Thief organisation. Effective private company monopoly (as opposed to state monopoly of a few years ago). Blatant profiteering from its most vulnerable customers ie elderly and those not equipped to use computers or the poor in precarious financial situations. British Gas say its because of government green policy (a joke surely - do you believe them?). They may be trying to pick your pocket to claw back the £1 billion drop in profits from last year - so now you'll be safe in the knowledge that you can help those poor shareholders after such a tragedy for them. No new Mercs for them this year - awww....Government too weak to fix this failing private market. Capitalism without a conscience is destroying belief in the free market. Switching is easy through USwitch or Martin Lewis. Do it and help others who struggle.
