Comment on Energy companies rake in huge profits (but your bill’s still staying high) by FedupwithBeingRippedOffbyUtilitiesCompanies

FedupwithBeingRippedOffbyUtilitiesCompanies — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 11:06:17 +0000

Utility Companies are making huge profits. We are all being execessively overcharged. There needs to be fair pricing. We have a weak Government and they allow Utility Companies to do as they please and turn a blind eye. They start off with giving you a sweetner then the charges go up. This is fine if you are a partner working in the City of London but if you are on a low wage or on Job Seekers, you starve and cannot keep warm. Its impossible to afford these rip-off prices. How many more people will die in their homes before our useless Government does something about these parasites. The Labour Government is the cause of social deprivation in Britain today AS THERE IS NO SENSIBLE PRICE CONTROL. You don’t need to serve a prison term just try to live in rip-off Britain. You will be serving a sentence which can end in death and you will not have committed a crime. My New Year message to Prime Minister Brown is if you can intervene and asssist the McCanns (because they are doctors) then inform the Utility Companies that their PROFITS NEEDS TO BE CUT and NOW. We are sick and tired of the suffering caused by the blood sucking Utility Company Thieves.

Comment on Lord Mayor denied knighthood after backing bankers’ bonuses by Sir David Howard

Sir David Howard — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 21:04:57 +0000

The reference in the article about Lord Mayor Ian Luder to Harold Howard being denied an honour in relation to being Lord Mayor (1954-55) is incorrect. Sir Harold Walter Seymour Howard was created a baronet on 1st December 1955. His son Sir Edward Howard, the 2nd baronet, was Lord Mayor 1971-72. His grandson, Sir David Howard, the 3rd baronet, was Lord Mayor 2000-01. This is me.

Whoever wrote this article has clearly done no check at all. The information is readily accessible in Burke’s, Debretts’s and in things like the Daily Telegraph obituaries.

Comment on Copenhagen’s failure may leave plans for new nuclear power stations high and dry by ab

If people want a green world.
then stop buying Chineese products.

China frustrated the COP top,
now people of the world decide themselves.

No more “made by china” unless approved by a green label.
We make china transparent! That should be done anyway.
Digital democracy of the third millennium: how can you expect your
government to take responsibility if you do not even bother about a green
label ?

You don’t have to wait tille the next top, start yourselves, start today, start small!

Comment on U.S. giant Kraft Foods tries swallowing Cadbury’s for £10bn but is rejected by Richard Cartledge

Richard Cartledge — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 21:16:03 +0000

Cadburys chocolate has gone from great in the 70-80s to mediocre to the truly disgusting chocolate flavoured solidified palm fat we have today. It even smells bad, had bad mouthfeel, a dirty finish and tastes like fake vanillin and hazlenut essence and well, hydrogenated palm fat. It is only 5% cocoa butter now just so they can call it chocolate.

Even supermarket own brands are better.
