British Gas has just announced half-yearly profits of half a billion pounds. Certainly a good argument for public ownership. As is the fact that public ownership is British ownership, that it safeguards the Union, and that its means of defending both the sovereignty and the integrity of this nation frequently even had the word "British" in their names.
Moreover, remember that wildly inflated fuel prices, falling particularly hard on the poor (including very many of the old), are being enforced as part of the war against secure and skilled employment, against the paternal authority thus possessed of the necessary economic basis, against global economic development, against travel by us common people, and against our access to the meat that we are designed to eat.

In what ways would life in the UK be better if British Gas were back in public hands?
If you don't like British Gas, switch to another supplier. Simple.
What a charming period piece. Did yoy enjoy the Spandau Ballet reunion tour? Or did you not realise that it was a reunion, or that any such was necessary?
ReplyDelete"Us common people"? You? I don't think so! Not that I mind, you are in a long line of politicians who achieved great things for "us common people" but were nowhere near common themselves.
