Default Fury At £1,200-a-minute Gas Profit

BRITISH Gas is making £1,200-a-minute in profits after landing customers with crippling bill rises.

The Sunday Express can reveal the energy giant is poised to unveil huge annual profits of almost £600million – six times the amount it made last year.

The figure is disclosed just weeks after the company imposed a 15 per cent price hike on its 16 million customers – putting annual fuel bills up by an average £130 a year.

The revelations prompted a furious response last night, with MPs calling for the big energy firms to be hauled before competition chiefs.

I have loads to say about it, not sure how I missed this thread.
I think it is disgusting that these fat cats are allowed to get fatter at the expense of the working man.
I can only think it is because our so called socialist government are more right wing than hitler.
They are only interested in lining here own pockets, and sucking up to these big companies, assures them of cushy jobs on boards after office.
We need a socialist party, the sort of party labour was at its birth I see no way of changing or checking these greedy conglomerates otherwise.
They will just get greedier and greedier while poor and vulnerable people are left without heating in cold winters and with no means of cooking a hot meal.
Comes the glorious day brother they will be sorted.
