Centrica/british Gas Profits

[paulus 26]

I have just watched a piece on the news about there expected results today, its expected there profits will be up 6% on last year, the more relevant fact to me was since 2004 gas prices have risen by roughly 250% over the same period there profits have also risen by roughly 250%. talk about taking the piss with all this bollox about rises in wholesale gas prices. we are being shafted left right and centre

Should never have privateised the Utillites. Yes they were in-efficient and cost the Govenment money, but look at the profit they ALL make now. That should be going back into the State and their own infrastructure . Either that, or make them non profit making and make the tarrifs cheaper.

 

 

 

 

.........Oh, and a special OAP tarrif, so it's cheaper for Pensioners.

 

 

 

It boils my p*ss that someone is making money out of water, FFS, it comes out the sky and is free if you want to collect it enough of it.

most of the profit comes from gas and oil extraction side of centrica, this should be aligned with the residential part of centrica(British Gas) and used to offset bills and not shared out in dividends to the fat cat shareholders. always gets me when private company's can make huge profits from things that were running at a loss under government control, and we place or trust in these people(government) to run our country

they have to be the greediest lot out them all.The price of gas and electric is a total piss take.when was the last time it actually came down in price?

So that lots of people begin to yell, "yes I love fracking, come frack me hard!"

We need to frack beautiful areas of rural land because it will make bills cheaper for you, we're always thinking of you!

 

As always, follow the money and you'll find some rich twat who wants yet more money. Thats my theory on it anyway.

Here here. True statements never do!

 

Greed pure and simple, just like this austerity period we're all supposed "to be in together", so far the only ones tightening their belts appear to to be the ones with belts so tight it wouldn't fit round ya wrist!

if you look at government spending versus income since the 1970`s, its clear that we are living on borrowed time financially. bashing the poor is just a smoke screen to appease the middle classes. fook me i have gone all political again.............

Absolutely, that's where all this "its all the doley's fault!" has come from, everybody is looking in the wrong direction for the blame! Truth is if you look at the figures, benefit fraud is actually not a huge percentage of the entire benefit budget. Not that I condone fiddling the system, but you could have 10 X as many people doing it and it still would have little effect on the overall deficit of the UK. Now lets compare that to the amount we don't receive from multi-million pound earning companies dodging their tax...

Even if the Fracking boom results in no drop in gas prices, it will give the UK economy a much needed boost.

its a vicious circle, it doesn't take much to see through the figures, even the estimated 110 billion lost a year to legal tax evasion is not even the issue . the welfare state in its present format is unsustainable, take state pensions, when this was introduced the age to be eligible to claim was i think 70 the average life expectancy back then was 48 fast forward to today and the age to be eligible has dropped and life expectancy is now in the mid to high 70`s, over half of the money collected is paid out in pensions and this figure can only rise. any government who tried to alter this would be voted out pretty quickly by the grey vote. I honestly believe all benefits should be means tested and no universal benefits should exist, take the winter fuel payment, why should the tax payer be paying for it when the fuel companies report huge profits, more social responsibility is needed on the part of all concerned from the general public to government to business.
