Glad you've calmed down. I'm in no way go to even attempt to give credence to that pratt. I'm not trying to justify brexit, only offering a suggestion of something that I think is better as a result. It was just an observation. I'd been interested in this since I came across a demo at Shoreham...

When we left the EU, we were able to introduce a law in May this year that banned the...

It's imaginative thinking like this that we need more of. It would not be a tax and those paying more would know exactly what they were paying more for. That would be very difficult to argue against going on the evidence of this thread. You could see that as a social responsibility/obligation...
Damn you! I think that's a very sensible idea, just like the internet packages for OAPs and other groups. It would also be easy to do as it would be the suppliers problem to regulate the new tarrif. If it came with insulation and energy efficiency updates that would be even better. We already...
Want to put any numbers to this or is it just better as a meaningless slogan? The reality is a small number of (whatever you define extremely wealthy) people who may get WFA,
There's an even huger number of extremely poor people who will now get nothing.
