Snake oil!



Quite.

Ere, harry, I heard about a similar scam where 'some people' pay good
money to put solar panels on their roofs (possibly blighting their
houses and buying into obsolete technology) that *only* provides
energy when (and you will like this bit), during the sunny days (and
not at all at night) and very little when the sun isn't shining hard
or during the winter etc. However, in spite of that massive 'issue'.
you get other people (who have no choice in the matter) to *pay you*
for the energy your create, even if you use it yourself! Yeah, you
heard it right!

And get this, it's index linked and guaranteed for 20 years or so!

But I wonder what sort of person would stoop as low as to impose that
on anyone else eh, not anyone with a functioning moral compass that's
for sure! I best it's the same people who push in at the last second
on merging traffic or leave just as it's their round down the pub. ;-(

Oh, and I nearly forgot ... not only do those same 'people' (and this
really takes some believing) want to earn money off the rest of us for
their 'snake oil' scam, they *also* expect us to carry on powering
*them* when their panels aren't working (so that's at least 1/3 of
every year!).

You really couldn't make it up could you!!!

I hear there's free passes for buses which not everybody uses/gets.


Oh dear, no wonder you are confused and morally bankrupt mate. ;-(

See, no one has any issues with someone recouping the 'perks' of
paying say their tax or NI for many many years and getting a benefit
from that to help them out (be it old age or disability related). The
*difference* with your bogus FIT theft is that not everyone pays
towards it and few then get *paid* from it. The equivalent would be
getting a buss pass, using it *and* getting paid to hire it out.

You are no different to those who are given council houses then sub
let them for a *profit*. Not even the same as them not living in it
themselves but letting some family members use it instead (at no cost
or no profit).

Oh and schools which everybody has to pay for.


Because they also benefit *society*. How else are they going to get
people into jobs to be able to earn money to be able to buy
electricity to be able to fund *your* little personal (non shared, non
'social') cash cow?

And an NHS. And child/unemployment benefit.


See above.

Not everybody's as thick as you.


Oh dear, caught a raw nerve have I harry? A tiny pang of guilt shining
though that pot of cash you are earning from some of us whilst
creating more pollution and not resolving any real energy supply
issues as you do so?
