Watch: Scots burn energy bills in protest at rising power costs

Household energy bill debt, which has already doubled in the space of a month, is expected to rise further during the winter.

Next week, September 1st will mark the first day of spring in New Zealand, and thenceforth daily temperatures will rise as the country moves towards summer.

UK residents however, have a bleak winter to look forward to, made worse by the rising cost of heating. DTNZ reported on August 22 that Britain was facing a ‘humanitarian crisis’ during the winter due to cold homes.

In response there is a growing number of Brits who a simply refusing to pay their energy bills.

A recent street protest in Glasgow Scotland provided one example of the unrest, as Scots put their ‘Bills in the Bin’.

  1. Go After Yanks (GAY) econoimics in action. Europe remains “the third world of the western world economies.” Forbes

    Jabcinda is also following the GAY economics. So we are also becoming a thirs world economy; what is saving us is China exports but there are too many sinaphobes & russophobes in NZ (thanks to MSM and agents like Patman of Otago).

  2. You know you are living in an oligarchy when Mark Zuckerberg has more political influence over your country than any elected official. Democracy is an illusion. Those who live under the US empire are a propagandized and politically impotent population who only think they are free because they’ve been given the illusion of freedom, and less and less effort is being made to sustain that illusion.

    We are ruled by unelected sociopaths who have no wisdom, no compassion, and no intention of ever relinquishing their rule. This will continue unless and until enough of us wake up to what’s going on to stop them.
