Power bills soar - Drax investors get £326m

... a class struggle anarchist ...

Capitalist owners, directors and shareholders don't you just hate them? - claiming ownership of the earth's resources, selling it back to us at ever higher prices, and destroying the planet to boot. Expropriate the lot of them I say. Destroy the economy. Get rid of money. Revolution! Grrr. Utopia is just around the corner if we act together.

...amalgamating down into one or or only several "choices", lessening the choice of where you go to attain power, thus creating "no choice" in the end, which allows the corporations to increase the prices to whatever the hell they want, under the attitude of "Yeah, what you gonna do about it?"

Of course, if the Proles do get too aggitated just cook up some crisis story - running out of gas, petrol, coal, water - and increase the price accordingly, the Enwrong way of business.

Create the crisis to increase the prices.

Or Thames Water, where this year they created more profit by not fixing leaks, paying the OffWat fine, and then increased water bills becasue there was a water shortage - a water shortage partially created because there were so many damn leaks in the undermaintained pipes.

Clever. £346m profit, £140m fine, end of year tax profits £206.

Just wait till there are no other options than Oyster cards on the London Underground and watch the prices sky-rocket, all the way to the shareholders off-shore bank accounts. The average bod, got work, got travel card to get to work and back...oh, got no money for food, or bills...damn.

Who does the University and the "Union" plan on "giving" my home to after I put my work and care into it?

Your whore, Dan?

For the mechanically minded one way off the grid is to learn how to build your own electricity generation. For example, Hugh Piggot was commissioned to design a wind turbine for use in international development work by the Intermediate Technology Development Group. The plans are downloadable from the internet at his website: www.scoraigwind.co.uk.

A Hugh Piggot wind turbine provided a lot of the energy for the Climate Camp itself. It is probably not a solution for those who live in the centre of British cities, but for others it makes a lot of sense.

whatever way you choose to tackle centralised power and the resultant climate catastrophe keep the faith.

Reclaim Power!

Nice to see the ES on the ball though this was reported in other papers ( including the increasingly neoliberal Grauniad ) and on the web in May!

As another unfortunate on a key meter it noticed at the time that they had also sold a substantial ammount of next years electric output to the greedy Centrica ( tell Sid if he's got shares I'm going to mug him the theiving bastard! ) who were getting some record profits.

It still need reiterating about Drax suing the EU for ( along with 4 other UK power companies ) 20 million tonnes of carbon credits. Now does that figure sound familiar? Yep, Drax 'adding value' to the carbon pool in terms of 20m tonnes of emissions. These emissions can be of course offset by some dodgy colonialist tree/dam/smelting etc etc. programme.

A good way to find out what is going on is to visit the business library and check trade journals ( they like to boast to each other ) or just the business pages/papers in general and join the dots.

It is a shame people in this country cannot get off their arses and still are job obsessed whatever the cost. We are unsustainable and are merely a means of legitimising the Square Mile Robbers still practising colonial war and theft. Smashing up Upper Thames Street, brickin up the traders - next time shut the whole lot down and maybe we could start getting somewhere ( though land and food needs to be sorted if we are goijng to get through this )

What is needed is a combination of permaculture and insurrection. cannot have one without the other as we depend on the status quo as having had our land taken from us through invasions and legislation. it makes me laugh that on Diggers day that you have banners waving from the Orwellian/Cromwellian Labour party ( resources war, arms trade, fat union bosses licking IMF/WB/WTO lover GB's arse ( don't let the spin of arguments fool you ) / dodgy employment statistics, police state ).

That is what we get from a minority pushing their elected representatives and ( don't forget your bent councillors also ) - I will elaborate on this but my point is anyone voting for these bastards or support them in any way you are guilty - It's a mandate for bombing children anyone - if you voted for these fuckers then you may as well have pulled the trigger/dropped the cluster bomb yourself. reform Labour - you're avin a laff. i

If you want a union perhaps you should form your own IWW and fuck the other bastards who give moiney to these cunts. ( The RMT ain't too bad though - though i could never be as lucky as to get a job on the railways or affored to use their trains!!!!!!) Jobs vs climate change and resources war/ posatmodern colonialism. englan is still a bitch. Rant over.
