We think owners of water/gas/electric/internet and fuel company make record profits whilst consumers pay increasingly high bills. We call on the Government to cap profits to 20% of the cost value of such products. In our view, profits should be kept to a minimum for such modern day essentials.

We believe water, Gas, Electric, Internet and Fuels are an absolute must in a modern world and the current profiteering in these industries is killing the spirit of the people, and that operating costs are spiralling out of control. Considering such industries are consistently reporting ridiculous profit margins year on year, we think there is obviously a spiralling problem with the costing and value of such services. In our view people need confidence in their government and ultimately, their providers of security and services. Every day essentials should always be cheap and easy to access, no one should struggle to keep a bare necessity going in the modern world. It's actually worrying to see the path that we have taken.
