I can't shake off the feeling that all the utilities are manipulating the market

There is no competition in supply market - energy is a commodity and very high prices shifted the balance, this pretty much forces all resellers to have similar prices. There is a need for more gas and oil fields to be discovered locally - but smart Brown Stuff taxed the Northern Sea dev so much that companies begun to stop dev there, very "wise" taxation indeed.

Renationalisation of the utilities is the only solution ... we also need uniform salaries, no private property, and no free market. It's like christianity, once you open your heart to socialism there is no alternative.

But how can this be when inflation is only 2.5%?

Well Gordon is and that's all that matters. He's the next best thing to Arthur Scargill.
