Yes it sucks. And it's stupid as well since the UK is now considering keeping power stations because now all of a sudden we need them, yet they already tore down a lot of them. And then there's supposed to be help coming to give us more money to pay off the bills. So the government is forcing us to pay more and will also be helping us to help pay them off as well, as no doubt people will try to get benefits to help pay.

It's all down to the government's mismanagement of practical everything. They'll blame everything thing under the Sun before never ameting to their failures. Hell, millions of pounds given to the Scottish government, by Westminster, that was meant to help small businesses and help with the increase of the national insurance has disappear. |

When it comes to the UK Government, a class of kindergarten kids can act more mature and behaved, and are more innocent and honest too. The system is beyond a joke. They'll let the country go to hell and back before they actually do anything worthwhile.

This is all Corporate Greed. Must of them had records profits last year, so costs went up. As my dad would say, pure fecking greed. I'm watching what I'm spending, cut back on alot of things. If there's a blu-ray or a book I'm wanting, I'm waiting until a sale or a con. Cut right back on going out to eat. Limited myself to places that are under Β£15. Speaking of food, this Saturday past I was at the local Tesco and noticed that the cost of cereal has went up to two to three pounds. It's not a lot, but still. |

This is why I'm mostly getting stuff I want from flea markets/exchange stores. I can get stuff cheap on flea markets and some items I can trade in the exchange stores for way more money to spend on what I want. Right now I'm mostly just trying to complete my old Gameboy collection that had gotten sold in the past without my permission.

Yeah I talked to people about this recently. Even my aunt. It's ridiculous. You can't bring a child to this world. Paying for yourself is expensive enough as it is.

Looks like a few jobs are giving employees a 1500 stipend this month.

Seems like the rising cost of gas is purely to convert people to using electric cars which are fucking awful and are not worthwhile. They don't last long and you spend more time charging it than actually driving it. Hybrids are better, but pure electric cars suck more than just ass.

Self charging hybrid car is the best option currently. Or simply walk or get a taxi or a train. Probably works out cheaper anyway.

I have a garage for mine so it's secure. Not everyone will have that luxury however.

Okay, this shit is starting to get ridiculous. Insurance companies are starting to move out of my state. So people here are at risk of moving out.

Oil/Gas companies have had massive profits from the price of gas increasing. I think they did it on purpose to try and recover from losses they had from spending elsewhere (vaccines for example).

The Royal Mail is going on strike too, protesting 700 job cuts. Feels like we're went right back to 70s with gas crisis, strikes, the return of the cold war and raising cost of pretty much every thing.
