Councillors urge Government to tackle fuel poverty 'scandal'

“This is from the BNP website: http://tinyurl.com/buwpuzl

"The old parties don't really care about older people. Their negligence leads to the preventable deaths of many.

They have failed to provide British pensioners with the benefits they need to heat their homes properly and survive harsh winters.

To make matters worse, while renegade energy companies are increasing their prices, the ConDem Government cuts have put the squeeze on low income families and pensioners.

And to go from the incompetent to the downright scandalous, Labour councils across the country have made it their priority to put asylum seekers before vulnerable British people every time.

Last year, Salford BNP, in a high profile exposé, revealed the scandal of the local Labour council giving large sums of money to asylum seekers in the area at the expense of the taxpayer and freezing pensioners.

It was revealed that the Labour run council was throwing asylum seekers £210 PER MONTH just for their fuel bills, while local pensioners received a mere £200 PER WINTER!

This scandal is repeated across the country.

When cornered, a Labour spokesman pleaded that because asylum seekers come from hot countries, they needed to heat their homes more than British people!

We aren't PC. We aren't afraid to draw out the link between giving handouts to asylum seekers and immigrants and paying our pensioners a pittance.

And the problem is set to get worse!

Successive Conservative and Labour governments have sold all British assets to the highest international bidder.

Privatisation of all our energy resources and companies means that energy companies are in it only for the profit.

The LibLabCon have sold off our assets and sacrificed any social agenda these essential services might once have had.

With the privatisation of energy companies, comes the greed of fat cat bosses. Energy costs are constantly on the rise, while work salaries and pensions suffer cuts or negligible increases in real terms."

Again you repeat the £800 Billion spent abroad claim. It is impossible for a government with a budget of £600 billion or so to achieve this. Unless you know something we don't.

Again, you are a moron. A massive moron.”

“I must be TOO intelligent for you lot on here as you don't appear to understand simple physics !!!! especially der and that other name !!!”

“Der !! As I have stated previously DER by nature DER by name --- Der !!!
You may read the BNP writings but I CERTAINLY don't !!!!”

“johnvcusick - you have copied your comment straight from a piece written by Nick Griffin, leader of the BNP. You have removed all mention of the BNP and instead added the letters UKIP.

You are a moron.”

“Samsalt. C02 can be burnt at the right temperature and emitted as a harmless smoke out of the chimney !”

“by johnvcusick: I don't understand your statement, "CO2 is recycled from the exhaust gases, and "re-burnt" by getting channelled into the boilers." CO2 is an extinguisher agent?

Perhaps Chris Shaw should research the 13 years of Labour dithering over conventional power plant aging and a complete lack of investment in NNB. In fact the last Labour government dismantled the UK's ability to self build any new nuclear plant. To compound matters Labour embarked on the most costly method known to man to generate electricity. Not only is wind power foolhardy in it's self, Labour stupidly offered subsidies to all renewables at a staggering rate guaranteed to cause fuel poverty.

Cannot Chris Shaw connect fuel poverty to the fact that wind power costs in the order of ten times as much to generate as thermal plant. They saw him coming when in spite of the massive subsidies and stealth taxes associated with renewables (the real and only reason Dong and others are coming), he committed council tax payers money to enlarge the lock gates.

It can be put quite simply: Labour initiated the renewable scam, and the present government perpetuates it! In the history of the UK there has never been subsidies on such a scale, sadly the NELC now See's fit to use our money to subsidise the already subsidised industry.”

“There is a lot of common sense on this page in the frm of comments.
I dispare that our government will not listen and it is only through their owngreed that they don't.
Coal fired power stations are very clean today as the CO2 is recycled from the exhaust gases, and re-burnt by getting channelled into the boilers. I know I have worked on the systems.
This would increase construction jobs, hopefully only for the British, and re-open the mines creating jobs for our British miners again.
I would much rather our tax money was spent this way, instead of up to £800 billion spent abroad every year with the only return we see is terrorists.

The electricity produced could then be sold at 75% of what these foreign utility companies charge us for the power.
This in turn would force down prices and bankrupt the foreign power companies.
The government could then buy the companies back for a pound. = Job done and many lives saved through cheap affordable heating for our homes.

The 3 big parties don't really care about British people.

The only answer is UKIP”

“Until the three main players Gas.Electricity and water are back under common ownership.The moaning will remain for ever.”

“Well Calypso you are probably right. When the insanity of the EU policies and the ineptitude of our home grown politicians have driven us into the arms of a Fascist government and blood is running down the streets, then and only then will the politicians wake up. When even the Germans, whose dream of European domination looked within their grasp, find the chalice is poisoned then we should start firing up the cement mixers to fill in the tunnel. When the countries who embraced the idea of a United States of Europe find their economies in ashes and their whole being in hock to the European bankers they can only hate "the system". The dislike of other countries that is a part of European history is turning to outright hatred as we can all see in our National press and it will all end in tears. The bonanza of British oil and gas has been frittered away on wars, overseas aid and paying people to sit on their butts and breed (not at the same time of course). The wealth that has been poured down the drain instead of turning our country into a 21st century showpiece is staggering. Now we find that we are on a suicidal slide into an energy deficit that will bring ruin and death. When I read that our largest power station is to cease burning coal, much of which is mined in Yorkshire and to be converted, at a cost of many millions of pounds, to burning wood chips brought in from 4,500 miles away - I despair, I really do !”

They're all as bad. Labour got us in to it, and the Tories haven't a clue how to get us out of it.

They're all useless.

When I look around the world and I see the apalling mess politicians, bankers, bureaucrats, Big Business and the damn stupid dumbed-down media have got us into, I can't see one single reason why each and every one of them shouldn't be dragged from their warm and comfy beds and shot!

Can you?”
