The Obscenity Of Profit
Fuel prices are at an all-time high in Britain. Many people can no longer afford to use their car for anything but essential travel. Prices are going up in the supermarkets, all blamed on fuel price increases. This coming winter, domestic heating and electricity costs are set to rise to at least one third of the income of people on ‘average salaries’.
This has all been blamed on the war in Ukraine.
Yet that is a blatant lie. A con-trick foisted on the people of this country by the Conservative government, and their rich friends in big business.
The truth is quite simple.
They are milking the poor to feed the rich, and to make them even richer.
The proof is out there, and broadcast on the news media.
‘Energy firm BP has announced profits of almost £7-billion for the second quarter of 2022.’
BP CEO – Bernard Looney is getting an £11.7m bonus during a time 90% of the population is struggling to survive.
So why didn’t the war in Ukraine affect BP profits and the bonus of the CEO?
BECAUSE IT WAS A LIE.
A some point there will be nothing left, the bottom of the barrel will be dry. Then the corrupt system will implode as it will cannibalise itself.

Something needs to change, or we will be back to the values of the Victorian Era.

I could take over the country, and tell everyone the truth. But would they want to hear it, I wonder?

Profit is king in this country. Money first and everything else second. Even when we are bled dry they will want more.

We get handed all sorts of excuses for our problems – none make ANY sense! Now our gas prices have dropped a little bit, but food is still shooting up!

The profits of the oil companies, electricity suppliers and gas suppliers are literally obscene, GP. As I already knew we only imported around 2% of our annual fuel requirements from Russia, it was a blatant lie to me from the start.
Best wishes, Pete.
