Well after todayβs announcement from the Bank of England, there is something very, very, very wrong in the system... π‘
So β¦ let me get this straight:
* British Gas made a profit of Β£1.3bn between January & June
* BP announced profits of Β£6.95 billion between April and June alone
* Shell has profited by Β£9.4bn in a year
The MEN at the top:
* John Pettigrew, boss of National Grid received Β£6.5m bonus on top of his salary
* Chris OβShea, chief executive of British Gas owner Centrica was paid almost Β£2m last year in salary and benefits
* Centrica's non-executive directors were paid almost Β£1m
* Scottish Power's CEO Keith Anderson is on Β£1.15m.
* E.On boss Michael Lewis is on Β£1m
* EDF's Simone Rossi is also on Β£1m
* And their top execs enjoyed a share of Β£4.65m
* Peter Simpson of Anglian Water earned a Β£1.3m pay package
* Welsh Water bosses awarded themselves bonuses of over Β£930,000
* Severn Trent bosses awarded themselves bonuses of Β£5.56m
* Thames Water's Sarah Bentley, received a Β£727,000 bonus on top of her Β£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 β¦ 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 .
People will read that and then with a straight face still try tell you that illegal immigrants and ethnic minorities and Muslims are the problem. Mental.
CHAMPIONS AGAIN!
π Celtic are crowned Champions of Scotland for the FIFTH season in a row!
Huge congratulations to Martin OβNeill and the Bhoys
#Champion5 | #CelticFCππ
Another example of the boards incompetence. The meeting already adjourned rather than allow a shareholder to make a reasonable proposal to move on to next business beyond showing us a video. #ticAGM
1 charlatan Chairman. 2 incompetent Execs. 7 unanswered questions. 19 days of silence. 420 letter signatories. 3,000+ late entries v Kilmarnock. 5,000+ holding posters v Partick Thistle.
The Celtic support is united, demanding answers and campaigning for change.
Fans are being asked to enter the stand on 12 minutes tomorrow as another demonstration of fan unity against the Celtic board.
"Football without fans is nothing" - show them.
@plyons45@asimrabbani Agree Paul, there have been worst teams in my lifetime, but the performance was in the top 3 worst in my 40 years following Celtic
@Stephen4_2 I was at that game. Celtic fans sat behind home & 3rd base side of the park. Great night. Couldn't buy any Celtic merchandise. The RedSox store was full of Sporting shirts.....
We ask Keir Starmer & the British Gov to Introduce provision for Independence referendum for Scotland & Wales
The British Gov on occasions have stated we are in a voluntary Union
Therefore a legal mechanism should exist for any part of the Union to leave
Please RT if you agree
