ENERGY SUPPLIER £3BILLION RIP OFF - Updated 26 Oct., 2019

Update 26 Oct., 2019 - The energy suppliers increased the tariff at the beginning of last winter and already announced a further increase; despite 50,000 people died of hyperthermia last winter. Conservative Gov stands idle by.

The energy companies making billions of pounds while 40,000 people died of hyperthermia and the Government does not force them to reduce their tariffs. Furthermore the taxpayers pay the Government's expenses. They ought to be ashamed of themselves.

UPDATE: 15 January, 2016 

Oil prices are at a 11 year low and had been fallen at the same time the energy suppliers increased every winter their tariff by 10 per cent. Yet PM David Cameron, sly and cunning, puts his head into the sand.

It is a fact that the wholesale gas prices dropped by 50 per cent and the electricity by 30 per cent but not a penny to the consumer despite energy suppliers  are making sky high profits.  Their chief executives are earning one to three billion pounds salaries plus the same in bonuses.

It is a scandal when cash strapped people cannot afford heating. Last year 40,000 people died of hypothermia while the fat cats could not care less.

As for the regulator Ofgem is should be closed down after not only doing anything to stop the 10 per cent increase every last three winters knowing very well of the drop in whole sale prices of 50 per cent gas and 30 per cent electricity.  Add insult upon insult they advised to have sandwiches to save gas and/or electricity.

The people being so desperate, besieged the PM David Cameron but from a letter to the energy supplier which did nothing and he did nothing more. Mr Cameron being rich and earning £165,000 per year does even get his energy bills paid by the hard-up public who have to choose between heating or buying food.  He has not got a clue what life is really like and he does not care to find out.

Mr Cameron has the audacity to deny that such a situation exists even so there are over 1,000 food banks and over one million rely on it.  Even the top leaders of various churches have written to Mr Cameron last year beseeching him to change his austerity scheme to avail. He even denied there is such a situation.

The situation has now become so desperate that there are not only food banks but also fuel banks. People, if they qualify by receiving a letter from doctors or Social workers, they not only get food but also a £48 vouchers for fuel consumption.

But Mr Cameron and his disciples are still riding on their high horses and ignore the desperation.

The energy suppliers made anything between £500million to several billion pound profit and the Government does nothing to cut them down.

TORIES CUT £235MILLION FLOOD DEFENCE BUDGET

To be sure not one river was dredged so far and we are in the middle of September.

Prime Minister David Cameron would not have to play the sympathiser every winter and visit the flooded area if he had not cut £235million off the defence scheme.

With all due respect but it is nothing but a pretend of sympathy and again another promise to increase the budget.  He played now that game for the last four winters.

He even denied that the flood defence scheme budget was cut by £235million since 2011.

Again he had the nerve to look at the people who lost all their goods and their homes will be wet for months to come and tell them that he will increase the flood defence budget by £280million while at the same time he cut the budget

How can he do this without padding an eyelid? Make no mistake it will the same next winter and the winter after.  He has done it too often to be still believed. Beside all the previous winters where he visited, show "great sympathy" and proposed a great increase and now it is revealed that all this time he cut the budget.

Now the weather forecast is even worse as a cycle of storm and torrential rain will move across the UK. It is incredible how people will cope in the already flooded areas.

The only good dead Mr Cameron done is to deploy the army of 500 men and 1,000 are on standby.

Of course, Mr Cameron denied the North and South division and the 20 percent flood defence cut.

He said: “In Yorkshire we spent £100million on flood defences since I became Prime |Minister. We plan to spend an extra £280million.” So why does he cut "235million of the budget?

Mr Cameron visited York which is completely flooded by three feet of water from two rivers. So far the costs are estimate to £1,5billion. When you compare it with the great saving of £235million from his cuts it shows the worst arithmetic the Tories have done. Finally the costs of this flood will be doubled and trebled if not more.

OVER 300 CIVIL SERVANTS GET PAID MORE THAN PM NO CUTS THERE EVEN BONUSES INCREASED

The Cabinet Office revealed that 318 civil servants are paid more then the Prime Minister. The PM’s salary is around £150,000 which is even doubled or more by eight civil servants.

Civil servant head Sir Jeremy Haywood receives a salary of £195,000 which had even increased by £5,000 from last year.

The Green Investment Bank employs 13 people.  It was set up by demand from LibDems. These employers are receiving salaries higher than the PM

Head of the Green Investment Bank Edward Northam earns £339,000.

Tax collection agency HMRC was criticised by MPs and named “worse than abysmal” despite of the criticism the chief executive Lin Homer is on £185,000.

PLEASE, PLEASE BE SO KIND AND CLICK ON ADVERTS. THANK YOU

But, of course, Downing Street defended the rise in number and cost of ministers’ taxpayer-funded special advisers (SPADS).

The statistic from the Cabinet Office shows a cost for Spads – personal appointment, not impartial civil servants – reaches a £11million in the last year.

One more point worthwhile mentioning is when Mr Cameron was the leader of the opposition he demanded a reduction of Spads’s bill.

In view of this revelation Chancellor George Osborne calmly demanded Welfare cuts which would devastate the general public, most of them already down to starvation and relying on food banks.

It is not only Chancellor George Osborne  who calmly watched the people going down into further poverty and homelessness but also Prime Minister David Cameron including the rest of the Tories.  How on earth could they have voted for a further Welfare Cut of £12billion knowing very well the situation, although they pretend it does not exists.

Again there was another 10 percent pay rise for 650 MPs agreed last year and this year. Despite 78 per cent are millionaires.

Tory MP Adam Afriyie stated that it is impossible to raise a family on £67,000. He demanded a £225,000 for expenses and no auditing. 

MPs receive a property in London if their constituency is outside London and too far to travel.  Many of them let it out to other MPs and receive a high rent of which there was a scandal two years ago but nothing was done about it, of course.

Where on earth does Mr Afriyie come from that he cannot raise a family on £67,000?

Then there are 820 peers in the House of Lords who receive £300 a day if they attend it. Many had been caught of signing in and then walk out after a very short time.

When the bill of Welfare Cuts, which was agreed upon it in the House of Common, was sent up to the House of Lords even they turned it down. It was returned to the House of Common for readjustments.

Now Chancellor George Osborne wiped the eggs off his face and changed it into a Global reform by which he can get his £12billion Welfare Cuts.

One last point, the Parliament with 650 MPs and 820 Lords and Ladies is the second biggest government after China.  

The constituencies are getting split up into two to create another MP, mostly Tory’s constituencies to guarantee a Tory government.  It is how Mr Cameron plans and works furthermore he nominates a much bigger list of Tories to be knighted. Last time 25 Conservatives while Labour had five to establish success of his bills in the House of Lords when the Tories reach majorities.

It all cost the taxpayers heavily while Mr Cameron and his disciples ignore it and constantly moan about the deficit and national debts which only Labour created, of course. Mr Cameron does neither mention, nor Chancellor George Osborne the £500billion debts they added since 2010 plus £112billion so far, since their re-election, and still have five months to go. Yet he promise again, as in 2010, to bring the debts and deficit down and voters fell for it.  How could they after the devastating austerity which brought millions of people to rely on food banks. How could they after the astronomical rise of energy suppliers' tariffs and Mr Cameron did nothing about it?

Adding the bombing of ISIS with a cost of £500million per mission where does that money all of a sudden come from?  A war nobody wanted but Mr Cameron and the Tories.

BRITAIN STILL SELLS WEAPONS TO SAUDI ARABIA USED IN YEMEN

even after Cameron resigned and Theresa May became Prime Minister

PM May will certainly persuade the Saudis in that fetching outfit, flashing her knobbly knees. to buy weapons. Everybody knows Saudi Arabia has the strictest dress code but she ignores it. No manners.

Human Right Groups accuses the British Government of fuelling the civil war in Yemen.

The British Government is supplying Saudi Arabia with arms which are used in Yemen. At the same time it donated £275million to the war-torn country.

Both countries do nothing but double-dealings. All the Middle Eastern countries seem to get into war due to interference from other countries. At the same time they supply arms and give Foreign Aids which are nothing but hypocrisy.  To crown it all they go to meeting after meeting to achieve peace in these countries in the Middle East. What kind of politics is it?

Britain surely must be aware or should be aware that their weapons are used by the Saudis in Yemen. 

The bloody civil war started in March 2015 with the Houthi’s rebels seized the country capital SANA’A. They were backed by Iran.

Since then the Saudi-led coalition of SUNNI Arabian Countries has been bombarding Houthi-held territories in Yemen.

In September the exiled President Abd-Rabbu Mansur returned to the country from Saudi Arabia.

Today, the British Government admitted that they were aware of the use of British weapons against civilian by Saudi Arabia.

Amnesty International UK and Safeworld received legal advice from Professor Philipe Sands QC, Professor Andrew Clapham QC and Blinne Ni Ghralaigh of Matrix Chambers.

All three lawyers were consulted by Amnesty International UK and Safeworld voiced unanimously the opinion that the UK was in cross violation of a number of arms exports agreement.

The lawyers said: “Any authorisation by the UK of the transfer of weapons and related items to Saudi Arabia …. in circumstances when such weapons are capable of being used in the conflict in Yemen, including the support its blockade of Yemen territory, and in circumstances when the end use is not restricted, would constitute a breach by the UK of its obligation under domestic European and International Law."

Downing Street denied the accusation.

Nevertheless, the Prime Minister David Cameron had been questioned several times regarding his closed relationship with Saudi Arabia. After all the Saudis were accused of playing a double sided game by supplying  terrorist groups across the Middle East and committing serious Human Rights violations at home.

Mr Cameron insisted that Saudi Arabia is an ally by keeping Britain safe.

On Channel 4 he said in October: “We received from them important intelligence and secret information that keeps us safe. The reason we have the relationship is our own national security.”

One comment opposes the other of which, we the public, cannot judge and establish the truth. However the evidence remains that over 2,000 civilian including 400 children died since March 2016. And 1.4 million people have been displaced within the country. The country has always been poverty stricken and now relies almost entirely on humanitarian assistance.

Again the question has to be asked. £275million is an awful lot to be received every year, especially in Yemen’s currency.  By now Yemen should have been lifted out of their poverty years ago.

So where does the money go?


Daily Express

SERCO AND G4S EARNED £700MILLION TAXPAYERS MONEY

A junior civil servant first discovered that there were serious discrepancies in their accounts but it was dismissed at that time, a few years ago.

Serco used to be the biggest company the public never heard off. The first time it came to public attention when it signed a contract to safeguard the 2012 London Olympic.  Ten days before the Opening Ceremony Serco admitted that it could not handle it because it has not got the staff.A whistle-blower also stated that the security checks on employed staff was was very bad. This was at a time when London and the Olympics were on high alert from terrorism attacks. Their contracts should have been cancelled there and then.

PM David Cameron saved his neck by deploying police which he severely cut back and Army whose leave was cancelled coming back from fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. After that he axed police and Army forces by the thousands as a thank you present.

With lots of mismanagement and swindles it now faces bankruptcy. Serco have made a fortune off the government for decades from its privatisation programme.

The question is now can Churchill’s grandson, Rubert Soames, head of Serco, save it and why should it be saved?

As always and first of all the Tory Government must have been aware since the swindles even made headlines years ago and still let them carry on.

Again the already cash strapped public gets charged with £700million (privatisation suppose to be saving) while the Welfare gets cut first with austerity and now £12billion on top of it.

The paperwork they give the contractors show a lot of complications. It can extending into a huge pile of does and don’t even for the simplest task. The government civil service laid down explicitly in great details contractors supposed to do. It often goes into hundreds of pages with phrases as KPI (key performance indication) and SLA (Service Level Agreement).  The papers are kept secret from the customer – us the public. When they are signed it is seldom that they are looked at it again.

Serco tagging contract were discovered in 2013 for charges of people who were dead, in prison or names never been found.

Serco expanded world wide and in a fast rate that the British Government was only a quarter of its global earnings.

Serco also made fraudulent charges on its contract for transporting prisoners to and from the courts. It also hit the headline several times because of the number of prisoners escaped.

Serco has a great number of subsidiaries.  Rentokil for cleaning  contracts ; G4S for securities; Capita for IT;  private financed hospitals; prisons; military facilities;  local education authorities; immigration contracts including YARL’s Wood  immigration centre.  As you can see Serco applied for every contract where privatisation was made and the Government gave it every time.

Rubert Soames, grandson of Winston Churchill, took over Serco and one month after went to Margaret Hodge, chair of the House of Commons public account committee,  which is parliamentary main watchdog over £120billion outscoring industry.

She said: “He said he was going to turn it all around. All the gossip to me was that he was going to go bust.”

There we are, the public, have another account of Government wasting taxpayers’ money. It joins an almost endless list of wasting money. Yet they have the thick nerve of demanding, and they get it despite of House of Lords turned it down, of £12billion Welfare cuts plus £16billion council cuts.

ISIS PLANS TO ATTACK THE UK NEXT

That was to be expected and by every one but the Government. After all the vote for air strikes was made on nothing but lies. PM David Cameron was bullying the MPs with saying to make the UK safer was a lie and a vote catcher.

Well, let's hear the comment from David Cameron now he ridden the UK into that situation. Congratulation and a thank you to all MPs voting for air-strikes especially to those 66 Labour MPs who back-stabbed Mr Corbyn. Hope you are proud of it.

The very day, before the vote, ISIS put out a video with threats and promises to attack the USA, Russia and France. Nothing was mentioned about the UK. It should have given David Cameron a message not to go through with the vote.

It has also now been revealed his great fanfare of 70,000 ‘moderate rebels’ on the ground do not exists as such. Another lie. David Cameron was warned not to use it by two Army Chiefs because it does not exists.
===========================================================PLEASE, PLEASE BE SO KIND ND CLICK ON ADVERTS. THANK YOU
===========================================================

David Cameron’s vote of a majority was also condemned by the Syria’s Minister of Information. He stated that bombing would not achieve any result it would have been better to co-operate with the Syria’s and Russians’ government.

Mr Cruikshank, an anti-terrorist expert, has information from a reliable source that ISIS is attacking the UK next. Does David Cameron not realise that these people do not fight in the conventional way with soldiers on the ground and air strikes?

They have individuals who go out and shoot and bomb and blow themselves up to commit mass murder. People who might have lived in the UK for some time and are only too ready for their cause.

The UK had already the revenge from the Iraq war when they killed 54 people on 7/7 and injured many more, some with lifelong injuries. Yes, Ken Livingstone was right that it was due to Tony Blair’s started an illegal war in Afghanistan and Iraq.

This time the UN, which is anything but independent, has agreed to it but in my view the UN had no right to. It is not their country. How would the UK or the Government feel if the UN now agreed for the Syrians to start bombing? David Cameron and his glorious Government are so self righteous that they do not see or accept all this.

Entering another country for no matter what reason and start bombing is wrong and always will have some consequences.

Furthermore, it was discovered by the Kurdish army re-capturing the town Sinrac, Iraq that the ISIS built 70 tunnels underground with various chambers and arsenal to protect them from bombing. The tunnels were built by captured people from nearby towns. It does not make Mr Cameron and his disciples look very clever, does it?

UK TORY GOVERNMENT VOTED FOR AIR STRIKES

Cameron's biggest mistake comes home to haunt him and especially us. ISIS declares UK next for attack.

It is still unbelievable and surely for the majority of the people. Prime Minister David Cameron forced the Tory MPs to vote for air strikes.

Not so much persuaded by Mr Cameron but he insisted on a "collective" vote which means the MPs have to vote "Yes" on Mr Cameron's decision. 

Labour leader Mr Corbyn decided on a free vote for his MPs. Therefore you found 66 Labour MPs voted for air strikes while Mr Corbyn was against it. It gave the Government the majority.
.

Well America has roped the UK in again, into a war which nobody wanted.

Mr Assad, President of Syria, has stated on the Czech TV that the USA’s bombing did not make much an impact and it is the fact because the ISIS made constant progress. Therefore, the question is what were the USA doing all those four years? Mr Assad also pointed out that the Russian, in their short time of being involved, made a bigger impact.

PLEASE, PLEASE BE SO KIND AND CLICK ON ADVERTS. THANK YOU

MPs were never more misled and dealt against the will of the people who elected them. If the Tories would have given the MPs a free vote like Labour did, it would have been a different outcome and the David Cameron and his disciples knew it. It was nothing but a calculation of manipulation.

Two days after your voting for bombing the ISIS announced to attack the UK first. Well done MPs; hope you are proud of it. One day before the vote the ISIS only named the USA, Russia and France as their next target. No UK was mentioned. 

He was so desperate to get involved that he had the RAF already stood by and gave them the go ahead within an hour.

Every mission costs the country £500million which, of course, he did not mention it in his speech. Every missile cost £22,000 for Paveway 4 to target armoured personnel carrier, £100,000 for Brimstone to target fast moving pick-up trucks and individual IS fighters and £790,000 for Storm Shadow cruise missiles to take out bigger targets.

Since the beginning of the civil war which the American ignited by supporting al-Qaeda from which the ISIS sprang and the so called “moderate rebels” the civilian died or fled. Also the UK was supporting the 'rebels' later on.

Now that the ISIS being totally ruthless and gone out of hand the West shouting about to destroy them. There again about 11 countries, in the last few months, are bombarding them already which should have been a total wipe out by now.

However, so far 300,000 people died and millions are displaced and the ISIS is still causing atrocities. It does not give a successful picture.

Russia even so they fly bombing mission, now suggests a more peaceful way of bringing the ISIS down. They suggest sanction and confiscating their bank account as far as possible. French President Hollande who faced the biggest attack so far also agreed with the Russians.

Why could David Cameron not join them instead of hot-heading into air strikes which do not eliminated the danger of being attacked on the street in the UK but increase it. David Cameron placed now the country and its people into the most dangerous situation, whether he likes to admit it or not.

The other point is how he dares to spend such vast amount of money while only in his recent budget demanded a £12billion Welfare cut. A Welfare cut from the cash strapped people who are already starving and many homeless because they cannot pay their bills.

Can anybody he be so callous with Ian Duncan Smith, head of DWP, hopping about at the announcement of £12billion Welfare cuts and then all his disciples agreed to spend billions of pounds on air strikes which nobody wants

Make no mistake, even so the House of Lords voted against the £12billion Welfare cuts, but Chancellor George Osborne will wangle it through. He also cut the councils by £16billion which will reduce their service drastically.

Again the Tories put out the lie that the debts occurred during Labour government but £500billion was added on since 2010 and now every month them adding £50 to £60million every month since they won the election.

So far Chancellor George Osborne borrowed already the same amount as for the whole financial last year and there is still five months to go.

In view of the economical disaster how can the government no disregards and enters the UK into a war.  A war which David Cameron now discloses it would last for years. So were does the money come from for this war?

Afghanistan and Iraq should have been more than a lesson. It achieved nothing but disarray in the countries, death and financial hardship on both sides.

This Prime Minister seems too bent over just to get his will despite of all cost. He let happily the Steel Industry go and kowtow to the Chinese who rub their hands with glee because they are flooding the UK with cheaper steel. He signed a contract for two Nuclear Power Stations to be built by the French EDF and run by Chinese. He brought the general public down to starvation with austerity. He is controlling the press and wants now to control the Freedom of Information. He is pushing through a new law to stop strikes. He took the power off the council to disagree with fracking. It is now decided by Westminster because Lancashire Council turned his friends down for fracking.

All these actions, and there are more, have certainly nothing to do with democracy and representation of the people who elected them. Hopefully the people will remember this at the local election next year and the power of the Tory’s majority will be take out off their hands.

                                                                  

SYRIA NEEDS PEACE VOTE LABOUR

THERESA MAY

THE NEW PRIME MIMISTER

Syria needs peace and all the Allies should work towards it.

At the moment, it was reported, 11 countries are bombing the ISIS strongholds.  But a great number of these countries play a double game. They are bombing while they supply the ISIS with weapons through the back-door. Therefore the bombing will not achieve anything but destruction of the towns.

Is it wise that UK PM David Cameron trying to push his decision forward to add the UK in the bombing raids?

The leader of the Labour Party, who has become a thorn in David Cameron‘s sides, campaigns to bring peace to Syria and end the civil war. After all it had increased and spilled over the border of Syria across the world.

USA supported the “moderate rebels” which is very debatable group who they are and escalate the fighting with no hope to bring down Mr Assad. US Secretary of State, John Kerry, seems to be too hot headed in his termination of replacing Mr Assad. Therefore, presumable pressuring Mr Cameron and him follows it not very wise. 

The only PM who refused to join the USA was Harold Wilson, Labour, in the Vietnam War. A war, which turned out to be a great loss of lives.

One of the arguments against increased bombing is that it would bring ISIS’ revenge to the UK, like it did in France. Defence Secretary Michael Fallon pointed out that the UK is already on the ISIS list. It maybe so and there is no doubt because of the unauthorised bombing made by David Cameron last September. Unauthorised because the MPs voted against it in 2013.

However, Mr Fallow has a point but more bombing would increase Isis’s determination to repeat a Paris attack in London. If the UK now stays out of it it might be avoidable.

Although the West does not want to listen and hear it but the Russian having a more sensible approach to bring the ISIS down. They suggest sanctions and confiscate the huge amount of money sitting everywhere in banks.  Banks also have to answer why they playing a double game and support the ISIS in a round about way.

France President Mr Hollande had a meeting with the Russian President Mr Puttin and  agreed to side with Russia in a united effort to bring peace.

Although Germany announced that the Cabinet decided to join the bombing raid but a poll showed that only 36 per cent of the people agreed with it.  Mrs Merkel also went against the people’s wishes. This point was not widely spread in the press because it would influence MPs' votes  to some extent..
