I just reviewed my elecy and gas bills - then went online and found I could save about £400 per year and fix prices until May 2015....

I assume you all have done the same?

A hefty whack goes to the EU on carbon tax, which goes to saving the planet from global warming.

The tinfoil hat sites believe that carbon taxes are going to the global government to finance the new world order.

indeed and they may be correct...

or they may not be

but then seeing as you only think what you have been told to think who could ever tell!

No they don't. They pay more than the average UK taxpayer, and more than many regions, but less than those in London and the South East.

Prove me wrong then. Find me a London taxpayer that pays more as a percentage of their income.

The evidence shows that those of us in London and the SE pay the most tax per head, and as we are better paid, many more of us are higher rate tax payers, so it seems apparent that we would pay more as a percentage of our income than citizens of a frozen wasteland full of minimum wagers.

As in previous years, the analysis shows that it is only the wider South East (Greater London, the South
East and the Eastern Region) that made a positive net contribution to the UK public finances in 2006-07,
with the Northern regions, the Midlands and the South West joining Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland
as a net drain on the Exchequer.

Why don't you prove your point with some actual data instead of an SNP press release for a change?
