    Energy customers "not cash cows"

    BBC News - Energy customers are not cash cows, says Ed Davey

    Gas and electricity customers are "not just cash cows" to be "squeezed" to create bigger profits for shareholders, Energy Secretary Ed Davey will say.
    Good job we didn't hand energy supply over to a cartel of multinational corporations legally compelled to maximize shareholder value then eh...
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

      Why do people continue to complain so much when they have the cheapest energy prices in Europe?

          Why do people in Scotland complain when London subsidises them ?
          Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

          No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

            Why do people in London complain about subsidises to Scotland when tax payers in Scotland pay more per head then any other UK taxpayer over and above the subsidises they receive? Or is math not your strong point?

              More people in London than Scotland.

                Not when hidden standing charges are added.

                    No they don't. They pay more than the average UK taxpayer, and more than many regions, but less than those in London and the South East.
