Jack Frost and his Friends
Sunday, March 12th, 2006Friends and Readers, as you look out of your window this morning the snow is falling and looks likely to stay for a little while. So of course you will turn to your fires and  thermostats to heat up your home. Well by now you will have had your fuel bills and the glee on the faces of the utility companies will be hard to hide. They will take delight in telling you that due to circumstances beyond their control prices will have to rise, and you will have to pay.
We could go into the story of how succesive governments squandered the resources of the north sea but we wont, it is to sad a tale and would depress you. But we will tell you that the United Kingdom is a very rich country yet we have citzens who are frightened to turn the heating on in case they cannot afford to pay it, and who in the main are we talking about?  of course you already know poor working class people the very people whose backs this country was built on, and who now are feeling the brunt of their toil.
What a farce gutless politicians doing nothing but cheap talk they can afford to heat their homes, they do not worry about having to turn the themostat up oh no they just do it. What do we elect them for if they are going to do nothing but talk what are they frightened of, surely not of the utility companies,those greedy creatures who like bullys thrive on fear but will recoil if taken on face to face.
We do not want crap schemes that are a bureurocratic nightmare, the citizens want to be protected against these profiteering crooks, who would comfortably sit back and watch the weakest die through cold and fear. They would blame the government as they always do, so take them on have some back bone deliver for the people, do not just sit back in your comfortable homes well heated against the outside elements, force them to cap their prices do not give us dum excuses for doing nothing while the people suffer.
How many more winter deaths do we have to witness before the message gets home. So as you look out of your windows Mr. Chisholm and Mr. Lazarowicz spare a thought for those less fortunate than yourselves and urge your colleagues to stand up for the people they are so keen to represent and take these parisites on, people might just have a little more respect for you. Do not hide away and dodge the issue we know you are good at that, do something positive for the punters fight their corner-come on you know you can do it.
