I want a government that protects the 67M citizens who are not billionaires from the 177 citizens who are.

I went through all 72 Directives that HMG opposed but still got passed x.com/mac_puck/status/108736… and the 89 CJEU judgements against HMG x.com/mac_puck/status/109315… TLDR: I discovered that WE were the bad guys in EVERY SINGLE case.

I recently looked at "all them rules" that the EC imposed on the UK against our will. The Brexiters also like to bewail the tyranny of the ECJ, but usually cannot cite a single judgement. So here are all 89 judgements against HMG over the last 30 years (3 per year😱). Enjoy...

A 1979 water and sewerage bill, is £131 in 2026 pounds. Today we pay £639. A privatised monopoly is a licence to rob and rape a country. Basically what Diwani was in 18th Century Bengal, Thatcher created in 20th Century Britain.

In 1979-80 the cost of local authority elderly residential care was £63 per week, which was 58% of an average wage. In 2026 it is £1298, or 184% of an average wage. Privatisation of care is basically a letter of marque. Licence for the depraved to prey on the desperate.

My point is, those who are saying that changing the triple lock to a double lock will not fund a national care service are missing the massive savings - approximately 2/3rds - that the data suggest re-nationalising care can generate.

My point is, everyone who is saying that changing the triple lock to a double lock will not be enough to fund care, is missing the vast potential savings re-nationalisation can bring. Roughly 2/3rds, would be what the data suggest.

The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer. Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer. We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is. It will never reach you.

Electricity sector profit margins: UK 23% - 38% Spain 11% - 13% Germany 9 - 11% France 6 - 9% But, apparently, the reason UK electricity is most expensive is Net Zero.

Decoupling renewable electricity costs from gas could save £203: eandt.theiet.org/2026/03/19/… This £203 goes to Electrical Sector profits, ( 40% of the £500 profit per householder bill calculated by Unite ). So: it is significant cause of high bills, but a subset of high profits.

So lets list the reasons offered for high UK bills. 1. £500 profit. 2. £203 gas coupling (a subset of 1) 3. £78 Net zero policy costs. 4. £250 for Transmission, capacity & balancing. How much is non-NZ : NZ : gouging? Total guess 20:40:40. Which reason is dominant?

UK Electricity Sector Profits. 2025 Total: £23.1 billion across 30 major energy companies operating in the UK (including producers, grid operators, and suppliers). 2024 Total: Approximately £30 billion in pre-tax profits, adding an estimated £500 per household to energy bills.

But @KemiBadenoch reckons we can save £200 from Electricity bills if we cancel Net Zero. She accepts that climate collapse is real - but £200 is too high price for saving the fkg planet. And reducing her friends' profits is obviously out of the question.

I think it might be time to dust off this 8 year old thread, unfortunately.
