As was recently reported it must be great being a Utility company in treasure island. The government are of course complicit in enjoying high prices being levelled on their subjects because it increases their greedy immoral tax take. The county is being run by traitors.

With higher commodity prices not only are our own greedy politicians being enriched but our enemies in Russia & the Middle East to which we have many, just remember that the next time you fill your tank with petrol or switch the heating on it's probably paying for a nice bit of military hardware soon to be pointing in our direction.

Yes of course, because the UK imports so many things from overseas. So, when the pound is weak everything is more expensive.
