Mate, I stopped paying my bills when they became ridiculously over priced a couple of months ago.

Gas companies......... Middle Finger

Electric companies......... Middle Finger

Council tax.......... Middle Finger Middle Finger

The lot of you can kiss my arse........(except my water company they are already paid up till october next year.)

The price is too much already, how many people are they going to cut off for not paying it because they simply cant afford to? There should be bloody uproar.

None. They will just put a prepayment meter in so that you only get any gas / electric if you have already paid for it. They will put a higher unit price on it to make up for the debts you owe them. On top of that there is the higher unit price that you will pay for a prepayment anyway.

All the best

There's going to be a fair bit of business for chimney sweeps and plumbers after everybody goes back to open fires with back boilers that's for sure.

good! with global warming and what not we need to be paying these kind of prices

How does the price of the fuel have any effect on the environmental impact of the burning of that fuel? Confused

It's not at all about global warming or any of that bollocks, its all about profits for the oil companies and revenue for the governbent. After all, our unelected prime minister is still thinking he's chancellor of the exchequer, what better way to make loads of money from the public than fuel prices always rising. Rolling Eyes

because of course we live in one of the safest country's in the world!
with the safety we experience daily from terrorists and crime and what not..you can only expect that there would be a high cost of living. with the ice caps melting on top of that of course the price of energy is going to go up!

I can't believe I have actually come across a person with this ridiculous, naive and totally won over by the government bullshit opinion.

How in your view does the UK moving into the EU benefit us?

With the present world issues it's a very important time; and so important to have an election so we can get rid of Labour, the country would be far better with someone in charge who isn't asleep at the wehel like Brown is! How do you think things will be by 2010 if Brown doesn't call an election before then?

Too right, we need to start to deal with the people who think they have the right to do just as they like. Like the Labour muppets running this country, and we also need to do something about the mindless fools who are still supporting them and their crazy ideas.

Did you vote Labour at the last election?

Surprised UFO's are real too!?

I'm sure I am a serious threat what with my wanting of cheaper simpler taxes. Wink

When you say "who cares about millions of years" - doesn't that make you a denyer? Going by the fact that the earths temperature has altered quite a lot over those millions of years. Ice age anyone? Perhaps that'll be the next thing to tax us for when every vehicle has been banned from the road Laughing

I'm fully aware that petrol prices are down to two things; the oil companies, and the government amount of fuel tax and VAT charged. Fuel prices wouldn't be nearly as high if it wasn't for the amount of tax being paid on it all.

Fuel taxation is the only control the governbent have on how badly the rising fuel prices affect the country. But instead of lowering taxes, they just put off the 2p increase. Yeah thanks, that makes it so much better. Rolling Eyes

I don't know, and neither do you or any other interest experts speculating on what did or didn't happen.

Did you vote Labour at the last election then?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAA!!!
This has got to be a wind up account Laughing

So government officials are doing a good job you say. Good enough for their high paid salary, second home allowance and pardons for being contradictory twats.

Wasn't so long ago we were wasting too much food followed by our good old pm going for a 16 course dinner on the other side of the world.

Seconded for this being a wind up - if this is real I would be very very suprised.

And to act in a more grown up way - if you told me this face to face, I would give you an almighty dead leg.

for me i cant believe it when i come across the opposite,for all those who sense the big picture...big up, i know there are many of you on this forum. for the rest of you sort your fucking act out, i am fucking sick of being sourounded by a world of liability's lacking basic education and the ability to put two and two together..even the most basic of physics knowledge lets the truth shine through.
"oh but its so much to swallow" yea well open your mouth and get busy or you will be forced to suck on something much worse for the rest of your life.
the evidence is here there and every where..its in peoples actions,there documents,there words...but oh oh no no no you just turn a blind eye call the person telling you a lunatic and carry on with your day..
"but what can i do im just one person"

no ones ever asked you to buy a batman suit and ride around all night on a scooter covered with batman stickers saving the world!

all each person needs to do is become aware...with awareness this could not take place..there is one huge group of conspiracy theorists on this planet..... hmmm is it the group who believes 19 hijackers can outsmart the most defended country in the history of the world with the biggest defense budget in the history of the world,the one who thinks buildings damaged at the top can fall into dust at free fall speed and planes can vaporise on impact?(yet a passport from the hijackers pocket was found in perfect condition on the street below and was used as a means of identification?)

or is it the group who go with the grain/not against it..and work with the laws of physics and logic..and are able to accept the answer..even if they don't like it?
the west has taken the leed in the world for a long long time.and guess what..its about to lose it..by design..and for the bigger % of the people here..they deserve all thats coming.

And to act in a more grown up way - if you told me this face to face, I would give you an almighty dead leg--and what do you do when you are told IMPOSSIBLE things have happened on the news? are you outraged..do you go "dear god! was is this crap something needs to be.. oh i wonder who's down the pub tonight.. yea i feel like a pint"
put your jokes and shit aside.. look into these matters..see whats going on..and every comment i have made in the posts before this.. i have heard from peoples mouths..yes there are people stupid enough to believe it.
