the line.
Everyone saying this isnt going to work, what the hell do you propose we do instead? Roll over and take it, again?
This isn’t the poll tax, you’re buying a commodity.
Coming next Spring…
Debt!
Sadly this has all the makings of a poll tax protest. When everybody said they were going to refuse to pay it and would sooner go to jail!
Of course this being Britain when the time came to start paying the poll tax we folded like the sheep we are!
How the ruling class must laugh at us!
I do find it funny how this is considered an extreme protest here when you compare it to the shit that happens in France during strikes and protests it comes across as laughable.
Is this a protest to reduce the profits of the companies? Or is it to simply complain that the prices are high? Does everyone understand that the wholesale electricity prices are up because of the war? What do people want? Give in to the cunt that is Putin?
Good idea mass civil disobedience can only result in plus for the public. Energy companies cannot take all non payers to court, it’ll be way too expensive in solicitors and court fees. Happened in Ireland over mortgages n the numbers won. S. I. N safety in Number’s.
