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.
