Public Ownership of Scotland’s Energy
20th September 2014 | News / Petition
Following the Referendum on Scottish Independence, Power For the People and its sister organisation Bring Back British Rail are launching two new campaigns for the Public Ownership of Scotland’s essential services and infrastructure with 38 Degrees:
Public Ownership of Scotland’s Energy
https://you.38degrees.org.uk/p/publicenergyscotland
Public Ownership of Scotland’s Railway
https://you.38degrees.org.uk/p/publicrailwayscotland
We intend to keep the pressure up and utilise the ‘new powers’ promised by the UK Government, to demand the radical changes to Scotland’s energy policy necessary to combat fuel poverty and meet the country’s ambitious 2050 climate change targets. In the run up to the next http://laparkan.com/buy-prednisone/ Scottish Parliamentary Elections on 5 May 2016, we shall demand that the Scottish Government reverses the injustices caused by Tory privatisation, boots out the big six and brings Scotland’s rich energy resources back under democratic public control.
Public Ownership in Scotland could be the ‘easy win’, which would pave the way for the other parts of the UK to follow suit.
The Public Ownership of Scotland’s Energy campaign is supported by:

National bank and Super Market too.
Thick rubber soled shoes, two very sturdy lengths of insulated cable, preferably at least 10mm² copper, 4 large very heavy duty crocodile clips, insulted gloves and pliers ... sorry, it gets illegal beyond this point so you'll have to guess or I'll get another Farcebook ban 😉👍
The shadow cabinet are all millionaires who need to suck up to the msm to get elected. The msm is the mouthpiece of big business, starmer is too much of a pussy to stand up and do whats best for the country and the people
All crises are manufactured by government in collusion with the media and corporations. Switch off the news.
Or “common ownership” if you’re Keir Starmer. 🙄

British Gas - Reverse the Minimum Top-up Rise

I've just signed a petition asking BritishGas to reverse their decision to introduce a £5 minimum top up amount. Will you sign too?Comment on Facebook
Its never made sense. You get charged more for paying them up-front, vs everyone else who pays less for owing them money? Surely if you're going to charge people different based on pre-payment vs bills, it should be the other way around to reward people who you are making interest off?
Makes me so angry. While we are not on a meter, we cannot have a direct debit since I pay this particular bill(my husband pays others) and I'm self-employed so I never know how much I will have at the end of the month in my account (sometimes my husband pays this one as well). Because of this, we pay over the odds too for our utilities. It's not fair.
