With the increasing price of gas/electricity and a lot of households facing genuine hardship; given all the moaning, booing and shame on you calls in parliament when Labour were in opposition and the Tories put VAT on gas/electric. Wouldn't it be nice if all that concern for the elderly/less well off in society could be recalled and remove the said VAT altogether.

We have done everythng to reduce our energy bills that government has required of us: we have enough fibreglass loft insulation in the loft to start a new production line for Lotus Cars; we have stuffed every orifice of the cavities in our walls with recycled paper mush; we have had a new energy efficient boiler fitted; we have double glazing and it really pisses me off to hear that bastard Hilary Benn go on about how my bills are lower than they would have been had I not taken action. Even with cutting down on usage (no standbys or unnecessary microwave clocks in our house, indeed no microwave) having been an environmentalist since reading Silent Spring in the early 1960s I effingwell object to these Johnny-come-latelys telling me what the eff to do. I've effingwell done it all before any of you mothereffers had heard of effing windmill power and still my energy bills have risen by about twenty per cent in the last year. Eff you you mothereffers, spin on my digit, csuckers, I'm voting Green at the next effing election and if my one vote prevents you effing turncoats from getting elected I'll dance on your effing graves you arselicking fetid business bonus loving bastards  |

Bless him  It's always great to hear about people who care BECAUSE THEY CARE, rather than because they're told to, and people like Mr. O here are the reason why things aren't even worse than they are By the way Frankie, did you know that pensioners receive the princely sum of £200 per annum from the government towards their fuel bills? I know this because my granny, who is totally in agreement with you about the VAT, sticks a finger up to this by giving her annual £200 to me and my brother at Christmas |

Politicians are all out for themselves. At PM question time MY stock answer to questions while stood at the dispatch box would be.......IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, REPEAL IT WHEN YOU'RE IN POWER. |
