Electricity up...rationale down.

"The prices were "a direct consequence of hot weather and high demand", it said."

They have obviously forgotten we had freakish heat this summer and to stay well and alive people needed to use electricity for fans and air conditoners. We are still expected to work. The heat was causing damage and harm, it was distressing people and they were still expected to carry on as normal. To get a hit pocket hit after trying to manage that lot will now mean people will further suffer. Not everyone. Electricity is for those who can afford it. It is obscene. No one should be so hot  they are distressed nor so cold and hungry because they cannot affort heat . It's obscene. It's a utility not a money making fund.
