Energy customers "not cash cows"

[scooterscot]

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.

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

You've still not proven me wrong. All that attachment says is the SE paid more as a region. Of course it did, there's more people there. But per capita, no.

Just received a letter from Southern Electric/SSE - one of many recent letters trying to reassure their customer base following the price hikes.

The opening title of the letter reads:

"Aiming higher - because you matter to us"

Yeah, about 8.2% higher you ***tards, there's no need to brag about it

The letter is actually about customer service, but I just thought that was seriously poor judgement from the customer service manager who wrote it.

I realise that being from the provinces you probably find the geography of our country slightly confusing, but London and the SE isn't the UK. your graph shows the UK as a whole (which includes Wales and Northern Ireland, as well as the North West, North East and various other places you may have heard of in myths and legends)

Having dealt with remedial geography, lets do some remedial maths. London and the SE is the only region that made a net contribution. That means that, however many people there are, the per capita contribution was > 0. Scotland was a net drain, which means that however many people there are, their per capita contribution was < 0.

Of course if you had anything about you then you would have taken those aggregate figures and divided them by the number of people to produce data to prove your point. Then you would have STFU as you realised you were wrong.

Apologies for the lack of pictures but I can't be bothered to express this in a graphical form as all of the evidence shows you won't understand that either.

You should have switched and fixed as soon as they announced their price hike.

Ha yes I got one of these - it is about customer service but in my head they are just trying to justify their prices..

also what do you mean customer service - just run a wire n gas pipe to my house n turn em on - not exactly rocket science is it?

No evidence = lost argument.

The SE / City have bankrupted the UK for generations with casino gambling. Call that a net contribution? It makes articles such as
London's taxes prop up the rest of the UK: One pound in every five earned in the capital funds the rest of the country
utterly redundant.

It's amazing in the attachment you sent it can argue "More of us are winners than losers" considering the divide between the few rich and the many poor is at the widest it's ever been.

So you admit that you've lost then?

Here is a link to the ONS "blue book" which has all the evidence you need to prove to yourself that you are talking out of your wee Scottish arse.

Why do people in London complain about subsidises to Scotland when tax payers in Scotland pay more per head then any other UK taxpayer over and above the subsidises they receive? Or is math not your strong point?

And how many tax payers are there in Scotland

You do realise that when it refers to "winners" it means "places subsidsed by London & the SE" don't you? Or did you not actually read it properly?

Oh so you love mass immigration?
