I would definitely visit this circus!

Imagine the insane tricks you can let a holographic elephant do, stand on its trunk whilst juggling skippy balls on his feet. Accompanied by a pack of zebras in unicycles playing various musical instruments. And then a lion comes and sings the national anthem of the country the circus is in at that moment.

Google it and you'll find a number of sources from the end of last year that says that the UK was paying the highest electricity prices in the world. Whether that's still the case, I don't know.

Might be better to take it up with them as I'm sure they have sources for their assertions..

Eg.. Cityam Walesonline Nationalworld Yahoo Etc etc..

So just for clarity. It was reported that we did. I'm just passing it on.

Whilst I agree brexit was a f-ing stupid idea and voted remain, our wise overlords were pushing through new gas exploration (also f-ing stupid idea) because we had a bumper sales day selling gas to the EU at high prices. Once Holland and Germany's storage facilities were full, prices dropped... Except they didn't in the UK.

We also have no nationalised energy companies so we can't dictate the price that is reasonable to pay. We get the price dictated to us. We've basically become hostage to neoliberalist capitalism - let's play "who can run a country into ground the quickest!"
