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 .

Nicely complied and all in one place.👏👏

Labour and lefty hypocrisy, they will simply ignore.🤡

I've no idea who made this, but it's bloody brilliant & sums up the current mood of the country!

[Aleksandra Huk @HukAleksandra]

So you’re telling me that:

- Income Tax
- National Insurance
- Corporation Tax
- Capital Gains Tax
- Council Tax
- VAT
- Excise Duty
- Fuel Duty
- Stamp Duty
- Air Passenger Duty
- Insurance Premium Tax
- Green Taxes
- Gambling Taxes
- Plastic Bag Charges
- Carbon Emissions Levy
- Landfill Tax
- TV Licence Fee
- Congestion Charges
- Sugar Tax
- Now VAT on Private School Fees

STILL isn’t enough to fund public services, roads and schools?

Meanwhile, the government is:
- Freezing income tax thresholds (dragging millions into higher bands)
- Hiking council tax bands
- Raising Capital Gains Tax
- Upping employer National Insurance
- Killing off the non-dom regime
- Hiking Stamp Duty on second homes
- Freezing inheritance tax thresholds
- Planning cuts to pension tax relief
- Looking at scrapping or limiting your £20,000 tax-free ISA allowance (so even your savings aren’t safe)

Taxed when you earn.
Taxed when you spend.
Taxed when you save.
Taxed when you die.

How is this normal? 🤡🌍

@IronMaiden Thank you. Seen maiden many times. This was next level. Flawless. Set list spot on. Dave Murray was on fire.
UP THE IRONS !!!

@basilthegreat How could any right minded decent human stand in the way of an inquiry into the sickening cruelty these children have endured ? Unless you’re part of the problem.

If Keir Starmer had said before the election that he would remove the winter fuel allowance from millions of pensioners, add inheritance to family farms and family businesses, council tax & energy price increases, raise university tuition fees, plaster mass-scale solar panels on thousands of acres of prime farmland despite huge local community objections, spaff £22bn of taxpayers’ money on carbon capture machines, give £3bn a year of taxpayers’ money to Ukraine, betray WASPI women, hang out with BlackRock, pledge a 20% cut in meat & dairy and get exposed for receiving over £100,000 worth of freebies - he almost certainly wouldn’t have won. He duped the electorate. An utterly shameless display of snake oil political salesmanship. And still he lectures all of us in that gratingly sanctimonious manner of his like we are all somehow the problem here.

@liamgfansclub @liamgallagher @NoelGallagher Logged on to @Ticketmaster early. Front of the queue at 9am only to crash and go to the back of the queue. So would have easily got tickets. How can charging 3times the face value be legal? Loyal oasis fans have been scammed.

[Dave Mortimer @dmmorts]

@liamgfansclub @liamgallagher @NoelGallagher After waiting 6hrs. 3 tickets cost £467 EACH. Only 3 left together. Disgraceful profiteering. All concerned should be ashamed of themselves. Down to earth band of the people. No chance. Probably had this planned for years.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Absolutely

This is CCTV from Manchester Airport showing what happened before the police had to put the boot in. Those two ‘innocent’ men who were tasered can be seen smashing a cops face in. The woman cop got a particularly nasty punch to the face. The cops should get medals
