So it's loans to companies
taking on customers of failed companies. That's the big companies getting bailouts, because of the shoite system. |

more evidence the beloved free market capitalist system failing
a 5 yr old can work out that the gas industry doesnt need 80 providers selling the same product, obvious at least half of them are gambling running dodgy business model even during the good times imagine 80 shops in a row selling a football shirt and millions prepared happy to buy in shop one the most expensive and the other 79 each cutting each others prices, surely any half decent regulator must ask who is shop 80 managing to sell that shirt at that price |

By:
Imagine buying next year's shirt
for £50, then supplier charges middleman £55,..middleman goes bust and you get to pay £70 in club shop |

.looks like Council Tax
will have to rise bigly too be because they can no longer get lorry drivers at £24,000 a year! |
|
By:
They don't worry about council tax.
It's headline income tax they worry about. Raise nhi by 10% to fund care, but give money to NHS, and raise council tax by 5% to allow councils to fund care. We havnt raised income tax... |
|
By:
How big could council taxrise at the end of the year? I suppose it is where you are but surely will be significant?
|
|
By:
Iirc 5% is allowed
If they want to go higher they would need a vote... Unless government raises its cap. |
|
By:
Thank you.

https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn05682/ .. Can't imagine folk would vote to pay more than the cap, but some councils might have a brain freeze and go for it. |

Up until the early 2000a we were still exporting cheap natural gas to mainland Europe even though we knew that soon we would be running low, now we are buying natural gas from Norway and Russia for a lot more than we sold it for. Now that is Britain in a nutshell

Gas and electricity are easy to produce, anybody and his cat could make Britain self sufficient if the will was there.
|
|
By:
one issue i keep hearing in all these reports is that the UK has very little storage capacity
|
|
By:
there must be costs involved in producing gas and methane that you are undersetimating
|
|
By:
Sold off along with tons of food that was in storage, Tony said we don't need them anymore we are everybody's friend and London is the center of the earth
|
|
By:

No not really how much do you think its costing now to import gas and light crude now? |
|
By:
so why is nobody doing it? here or anywhere else?
the Germans tried to make petrol from coal during the war and it wasn't easy |
|
By:
"Sold off along with tons of food that was in storage, Tony said we don't need them anymore we are everybody's friend and London is the center of the earth "
this is why the EU has a CAP even if it is inefficnet and uneconomic: food security |
|
By:
actually people are doing it here just not on a big enough scale but I suspect that is about to change.

got to love johnson,drivers demanding 50 grand to stop supermarkets shelves going empty,hospitals not getting drugs,was his plan all along,lets hope he still claims credit it for it when we get 8% plus inflation, i,m sure the voters will be thanking him for it

We were in the EU when it happened Tony was good at ignoring the parts of the EU he didn't like, however that only played into his political enemies hands and Brexit happened |

By:
some gaps in my local tesco at the moment, especially ham for some reason
|
|
By:
got to love johnson,drivers demanding 50 grand
are drivers not worth 50 grand a year considering the service to society we provide? |
|
By:
my point was, as long as you were in the CAP and the single market you didn't really need the storage
now with increased red tape and possibly opening up British farmers to unfair competition, the supply of food may become more tenuous |
