The boiler must be going like the clappers to keep a house at 25 degrees, the gas bill must get delivered on the back of a low loader Why should the rest of us have to chip in because someone wants to go to Uni and build £40k of debt.

El Cid Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 5 hours ago, HeHasRisen said: Why are people labouring under some kind of misaphrension that all pensioners are skint? 27% of pensioners are millionaires ffs. What about young people who are skint and need to put the heating on, should they get to pay less too? Just in case anyone missed it. "Data the ONS collected between 2016 and 2018 shows that one in five households (22%) in Great Britain, where the main householder (the person responsible for household finances) is over 65, have a household wealth of over a million pounds."

Pension triple lock, warm home discount and the fact that electricity prices are now much lower compared to any time before May 2023 https://tradingeconomics.com/united-kingdom/electricity-price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
