Heating is a essential to life, and should be recognised and safe guards in place for those who are vulnerable and or low income households, thats doesn't just include Winter fuel payments because there are people under age who are just as vulnerable and get nothing.

The solution was in the ballot box back in the 1980 /90's. In a democracy the majority prevail

The majority voted Tory & got Mad Margaret, and when they privatised the utilites they deliberately kept the watchdogs they created toothless, 'cos if they had teeth they would bite the capitalist hands and no one would have bought the shares

I do not say i agree with this, but it is fact, and I did buy BT shares at the time, but refused on principal to buy water or electricity shares
