So much for Labour's pledge to cut energy bills by £300, says David Turver. Under GB Energy, our bills can only go one way, and that is up.

Any company which helps save civilians lives by blocking terrorist sniper fire should be supported by all. In fact they should be recommended for a humanitarian award for all the lives that have been saved in recent months
did it.
Its not a 'barrier'. Its not a 'fence'. Its a wall. A concrete wall. A permanent concrete wall.
Its purpose is not to 'block' terrorist sniper fire. Its purpose is consolidate stolen land.
Please don't lie...
Please don't steal other people's land....
Its a Fence wrote a comment titled "CRH Make Concrete" and said: "Since the barrier is 93%fence what on earth is the point of hassling CRH?"
Maybe the other 7% is made of concrete which the part-CRH-owned company produces. Do you deny that? How do fence posts stay in holes in the ground? Do they have concrete bases possibly? Concrete which CRH has had a stake in producing. Are there parts of the fence/walll which are all concrete wall and other parts which are fence?
If you're going to tell me not to protest this then you'd better have believable answers to those questions.
Its a Fence then went on to assert: "Any company which helps save civilians lives by blocking terrorist sniper fire should be supported by all."
But what about companies that help to build walls which steal land from people in support of an explicitly apartheid policy which is condemned by all countries except the USA and Israel? Shouldn't they be tried for their part in assisting a regime which is unjust, inhumane and criminal? You should note that many Isrealis are against the Apartheid "Fence" being constructed because they know that it's part of the problem that creates terrorism.
It's 100% concrete, including permanent, deep foundations, etc. That's why it costs $4 million per mile.
Anyone who calls this a 'fence' is either a liar or is ignorant. The $800 million/yr Israeli media-manipulation machine is very, very sophisticated, however calling a wall that can be seen plainly 'a fence' doesn't take much to disprove.
This is a wall, as in 'Berlin Wall'. Its made of the same stuff too. Concrete.
Has no-one anything useful to say about the huge decrease in terror attack in recent weeks due to the effectiveness of the barrier?
last week alone 11 genocide bombers were caught before they could act.
Fences require a concrete foundation so CRH are guilty as charged whether the wall is partly a fence or not. Boycott CRH! Write to their directors whose addresses were published previously on this forum! Picket their AGM. Write to your TDs. If you or anybody you know has a pension or insurance write to the pension company demanding that they divest immediately from CRH unless they pull the plug on the wall. Remember these tactics worked recently for the national womens council who forced BOI to withdraw financing from a porn-publishing company!
Blaming CRH in any way for its "role" in the construction of this wall is ridiculous. I, for the record, am strongly pro-palestinian. What people are talking about here is akin to blaming Austria for Hitler. Israel is responsible for the wall. Full stop.
"Israel is responsible for the wall" CRH is making millions from it. Without the concrete the wall cannot be built and CRH don't make the millions. Simple really
neil of CRH, if you are pro Palestinian, then why not donate some of the money made from providing the concrete to build this wall, towards the Palestinian cause
Perhaps the wealthy Palestinians making the most from the wall could help fund the Palestinian cause too.
