hey look at the Gas suppliers with forced meter changes.

These need to go on the list of things that needs fixing and passed to the next government if not completed by the current one.

I think that there's some bias in government in favour of large enterprises and against the interests of 'the people'.
I have no confidence in this government's desire or ability to fix anything.

or any previous governments.

These powers are a holdover from when they were nationalised, large landlords for instance do not have the same right to access the property to do gas safety checks which are a an annual legal requirement. I doubt Tesco or SportsDirect have the right to raise a criminal prosecution.

What should happen is a review of such rights pre/post privatisation (or merger HMRC acquiring customs & excise rights) and remove as needed.

The woman in charge eventually resigned.

I think she ended up on a board elsewhere soon afterwards though.

Not just the PO and Gas companies with powers you'd be surprised by. The RSPCA has (admittedly not un-restricted) access to the National Firearms Licensing System (NFLMS).

The RSPCA are the ones who will "investigate" and prosecute you for alleged animal welfare offences.

Oh and don't leave them or any large charity a percentage of your estate. If you wish to leave a charity money leave a fixed sum.

Large charities especially the RSPCA take executors to Court for not being able to get the most money from a deceased love ones estate e.g. a house that may have a market value of £1million is generally worth less as someone's estate but the charity refuses to recognise that.

Can't be *ed to post any inks but seen so many reports of problems over the years with some charities, lush spending on headquarters, high wages for bosses, unreasonable prosecutions, mispent money that ends up in the hands of corrupt/criminals, excessive amounts spent on political lobbying etc. Need more controls.

You missed out sexual exploitation of minors in your long list of the tulip they get up to.
