with a regulated obligation to supply

That is not part of the legislation, it was an integral part of it for around 50
years but since 1990 no one has any obligation to supply electricity to an end
consumer (same story with gas)

Yet another legacy of the evil bitch Thatcher, the slimy little **** Cecil
Parkinson and the retarded ****, later in the pay of Enron, John Wakeham.

It's a 'free' energy market, a shining example of Thatcherism, greed, short
termism and a **** you mentality. The only purpose of the UK customer is to
bend over and take it up the arse without lubricant every quarter and hand over
huge wodges of cash to the foreigners who now own the vast majority of
generating capacity and distribution networks.
