Mr Therm a Square Deal for Energy on Tap

My latest posting to IB Times on a much visited topic of this blog, the natural gas pricing rip-off, is now online and may be read from here.

After writing the comment I thought again of the supply of gas in the old days and turned up some old advertisements which I linked in a couple of tweets yesterday afternoon. One is repeated below, as putting into context just how far removed we now are from a "Square Deal" for our "heat-on-tap". Let me repeat the pledge from the gas manufacturer:

"A THERM of gas is a State-established measure of heat as definite as the pound or yard. The therm is your guarantee of the cheapest heat-on-tap and a square deal all the time"

 Are there any in the country, or indeed across the EU who would now believe such a pledge? Perhaps indeed there are, seeing as how UK voters re-elected the shadiest most pro-EU party of all at the Eastleigh by-election.

I truly despair for my country and its people, well and truly both sold down the river and thrown to the wolves by the complete charlatan politicos clearly now in control charge of all its contending political parties!
