Closed Force British Gas & other suppliers to stop the further November 2012 increases when prices and demand are actually down.

Closed on

Once again British Gas & other suppliers are raising prices...this time by a further 8% which basically equates to 32% increase since November 2010.

Quotes in Reuters11/10/2012 state very clearly that their "demand is down" & "prices are down" also & "expected to fall more by the end of the week"...so how can a further increase be applied again...at winter...when it's actually needed by all to be used.

I thought the government were wanting to "Fight Poverty" now they are forcing more families/elderly into it by allowing these greedy companies to do as they wish!
