The tories sold off all our utilities to the French & Germans who both have more than 25% of the gas from Russia. We're paying their gad bills, not ours. The Tory gvnt has been so short-sighted & our working classes are so easily led that we have shot ourselves in the foot, knee & testies all with one bullet | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Yes, there are enough gas reserves in the North Sea for us to be self-sufficient but that requires investment, whereas private energy companies want instant profit and no long-term investment. It's the same with the railway companies.. [Post edited 28 Dec 2022 14:48]

Why cant we run our own utilities? The Tories have sold off Rail,Gas etc . Selling off Council Housing was a mistake,now we have so many people paying huge rates and young people unable to get on the housing ladder. This Country is going to get a huge wake up call in the new year. When you think in the Past we had our own Rail ,Steel, Shipbuilding ,Textile Football,Utilities etc etc.makes you want to weep. 2 World wars ruined this Country as well. Happy New Year. | ![](/images/avatars/2053.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I would say its the main factor over recent months as general supply has dropped right across europe making the price increase. Then we have an ever reducing means to store gas and thus always paying the latest rates. There are also other factors like south america and asia increasing their levels of gas as they reduce coal energy. | ![](/images/avatars/11241.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

The rich have always had the power. Read your history books. That's why the new model army & Cromwell killed Charles I & took over parliament & why the yanks wanted independence because they didn't want to be governed from British royals & parliament 2000 miles away This is information that's easy to get hold of.

Yes Scoot, I am very well aware of the history of the rich over lording it with the poor. Those of us who are Generation X or Baby Boomers have up to 2020 as Harrold MacMillan said way back in 1957 "have never had it so good", but the Elites are closing that door and through plandemic, phoney war, eco-fascism and engineered cost of living crisis will firmly put us (and more importantly our children) back in our place. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |
