“The fuel prices are high due to the war”
Shell profits: £14.3 billion
BP profits: £5.8 billion
A combined 52% rise from the previous year
Government takes: £31 billion
It’s not the war it’s greed
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 .
The world is changing it doesn’t mean we have too lads,look after your family and keep your friends close🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺we are here for a good time not a long time
💙 Matty Blades ❤️
It is with the heaviest of hearts that FC Hartlepool share the devastating news of the passing of Matty Blades, a much-loved member of our football family, who tragically lost his life while on duty as a police officer.
As coach of our U10 Reds, a team that was made even more special by having his eldest son playing alongside the boys, Matty was so much more than a coach. He was a role model, a mentor, a friend, and someone the children looked up to and admired. He was able to share his love of football with his son while inspiring and supporting every child on the team.
Matty gave his time, energy, and heart to the team. He encouraged the boys, believed in them, supported them, and helped them grow—not only as footballers but as young people. His kindness, patience, and infectious personality made him loved by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
The U10 Reds have lost a coach, but our club has lost a truly special person and a valued member of the FC Hartlepool family.
Our deepest thoughts and condolences are with Matty’s family, friends, and everyone who knew and loved him - especially his wife and two boys whom he adored. We stand beside them during this incredibly difficult time.
Matty, thank you for everything you gave to our club and to our boys. Your place within the FC Hartlepool family will always remain, and your memory will live on in the team, in the children you inspired and in everyone whose life you touched.
Rest peacefully, Matty.
"One of the biggest moments of our lives.”
