The Arrogance of out of touch Huhne.

So Chris Huhne thinks its the fault of the lazy consumers for not being bothered to shop around to find the cheapest energy deals. This from a person who has increased the average bill by introducing a green tax that will do nothing to ease the problem. All this will do is build up the government coffers. Does he think  for one minute that the population is fooled into believing  that this tax will be for wind farms and solar panels. These constructions may be built by some energy company but they will be funded by even more higher energy bills. The sad part is that these companies should be taken back into state control, where their billion pound profits can be used for the good of the population not the share holders. The share holders would be paid for their share what they paid for them when these companies were floated on the stock market. They wouldnt' loose any money because they have also received dividends each year on their shares. The people who may loose out are the people in Europe. Why because sadly these companies are now mainly owned by European companies, who are ripping the British consumer at the expense of their European customers. Gas prices are on average 18% and electric prices are on average 11%. compare that with Europe. In Germany electric prices have been held at 0% whilst gas prices are being held at 11% . In France electric prices have increased by 3% and gas has been held at 0%.In Spain electric prices can't be increased more than 1.5% as set by the Spanish Government, gas at 0%. In Italy there have been no increases in both gas and electric prices. These energy companies supply about 11 million consumers in Britain. But Scottish Power, EDF, npower, E.on are owned by French, German and Spanish companies and do not increase their domestic consumers anywhere near as high as their British consumers. This isn't the fault of the Europeans is the fault of the weak British Government and the spineless energy secretary Huhne. He has said that he is in absolute favour of people making lots of money in a fair and competative market, again this remark from an arrogant millionaire. Then he goes on to say I'm absolutely against people making money by abusing a dominant position. Isn't that what the big six energy companies are doing If Huhne was honest he would say that these companies are all in a cartel but no body in authority will say that or challenge them. We all know that when one company puts is prices up the others will all follow in a few weeks at the latest. And he says this isn't a dominant market where people are making obscene profits. We all agree that companies have to make profits to survive, to reinvest etc, but where is the line to be drawn between profit and greed. I believe that is where a company says that is has made £1.5 billion for the first quarter of the year then announces large percentage increases. But the really said thing is that Huhne has said that these companies are justified in these obscene increases, but is he saying it because he believes it or is he saying it because he is cosying up to them and will expect a job with them in the future if he leaves politics or when he looses his seat. And who can trust a man that is alleged to have asked his ex wife to take his penalty points for speeding. This has still to be decided and the CPS have all the evidence but for some reason according to the police they are hanging back. Why? Could it be that as a government minister it will be hushed up wink, wink, nod, nod, you know what I mean? No body in power today especially members of this government or parliament can be trusted they are now amongst the most corrupt people in the country. At least the people who stole during the riots did it in a way openly. These people do it behind closed doors and try their best to make sure that it remains behind closed doors by trying to ban the media from publishing it.
