This caller is 'disgusted' as energy companies profit while people choose between eating and heating, branding the Government a 'stupid bunch of idiots' for their inaction. ShelaghFogarty
This furious caller denigrated the "stupid bunch of idiots" in Westminster for their inaction over "obscene" energy price hikes.
It claimed the change will help with stability in the energy market and reduce the risk of more suppliers going bust, which would lead to higher costs for customers. "I'd like the Government in that case to tell Ofgem to use the correct price and the average of the prices the large companies have paid for their fuel and not the current price."
Shelagh asked what's stopping the Government from intervening, to which the caller replied: "I think you'll have to ask the electorate that voted in this stupid bunch of idiots." "As a result of Russia's actions, the volatility in the energy markets we experienced last winter has lasted much longer, with much higher prices than ever before. And that means the cost of supplying electricity and gas to homes has increased considerably."
