    I live alone too and no one to help me out.

    My family live miles away.

    I worry constantly about the up and coming announcement about benefit reforms.

    Its just relentless all the stress and anxiety it causes us.

    This is what I don't understand. I too find it a balancing act re budgeting, and yet another thread they are saying they have more money than they know what to do with?

    It's horrible. The rich people of Great Britain are the greediest in the world, it seems - there is not a single country with such or a colder climate, where the poor and disabled are literally freezing at home NOW.
    Wholesale gas and oil cost the same for everyone, but in the UK it is sold to households like gold!

    I'm. Been bombarded from British gas to have a smart meter installed

    Don't want one

    I can't afford to pay my British gas debt

    If they hadn't been greedy And put up the prices then nobody would be in debt

    We need more taxes on the rich and on corporations, not on the poor.

    Just out of curiosity, why are you guys so against a smart meter? I love having mine, before, the anxiety of having no idea how much energy I'm consuming, and no idea what the costs will be, and then having to go to shop to top it up when I was unable to, was an absolute nightmare!!

    Also, it's not just about taxing the rich, coz 1, if u tax them too much, they can just up and leave or get offsure accounts (like they do anyway!!!) It's only fair they pay the same %age of tax. But what disgusts me is the moral compass and attitude of people that do have money. Personally, if I had too much money that I didn't know what to do with, id use it to benefit those in need. People should want to help, not be forced to by law 😵‍💫

    I heard smart meters break a lot and give false readings
