Meanwhile there are...
People who haven't had breakfast and/or lunch TODAY, because they can't afford it.
People using FoodBanks because food is becoming more of a luxury than a necessity.
Children celebrating a birthday without presents.
Parents worrying about new school uniforms - and some schools enforcing rules which are not cost-effective.
People who can't get to work because they can't afford to put petrol in their cars/pay for public transport anymore.
People who are working so much they're making themselves ill, and they STILL CAN'T AFFORD to pay their bills.
People who have been given fines by these same energy/water companies because they couldn't afford to pay their bills in the first place - increasing their debt.
Customers being told to do STAR JUMPS TO KEEP WARM for crying out loud!
Hose pipe bans when gallons of water leak away everyday.
Elderly people NOT DRINKING because they're worried about running out of water!!![/li][/list]
All this and energy prices are set to rise up to 75% in October...
THIS IS MADNESS!.. I'm all for supporting profits ..I'm not for supporting greed at the cost of lives of others..
Something needs to change..
