My friend has just got home from work and decided to check on her 80 year neighbour as it so cold, when she got in the house it was freezing , she asked her neighbour why she had no heating on, it turns out she gets picked up in the morning and goes to a village hall where she stays all day in the warm and has a hot meal etc , before she goes in the morning she turns all the heating of as she is worried about the cost so when they bring her home at 5pm the house is icy cold, my friend has insisted she stays with her tonight , I wonder how many other elderly people are doing the same thing !

The shares still have a value which cannot be ignored. No government would ever get away with taking ownership without compensation.

I think they've made enough in dividends and handsome payouts over far too long.

Or as I would describe it, they’ve ripped the arse out of it.

There is a way. Just keep fining them more and higher until they go bankrupt. Job done 😂

That might work but I'd be worried they will just charge us more and more to pay it. I don't know if there are rules to stop that but I hope there are.
