Britons foot the bill to keep power prices down in France and Germany
FOREIGN electricity companies are exploiting British households in order to protect their own country folk from rising prices.
Electricity bills in Britain have increased EIGHT times faster than in other major European countries because here our electricity is provided by the foreign firms who control our power supplies.
Electricity unit prices in Britain have risen by 15% in the 12 months to October 2008 whilst in France electricity bills have risen by just 5.5% over the same period - and that’s despite the fact that many British and French households are receiving their power from the same supplier, EDF.
A clue as to why might lie in what ‘EDF’ stands for - Electricite de France!
In Germany, households have paid just 1.7% more over the last year for electricity sold them by German firm RWE. Now that’s just one-eighth of the price rise the same German firm has demanded from of British families receiving their supplies from Npower, the British arm of RWE.
It is quite natural for French and German companies to want to put the welfare of their own people first, and in France there’s the additional safeguard of the Government regulating the prices that electricity companies can charge the French people.
What a contrast to here in Britain, where successive Labour and Tory Governments have stood by and allowed foreign firms to come here and exploit the British people, by aiding and abetting the privatisation of our power industry and its sell-off to companies overseas.
The British National Party believes that electricity, as well as gas, water, railways and other essential utilities and infrastructure should be taken back under the control of the British people. These services should be run solely for the welfare of British people and not for private profit or to keep energy prices low prices in France and Germany.

Everybody has heard the term Rip Off Britain, this is another blatant example of it.
Just another sad example of mis management by those currently in power.
We rightly castigate the EU and demand British withdrawal.
But this is a fine illustration that the biggest menace, the greatest traitors, are here amongst us - namely the Liblabcon City financial dictatorship that sold the family silver in the first place.
To all liblabconners I would echo the words of Harry S Truman who once observed “How many times do you have to be hit over the head before you work out who is hitting you?”.
We see here that even within the EU’s grip the French and Germans can pursue a nationalist economic policy to a quite considerable extent. Liblabcon won’t protect our people because they don’t want to - they don’t recognise the term “our” people. It’s a kind of heresy in their eyes
The Sub Prime Minister has determined upon a “new world order”, a “truly global society”.
And what that means is that our people will shiver, freeze, go hungry, lose their jobs, fall victims to crime, get kicked out of their homes, go to the back of the council house queue.
We all know this is true.
Rip-Off Britain, Third World Britain. Stripped of everything by the Traitors who would sell their very souls for a “Fast Buck”. BUT the time is coming for them to pay for all this. When the BNP is elected to run OUR country!
I think tthat there might be a few hundred thousand people more reading the BNP page today, already the most popular political website in Britain.
My message to them is that they have the opportunity to shake off the shackles of their enslavement and get rid of the Communists, the Globalists and all the other ills that are doing their damndest to destroy our people and our country.
Simply voting BNP - its as easy as that - job done. 12,000 policemen, soldiers, lawyers, judges, nurses, teachers, farmers, haulage contractors, airline pilots, doctors and dentists and all manor of professionals and countless thousand members forced to join the communist trade unions can not be wrong. We the ordinary people of this country have been lied to and cheated on an industrial scale. We are not even allowed to complain without being called names by vermin not fit to lick our boots.
Let’s take our country back. Let’s decide our own future. Let’s steer our own ship. We don’t need foreign companies to run our infrastructure and rip us off. It was not so long ago we were the envy of the world. Today we are a third world slum and we the indigenous people are being forced to pay for our own destruction.
When are our leaders going to stop running? The only bugle call we hear
is the Retreat.
I can’t see the BNP in power, for the foreseeable future, but it seems
to be forming a phalanx that will stand and fight, as those stood while
their Belgian ‘comrades’ ran past them - on the way out
of Waterloo.
History didn’t stop there: we can read how badly our soldiers were
treated by The System when they arrived home. There is always
another battle, and I don’t imagine history will stop when the BNP
is elected to government.
The vitally important thing is to be vigilant: to know as well as possible
what our leaders are up to, and to ask ‘in whose interests’? Is this law
good for me and my family, good for my country?
When we hear that Visas are being issued without thought - ask ‘in whose
interests’? Mine? My country’s?
I have no shame in putting my
country first. Shame on our leaders who fail in this.
One of the main problems is centrica (British Gas) are always first to increase the price, the foreigners are just following their lead.
10 years ago there were 15-20 different companies you could buy your energy from, now theres only 6, and with RWE looking to take over Southern & Scottish that’ll drop to 5!
This goes against everything this market was set up for!
Don’t tell me there’s not some form of price fixing going on!
PS. The banking sector - another essential utility - is going the same way!
Were not called Treasure Island for nothing, the government won’t stand up and defend it’s people from the sharks who want to rip us of, whether it’s energy suppliers,mobile fone networks, supermarkets, banks the list is endless, the government just gets in the queue to rip us off to.
It always has been a rip off country, I once sat next to an American in a west end of London Restaurant. He said I do not know how you people can afford to live. Goods from USA are double the price, cars in Europe are cheaper, as regards council tax what one pays in Europe is a fraction of the UK, and so it goes on. 1 in 4 people now work for the state with salary’s way above the private sector, gilt edged pensions and early retirement. A welfare state overload, public borrowing out of control. What is happening is a recipe for financial collapse. And Mcbroon is hailed as a financial wiz.. Just shows the inmates are running the asylum.
Well…you can thank Mrs. Thatcher for that one folks. ‘Twas she who first started the ball rolling in the early 1980s by selling off the state utilities into private hands.
Not a single British Government of the past 40 years has acted in the pure interests of the public.
Quite right too! Why should our elderly have heated homes…AND warm food on their tables? This might still be the fourth richest country in the world….MP Phil Woolas the other day…but we have to fight all sorts of foreign wars and send £billions to the third world. Countries such as Pakistan and India, China too, all three nuclear armed states.
We can’t afford to help our senior citizens, can we?
Thanks to the Tories and now the Labour buffoons, Britain has to almost totally rely on other nations for her energy. What’s even worse, is that much of our needs are from corrupt/ and/or unstable nations, sheer madness which begs belief how any Government minister will double digit IQ could have allowed this to happen.
Third world here we come…….
It is a national scandal that we cannot provide our own electricity in our own country. Decades of mismanagement and poor planning. Perfectly good power stations and infrastructure closed down, and sold to China. Madness, complete madness.
In that case, Despairing Dan, why does your gravatar look so cheerful !?
bernard: In that case, Despairing Dan, why does your gravatar look so cheerful !?
Because Dan knows something to be cheerful about ;o)
The British are literally used as cash dispensers by Labour affiliated utility companies who are driven first by profit, then greed.
Service and value for money are alien concepts to these Energy giants. As many have pointed out here we are headed in entirely the wrong direction - we should aim to create 90% of our own energy needs before relying on imports.
See the Peak Oil section on the BNP site to find out a lot more about British energy alternatives.
I can’t help but think that there might be something in the BNP Policy of reducing the population, Indigenous British women have 1.8 children which is below replacement levels, surely if we had not had such a huge, genocidal policies of mass immigration, then we would not have used up our oil reserves as much,.
Not have problems with landfill, road congestion, have to import so much food, not had so much CO2 emmisions, rising crime, housing shortages, welfare overstrech……
But then what does Nick Griffin know compared to the Towering intellects we have in Westminster.
Vote Lib Lab Con, you know their polices make perfect logical sense.
It seems to me that only Britain has this mindnumbing attitude to nationalist policies which do nothing more than enshrine the self-evident age-old wisdom that charity begins at home. Obviously, when we have sorted out our own problems, we will be the first to look beyond our own interests and try to help others who need and want our aid - we always have. But for the last three or four decades we have had our inborn generosity used against us and been marshalled into the penfolds marked for shearing or slaughter.
Countries like France and Germany look to their own interests first, Italy and Spain get round the human rights aspects of repatriation, voluntary or not. Other countries like Austria have 30% nationalist voters while Britain is still rather far down on the list. I hope this outing of our members will reveal the true sociographic nature of the BNP and will encourage normal everyday voters not to be afraid of the bogeyman - he doesn’t exist. Stop sucking your thumbs and put your cross in the right box - the BNP box.
Asylum seekers do not pay for gas and electricity supplies to the free furnished accommodation our government has housed them in. The asylum seekers heat and light the accommodation completely free of charge to them. The British taxpayer pays their heating and lighting bills. Asylum seekers can heat their houses 24 hours a day whilst some of the indigenous will have to choose, eat or heat.
Don’t believe me? Check up with your area MP.
I can’t access the figures for those who have died / will die from hypothermia but the deaths of those who succumb to death from lack of heat / nutrition will pass unreported by the media.
If one wee asylum seeker died from hypothermia (no chance of that) all hell would break loose.
