Possibly, but most sensible people would rather that than it being used on tax cuts for companies with £Billions in profits, and Execs on £5 million plus a year. All The Best It doesn't matter what the serving government is the energy companies are a law unto themselves, NOTHING or NO ONE will get in the way of the excessive profits, salaries and bonuses, the shareholders come first, and this government and previous governments including Labour will NEVER EVER be able to touch them. Quite right. Us shareholders come first.  |

If you have a private pension it is quite likely that you are also a shareholder, albeit indirectly, and your pension at least in part derives from company profits.
People should perhaps bear that in mind before potentially arguing against their own interests.

I know what you mean, but pension pots are only as honest as the people running them.
The disgraced entrepreneur Dominic Chappell has been ordered to pay £9.5m into BHS pension schemes after his appeal failed. Chappell, a former bankrupt with no retail experience, bought the chain from billionaire Sir Philip Green for £1 in 2015. But it crashed 13 months later, leaving a pensions hole of up to £571m.
BHS collapsed with the loss of 11,000 jobs and a gaping pension deficit in 2016. Topshop tycoon Sir Philip later agreed a deal with regulators to hand over £363m - covering a majority of the pension black hole.
The trend these days including energy companies, start up, get as much as you can out of it, then go BUST!!

Well, finally fed up of a certain member thinking his opinion is the only one permitted there. All The Best Translation: PV posted a series of trolling and delusion posts and when someone (not me) challenged him he posted 'Fuck you sock puppet' So despite the multiple requests to ban him permanently I gave him a rest for a week. Translation: Steve has either a Sock-Puppet account, or a Pet-Member who is allegedly the "independent Appeal Moderator". Funny, that never once since the "independent Appeal Moderator" appeared has an appeal against Steve ever been upheld. Steve now has an unofficial rule that appealing his decisions may be considered "vexatious" and could lead to a poster receiving a warning. All The Best |

All The Best He's just a typical example of what happens when you give a lefty a little taste of power, can you imagine if he had any sort of power in the 'real world', we'd be browbeaten in to submission, the only free speech would be what he says is free speech, everything that wasn't on the lefty agenda would be canceled, I do hope you know what your are getting when you get a lefty entitled government, he's a glowing example of what they stand for. |

Troll the threads he has no control over with his beloved? He's just outraged he has no control over censorship on this forum, that's why he's always whinging and whining. |

I don't think it is at all appropriate to put links up to any other forums in that way. If you've got a beef with PV why not send him a PM. We don't want to be subjected to this tripe.
The thread is about Reform UK.
Ex Tory MP Ann Widdecombe says both major parties are useless. It's hard to argue with her.

Yet another By-Election triggered... Blackpool South MP Scott Benton, who lost the Conservative whip after being embroiled in a lobbying scandal, has announced he will quit Parliament rather than wait for the outcome of a recall petition. His resignation, coming before the petition was due to close on April 22, means Prime Minister Rishi Sunak faces another challenging by-election.

Indeed. With a majority of only 3,500 from 2019, I'd expect the Tories to lose that too.
