Martin Lewis, there is something very, very, very wrong in the system... 😡

So … let me get this straight:

* British Gas made a profit of £1.3bn between January & June

* BP announced profits of £6.95 billion between April and June alone

* Shell has profited by £9.4bn in a year

The MEN at the top:

* John Pettigrew, boss of National Grid received £6.5m bonus on top of his salary

* Chris O’Shea, chief executive of British Gas owner Centrica was paid almost £2m last year in salary and benefits

* Centrica's non-executive directors were paid almost £1m

* Scottish Power's CEO Keith Anderson is on £1.15m.

* E.On boss Michael Lewis is on £1m

* EDF's Simone Rossi is also on £1m

* And their top execs enjoyed a share of £4.65m

* Peter Simpson of Anglian Water earned a £1.3m pay package

* Welsh Water bosses awarded themselves bonuses of over £930,000

* Severn Trent bosses awarded themselves bonuses of £5.56m

* Thames Water's Sarah Bentley, received a £727,000 bonus on top of her £2m annual salary

Meanwhile there are...

* People who haven't had breakfast and/or lunch TODAY, because they can't afford it.

* People using FoodBanks because food is becoming more of a luxury than a necessity.

* Children celebrating a birthday without presents.

* Parents worrying about new school uniforms - and some schools enforcing rules which are not cost-effective.

* People who can't get to work because they can't afford to put petrol in their cars/pay for public transport anymore.

* People who are working so much they're making themselves ill, and they STILL CAN'T AFFORD to pay their bills.

* People who have been given fines by these same energy/water companies because they couldn't afford to pay their bills in the first place - increasing their debt.

* Customers being told to do STAR JUMPS TO KEEP WARM for crying out loud!

* Hose pipe bans when gallons of water leak away everyday.

* Elderly people NOT DRINKING because they're worried about running out of water!!!

All this and energy prices are set to rise up to 75% in October...

THIS IS MADNESS!.. I'm all for supporting profits … I'm not for supporting greed at the cost of lives of others.

Something needs to change.

Why is customers' money being used to make life more comfortable for those who are making life more intolerable for the rest of us?

I actually don't understand how the energy companies are allowed to get away with this and why the government aren't stopping them instead of handing out money.....

COPIED AND PASTED FROM OTHERS :
PLEASE KEEP IT GOING SO MORE AND MORE GET TO SEE IT .

Sad news for communities in and around Granton crying out for public transport. Any attempts at improving bus services were turned down because "the trams are coming". Now what?

North Edinburgh deserves better.

@KimCarter74 @Edinburgh_CC @edinburghpaper @PSOSEdinburgh @midgov @GuerillaTVChan These people should be identified & fined for fly tipping!

[Keith Campion @keith_campion]

If Dolly Parton can gift 20million books a year to children, why can’t Amazon, Apple and Microsoft do something like this??

[Denise @ddm2977]

@oldtownrez All across the city the bins are like this, the council need to employ more staff in all their departments.

[Agent P @AgentP22]

£95k for an SNP World Cup jolly.

Swinney tried to hide the costs, because he knew exactly how bad this would look.

Business class flights alone, for Swinney, his private secretary and a special adviser came to nearly £28K.

Absolutely scandalous.

@GeorgeFoulkes The whole street is a mess, they should sort out the pavements, there are broken paving slabs all along the street!

[Denise @ddm2977]

@edinhelp Are there any updates on this, thank-you,

[Denise @ddm2977]

I was in Granton Library yesterday, toilet light not working & toilet seat was hanging off, reported it to staff who have been reporting this to the council with no progress on how long to fix. It's an accessible toilet.

Men cannot breastfeed, ‘chestfeed’ or lactate. So why is the Scottish government encouraging ‘transwomen’ to suckle newborn babies? This is a grotesque experiment designed to pander to men’s fetishes, says Jo Bartosch

@EdinburghLive_ Should have had another depot built at Newhaven!

[Denise @ddm2977]

@banks_chef @scotgov @theSNP @JohnSwinney Council didn't want to pay for a depot @ newhaven & the land was sold, now it should be on their future plans? No one wants building/debris falling, but they should not allow George Street to be free from traffic at this time, festival or not its chaos!

[Denise @ddm2977]

@JohnSwinney Council's don't maintain them & they end up shut or with charges that people can't afford, so the land is then sold off!

Where’s the next generation of Scottish players coming from when @tennisscotland chooses to close its only training centre for the summer holidays (8 weeks)? And offers no funding for kids in national or international competitions. Yet there are 4 full time performance staff. 🤷‍♀️

[Wide Awake Media @wideawake_media]

Ann Widdecombe schools a roomful of woke students on the importance of free speech.

"Only two sorts of people oppose free speech... snowflakes and totalitarians."

"Nobody has the right to live their lives being protected from offence, or from insult, or from hurt feelings."

"It is an occupational hazard of living in society. And if you really can't take it, become a hermit."

"No matter how much we may disagree with somebody, we should defend to the hilt their right to say it."

"You succeed by defeating your opponent, not by wishing him away. You get nowhere by trying not to hear what is being said."

"You may feel virtuous today in what you will not hear, but tomorrow somebody may feel virtuous in not hearing what you have to say."

"Free speech is for all, not for the privileged few."

[Adam Brooks AKA EssexPR 🇬🇧 @EssexPR]

Call me old fashioned, but I don’t believe Parliament should have a 6 week break. These people are elected to represent us. We pay them.
The country’s problems don’t stop over summer.

I find this pretty diabolical.

[Julia Hartley-Brewer @JuliaHB1]

Hey @waitrose. Please can you identify which people other than women need to use tampons for their periods?

Can you name even one man who needs tampons? One. That's all you need to provide. I'm waiting...

[Denise @ddm2977]

@JamTarts Rumour is he signed for Rangers yesterday

[Denise @ddm2977]

@Jenny_1884 Some of them are out working & some are struggling to find a job

[Imtiaz Mahmood @ImtiazMadmood]

Whistleblower Adele Weir exposed a Rotherham grooming gang with at least 270 victims.

The council’s response? They told her never to refer to “Asian men” in her report… and sent her on a two-day equality and diversity course.

They punished the person trying to stop child rape - instead of the rapists.

This is how deep the rot went.
