Energy Prices
This Energy price free for all started with that Nasty Lady Thatcher ,way back in the 1970s. An academic Dr Stephen Littlechild came up with the idea of free market in electricity. Thatcher introduced this madness on the advice of her energy Secretary John Wakeham.,,,, Littlechild was made regulator for the new energy market by Thatcher , and ended up the board of an Enron subsidiary , while Wakeham was elevated to to the Lords and he was on the Enron Board. And of course Enron collapsed in 2001 due to ......."Fraud And Corruption".,,, And all these years later its still hurting.

can someone tell Jonathan Swift that his offspring is making a complete ass of himself - for his info, I worked for over 25 years in oil marketing, trading and research, so I do have some semblance of how the market works - and countries where utilities or oil markets are run by government usually have pretty shambolic organisations with little customer service and safety often compromised.
