‘We’re here with every heating system off, wrapped up in duvets’ – Renters say €600 energy credits ‘not enough to survive winter’

  1. How does the independent find these people so quickly and how do 2 people manage to spend €660 euro on electricity?

    My last bill for a house or 4 was €200 euro, it’s gone up but absolutely not by how much these people say

  2. I have a family home with a load of kids, WFH a few days, electric shower/ovens/hobs etc. the whole shebang. And an EV which uses quite a lot per month (about 600kWh a month), and my last bill for 2 months was just under €300.
    I assume they meant a 2 month bill, and if they did, how are they still using €600 a month?? I couldn’t even get to that level of use if I wanted to!

  3. Fuckin skilled predators in the independent hunting out the perfect example of wasters like this immediately after a giveaway budget. clickbait shite.

  4. In there talking about a rent cap when they’re living in a council 😂 a lot to be said about putting a bandage on a bullet wound with this budget but my god atleast Interview a few small business owners

  5. He claims to shower in 5 minutes but sometimes has shampoo in his hair getting out of the shower?

    Fuck was he doing for 5 minutes?

    It’s September 😂

    Did The Independent fuck up the publish date for their article?

  7. Always wondered why the budget was at 1pm and not 9am. It’s so these lads are up out of bed to learn and complain about the extra money they’re getting.

  8. How did Adam and Paul get an article written about them. How did the journalist not look into how their last bill was €660 which would have been at the old rates in the summer. With no heating

  9. This looks like an example of pure lazy and dishonest journalism.

    They are terrified to use electricity and jump out of the shower with shampoo still in their hair. With all of this avoiding using electricity, they still raked up €600 in what was a warm month.

    Then they swing to solving rental and housing crisis.

  10. I’m on a pay as you go meter, we use immersion and a frigging dryer it’s 50/60 a week, where did they get 660 ? Plus it’s pretty mild so haven’t really needed to put the fire on.

  11. If they live in a concreted apartment it’s been fucking freezing inside the last week. Colder than it’s been outside with the end of the heatwave.
    There’s a lot of people making classist comments about their appearance and illegal activities. Not everyone’s situation is the same so stop making assumptions about people, its pure cunty
