Energy Companies 23:11 - Jul 7 with 10826 views | max936 | We are owed a 4 figure sum off an energy company exposed by Watchdog on the One Show earlier in the week, we've emailed Watchdog but surprisingly they don't want to know. Anybody had a similar experience by them of another company, if yes did they resolve the issue if yes how? Ombudsman is next to useless, and the energy company in question keeps fobbing us off and are clearly intent on not paying up. | |

Think you will find it was Russia who blew up the pipeline. Not sure what this has to do with the high energy prices all caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and cutting of gas supplies to Germany. | |

Energy Companies on 06:49 - Jul 17 by SullutaCreturned | Yes I know, green initiatives have drawbacka too. The people running this country (as I have kept saying) are a bunch of self serving, greedy, lying, hypocrites. We need political change on a scale that will never happen because our politicians are the ones we need to make that change. The drive for net zero is an overblown promise that is also drivingthe cost of living crisis and causing other problems. The Senedd won't improve infrastructure because of the "climate crisis" so Wales stagnates, businesses leave OR they don't come here in the first place when maybe they would have. All these green taxes and then we give green energy comanies massive subsidies AND our unit prices are much higher too, they coin it at both ends, we are being ripped off on a massive scale. It doesn't mean that we shouldn't try and help our planet rather than keep destroying it, people like you and me, AFD, we are not the problem. Big business, bad politicians and greedy people, they are the problem. |
Spot on about the Senedd. | |

When the pipeline is stopped, we import more expensive LNG from the US. Not sure what Russia would gain from doing this. Sometimes, you have to look outside the box. | | | |

They were at war with Ukraine and by cutting off gas supplies to Germany in particular they were hoping that support for Ukraine by the EU and NATO countries would stop. It is called blackmail. They also tried to do the same thing with grain exports from Ukraine blockading the Black Sea ports . They only allowed exports to resume when rhe United Nations agreed to allow exports of grain and fertiliser from Russia. Another case of blackmail. The Russians have now broken that agreement. Yesterday was also the anniversary of the Russians forces and thier allies shooting down a civilian aircraft enroute from Netherlands to Malaysia. A fact verified by both an independent aircraft crash investigation and a court of Law which found Russians guilty. | |

Even the Yanks have said it wasn't Russia,.They have tried to throw Ukraine under the bus, by saying a Ukranian boat was seen near the event. If they wanted to blackmail the west, they could have simply refused to start the pipeline up again after the maintenance and saved 800 million tons of their own assets The grain export was caused by the Ukraine mining their own ports , and insurance companies refusing to allow ships to sail in case they hit one. There was plenty of grain going out of Russia via rail. Some countries had to stop the grain going to them as it was undercutting their own farmers. Not sure how you can talk about blackmail when we have put sanctions on Russsia, and even stolen the assets of many, simply because they happen to be Russian Which independent crash investigation has verified this.Yes, the court has found Russians guilty, although nobody has been prosecuted because there's no proof of who it was | | | |

Threr named individuals were prosecuted and found guilty of mass murder by a court in the Netherlands. The country were most of the victims came on. It is a complete lie by you to claim no one has been prosecuted. No sanctions would have been impossed on Russia if it had not invaded a sovereign country in violation of the United Nations charter which of course Russia is a member of. | |

The defendants never appeared in court. The court said the missile was not targeted at the aircraft deliberately, unlike the missile the US ship fired at the Iranian passenger aircraft. I don’t believe anyone was prosecuted for that. Enough of your whataboutery. There’s no way Russia blew up their own pipeline. There’s no logic in that scenario at all. 800 million tons of methane into the atmosphere is a disgrace. Did i show you the video where Biden said they would do it? | | | |
Energy Companies on 09:30 - Jul 19 with 1014 views | majorraglan | Getting back on track, I see that Macquarie the company that owned Thames Water when the debt levels increased to about £10 have increased their already significant holding in National Gas after buying another huge stake from National Grid. How are these things allowed to happen ? If we are to have private companies owning huge national assets, then our regulators need to have teeth and real powers to hold people to account and our politicians need to have spines.

I would have to ask how many of our politicians or their family members have shares in McQuarie OR how many are on their payroll or will be when they leave politics. When the 40 thieves say open sesame in the UK, the door that opens is Black and has the number 10 on it. | | | |

Of course the missile was targeted deliberately at the aircraft that is why the missile hit it . What the court said is the dumb Russians who fired the missile did not verify if it was a civilian aircraft. The defendants refused to appear in court. Please stick to the about Russians illegal invasion of Ukraine. Illegal execution of civilians in Ukraine and other war crimes. Tye Americans of course owned up to the accidental shooting down of the Iranian plane something Russia had never done. . | |

The court said it was fired by Russian and Ukrainian separatists, but wasn't aimed deliberately at the airliner They could hardly deny it. It was accidental shot down by the American navy.The Malaysian airliner wasn't shot down by Russia, but independent separatists - allegedly. Have the Ukraine used those illegal cluster bombs yet? | | | |
Energy Companies on 23:09 - Jul 20 with 851 views | majorraglan | My son is moving house and I spent over 4 hours yesterday trying to sort out his switch from British Gas to EDF after his “automated” switch fell through. EDF were a nightmare to deal with, I was bounced around between a number of overseas call handlers, then back to the U.K. then back to the overseas call centre then back to the U.K. rinse and repeat. The only time I could get any sense was when I was speaking to call handlers in Hove, the overseas staff were really poor. I’ll never switch to EDF - awful customer service. The British Gas staff were in South Africa, but they were very helpful and new what they were doing. We’re paying to dollar for our energy and the service we’re getting is rubbish.🤬 | | | |

Far better than socialism or even worse communism like in Russia where Putin's allies have been given state assets and have become billionaires while the Russian people have become even poorer. | |

I agree about communism, but laissez faire capitalism doesn't work either. We had socialism before Thatcher ushered in Neo Liberalism. The country actually owned and controlled it's assets then, before the traitors sold it all off. As for your comment about the Russian people getting poorer, the same has happened here and in the other western capitalist countries. Russia actually gave shares in it's industry to the people back in the 90s - you obviously aren't aware of this.Many working class ppl sold them off as soon as they could. They were then bought up by the investors and oligarchs. The Oligarchs weren't just given them. I suggest, that before you spout off your anti left wing rhetoric, that you do some reading | | | |

Capitalism may be a better system but only marginlly these days because those standards are falling, health care is failing and our politicians are becoming more authoritarian all the time. They lie to us and steal from us and get shirty when we expect the rules to be applied to them, Bojo even tried to change the rules to keep his allies out of trouble. There has to be a better way that really is better. | | | |
