Go with Ebico.

In general this program isn't doing anything too earth-shattering though. Tariffs are confusing, bills are estimated and inaccurate and people are wasting energy.

Dispatches tonight at 8.00 - 9.00 pm. Channel 4, is looking at the gas industry. It's called, 'The Truth About Your Energy Bill'

The programme explains why our energy bills are so high and why they will continue to rise. The gas price is artificially linked to the oil price when there is no need for it to be. Wholesale prices have doubled and that's been passed on to the consumer whilst they have given their shareholders £250 million in dividends. They are also operating price fixing. I expect it will be depressing watching tbh. Rip off Britain triumphs yet again.

All down to a bunch of fooking poofta mafia being in charge.

The looming 'energy gap' was already known about 10 years ago when Labour came to power & what did they do...spent all their time forcing through the repeal of Section 28 with Parliament Act.

Also in Switzerland. Perhaps it's a European thing.

Hopefully the mighty Brown will bish bash bosh them into dropping prices.

He can then add a Carbon Tax to the bills so everyone pays exactly the same and with the money he raises he can increase the Civil Servants pensions accordingly.

Face facts. You is either ripped by the private sector or the public sector, or under Labour, by both.
