It is understood at least one major charity with shops on the High Street is unknowingly paying commissions of up to £1m a year

How can anyone honestly claim the energy industry isn't a morally bankrupt one?

Has anybody claimed the energy industry isn't morally bankrupt?

And isn't the headline rather misleading? Surely the article is actually about brokers?

So 1cs, when did you stop beating your wife?

See - others can play with words too.
Your (oft repeated) question is dripping with the implication that not only has someone said this, but even that many people have and repeatedly do. A common tabloid tactic.

And of course the deduction is that although they are paying 20-30% more than a fair price they are still paying *less* than theaverage consumer - otherwise they would not be using a broker to get a 'better' deal.
The conclusion is we are paying an extortion price, and we can all see that in our bills.

the first price hike will put us right back to square 1

Well no. All it suggests is that brokers make businesses think they're going to get a better deal than standard business rates.

What an extraordinary leap of logic. How does any information in the article from the Mail support that conclusion?
