The Energy Price Cap – Should We Tip Ours?

 
The energy markets in the UK, and no doubt other countries, are in turmoil.

Should we be donning our caps to those in charge? Should we bow our heads with respect?

The grand con is on; they say energy prices have been capped.
The energy prices have not been capped, governments have introduced a discount to the consumer; and the real twist in the tail to all this, is that the governments are asking the consumers, or should we say the public, to pay for their own discounts, in the form of taxation.

How crooked can they get?

They tell us that they are doing all they can to shield the people from soaring energy costs; why haven’t they instructed their regulators, to instruct the energy companies that their prices should be capped?
Wholesale prices are not as high as people think, it is the energy companies themselves who have increased their prices; and for some reason, known only to themselves, governments have allowed them to do it.

Now should we take a look at that?
Why would a government allow an energy company, to rob the citizens that the government supposedly works for?
This is becoming farcical.

Governments and Big Business work together, governments are a business; they make profits, they earn money, they gamble, and then expect the people to cover those bets when they lose.
The energy price caps are, in real terms, helping no one; because eventually, all governmental borrowing, ends up back at the feet of the taxpayer.

It looks like a good show, a play we all get to see; but in actual fact, we are watching magicians at work.
‘Abracadabra’, money appears from nowhere, and the poor citizens who look on, think they are witnessing governments acting for them.
Since when did governments act for the people? What have they really done for their citizens?

Every year the cost of living goes up; they tell us inflation is rising, interest rates will have to rise to combat it; they must think everyone is stupid, because they have been allowed to get away with it for so long.

How much longer can a country survive, when its government insists on saddling every citizen in that country, with debts? This is surely democracy gone wrong; or is it merely a business, fighting for its survival?

Can you see between the raindrops?

Can you see what they don’t want you to see?
