Ahh it’s a new day, new week and oh... Something to rant about this week we’re going to tackle something regarding the UK, I apologise for not getting other countries involved with this rant however people form their own, respective countries as they would know more. Today we’re going to be going on about the Gas and Electric.

Warning: This rant contains swearing and Rage, if so you didn’t look at this warning who’s really to blame? Me? Nope I don’t think so.

Let us begin by saying we’re obviously in a recession, this means bills are going up but the Government have been complaining about the Gas and electric being far too high. Now we’re closing in on winter and guess what we’ve been told “The Gas and electric prices are going to go up again.” Wait what?!? That’s right the price of your Gas and Electric is going to shoot up again despite the fact these providers, informed us that the competitive prices should be getting lower. These gas and electric providers actually expect us to be grateful at prices they are today, how the hell should we be grateful if they’ve gotten expensive?!?! But listen to this you’ve all seen the latest British Gas advert, their practically boosting about how they’ve done little "To make your world a better place we've dropped our electricity prices. Giving you the cheapest standard electricity, on average, in Britain. Look after your world with British Gas." That’s giving us a middle finger!! You expect us to be grateful if the prices haven’t changed, get more expensive or you’ve only taken £5 from it? Guess what I’m not buying this crap. I hate British Gas anyway, all the time it’s the same thing they say they’re the lowest rate for gas and Electric but ALL the fucking time, we get a price raise or hidden charges leaving people in serious debt. But it’s not just British gas, all the damn suppliers do it and it makes you wonder why people are actually losing their homes because their trying to deal with this debt. If you want my advice, go for the meter NEVER DEBT!! Because if you give them your credit or Debt card, they in effect can take as much as they want from you just because of a bill they made up, at least with the meter you can control the payments on your own turf.

So what does this mean for everyday people, the ones who have to go to work who aren’t rich and may have to rely on benefits. Well the people who take the biggest punch in the face are effectively the retired, the over 50 or 60’s who can’t work and have to depend on petitions, the elderly aren’t given a lot of money by the Government and they have to struggle. They have to make sacrifices like getting cheap things maybe even less food then they usually have, but the worst is that some of the Elderly get it SO bad they’re working because they don’t have a choice. These people are the ones who can actually die in the winter if they have no heat to support them, the fact that they aren’t getting any discounts or an insult of a discount is damn right disgusting. The younger generation don’t have it any easy, this recession has highly hurt jobs and it’s making it harder for people to obtain a house, even if they do get one, they’re still in for a rough ride. The Gas and electric will become priority and if there’s only one of them working this poor man or woman, will have to physically push himself or herself to meet ends means by taking longer hours perhaps even night shifts. And the government are wondering why nearly everyone is on benefits well frankly, what fucking choice do people have?

Speaking of Government let’s move on, what are the Government doing about it they’re actually complaining about the bills as much as we are. However there’s one main concern... WHY THE FUCK ISN’T IT MENTIONED ANYMORE?!?!?! Want to know why? Well it’s simple, you see the companies invite the government to a party and then they offer them a bribe. Now it’s not just gas or electric companies that do this, it’s even Water, Mobile and Telephone even the internet! The offers are FREE gas and FREE electric if not that, they get a discount that is way below our bills for life now you would think: “My government is perfect, they wouldn’t dare do a sort of thing like this!!!!” Really? So explain why our prices are going up and the Government have stopped talking about it. If it you think about it it’s obvious why. BUT if you happen to get a statement from the Government saying that it’s actually saying that Ofgen is there to make sure we’re protected from these sort of things, well if you happen to travel to their H.Q in London you’ll find out YOU’VE WASTED YOUR TIME!!!

Ofgen can’t say SQUAT to the supplies in order for them to reduce their prices, they had the power once but that was Seven Years ago. They gave up their power because they thought competition was keeping prices fair, the only time they’ll actually do something if they have evidence of a cartel in place. (If you look up what Cartel means on Google you’ll understand, I would explain it but it’s all mind boggling to me.) And since they’ve done an investigation on the major providers finding no evidence of this, they can’t do a thing. What will really piss you off is the fact these people are actually getting paid THOUSANDS if not hundred’s just to do nothing!!! They’re actually supposed to be the public’s servants making it easier for us, yet their getting our money and it’s still running, WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY GETTING PAID!?!?!?! You know what, fuck Ofgen you bastards are lower than scum and you don’t deserve to be on our side, if I was prime minister and I noticed this, you wouldn’t last long at all!! I would disband Ofgen and I would FINE all those people for getting so much money when they didn’t earn it, if they refused I’ll put them in prison for FIVE Years and if they survive that they’ll get £200 only when they get out, the rest of their money would be used to fuel the economy and their homes will be taken away with all their possessions, again for the economy. I would like to see how long they would last in our world when they get out, their names and faces would not be hidden.

So by the looks of things the Government aren’t going to help us anytime soon, Ofgen can’t do a thing to help us and the providers themselves will continue to rule their own bills. Sure you can complain about it to a friendly gas man or electric man, however you wouldn’t be getting anywhere. Don’t bother with the lackies and concentrate your anger on the higher ups, it’s things that this that make me realise what are the Dark Day’s? They call the medieval times the Dark days because there was no medicine like there was today, however creating fires didn’t cost you the world medicine wouldn’t be expensive as it would be done by honest people. But nowadays the Government believes on taxing us for everything, not even relenting because of their own greed and it’s also the rich people who undermine us, making sure we know less than they do and dictating how we live our lives. So know what, THIS IS THE DARK TIMES!!! Not for all but especially the public, there’s nothing worse than a greedy bastard in charge and frankly it makes me wonder how long we’re going to put up with it. One or two things are going to happen: The first is there’s actually going to be a rich person who actually cares about others and finally, civil war were the public take out our aggression out on the rich and putting them in their own prisons for what they have done to us. Not all rich people deserve to be in prison but those in the Government and the ones, undermining us do deserve it maybe then there will be equality in the world. To think the government say we have equality is a joke, were going through hardships they’re living the good life and pretend to have feelings about us.

And finally I really have to leave you all with another complaint, this regard’s the Media and Barack Obama. Now recently everyone has been going on about him making him into a big deal and it’s not just the media, there are actually people praising him. Now I said this one year ago and I’ll say it again, STOP FUCKING PRAISING HIM!!! As of yet he hasn’t done much AT ALL, yes sure he’s in charge of the G20 meeting but that is just a title nothing more, his promises so far haven’t come into effect. Where’s America’s new “Health Care”? Why are troopers still being sent to Afghanistan and when soldiers do return, there’s always someone there to take their place? How come your jobs are still going? FACE IT!! Nothing has changed!! The only thing that you really have to celebrate is that you’ve got the first African American (I’m not saying Black.) But all the change he promised seems to have disappeared or he’s forgotten about them. Either way the public will NEVER win not if it’s the rich that are in power if you think otherwise, do a comparison!

What are the differences to our former Tony Blair and your Barrack Obama? Think about it, if you notice they aren’t that much different both made promises, both smile a lot, both have a happy family. The only difference is that Obama has more power. I warned you all in November 2008 and this is what you got.

As Always...

MAY LIFE TREAT YOU WELL!
