I'm fed up of being a cash cow for foreign owned companies whilst our Government sit back and twiddle their thumbs - even the proposed nuclear electric plants are gonna be run by the French.
What exactly has opening the energy industry to 'competition' got the ordinary person on the street? Nothing - we can't even switch to a cheaper supplier because they are all lining their pockets with the same rates
Gets off very high horse
Indeed, well that's 30+ years of the Thatcherite consensus for you. The Tories shouldn't have flogged them off to pay for mass unemployment and Labour (IIRC) shouldn't have let foreigners buy large stakes. That's this country for you. It's hard to believe it can be in so much debt when both the Tories and Labour seemingly have tried so hard to keep the coffers full - at the long term detriment to the ordinary British citizen.
