Does Socialism werk sometimes?
« on: September 24, 2015, 05:29:15 PM »
The bastard theiving local council here has set up an energy company. My energy tarriff is due to renew. The "Robin Hood" company is offering me £200 less a year (£10000 for Mr Darwin, sir). They are "not for profit".  I have switched. E ON bastards (thieves) are cross about it. Good.

Could COrbyn be right?  rubschin:

They claim they're "not for profit" because, without taxpayers money, they would make a loss.

Pure democracy and pure communism are the same thing.

We do not live in a "pure democracy".

Very basic politics I admit.

So they don't actually generate any power - they just buy in bulk and knock it out cheap like...?

What could possibly go wrong...?  rubschin:

I suppose the only downside is that once mongs like you tell everybody about it and they all switch, the people that ackchewlee generate the stuff will put the price up as all their profitable customers have moved...?  whistle:
