This is what happens, when you "sell the family silver" or in other words, the utilities of a Country into Private and in this case Foreign ownership!

When we get into Power, ALL these Industrys, should be re-nationalised!

I too hope he has a breakthrough. We are all in the same boat. Ordinary men and women who just happen to be proud of our culture and way of life. We have an enemy within Europe, every bit as vicious
as Hitler and his henchmen. They might not use bullets and bombs but they too seek to subjugate us all
and make us live according to their agenda. They just want us to pay and obey, do what we are told, when we are told. If we dissent or disagree we are insulted and accused of being thugs and racists. Thankfully people are starting to see their respective national identities are being destroyed. It's a hard road we travel but we must not let them win.

You should be a good neighbor and share your excess power with them!

most british people do not know how much the french population have suffered in the last few years from your immigrants.burning cars by the hundreds police attacked and badly injured,mass riots is not worthy of print in the uk.the so called free press are more interested in x factor football or bloody jordons marriage problems,i wish both you and mr le pen a good future (hope our nick becomes our next priminister)

I am French and I find this attitude from EDF disgusting. But make no mistake, the same happens and will happen all over the EU. The first time I heard the phrase "nationalise losses, privatise profits", it was from the mouth of Marine Le Pen (hopefully our next president).

The French and Germany governments have put a cap on how much households can be charged for gas and electricity. Our government has put no cap in place which makes ownership of our energy utilities very attractive to French and Germany companies, because they can charge us so much more, which they do.
The government maintains the war in Afghanistan is to protect the citizens of Britains. You have to ask why it does not protect them in regard to fuel prices, which would be achievable.

You're quite right about the generators. When I had my own house (before I lost my job and it got repossessed) I had a diesel 3 phase generator, it worked a treat running on old cooking oil I got for FREE from the local chippy . Provided more power than I could ever have used and made a few neighbours jealous during several power cuts in the 10 years I lived there. The very same cooking oil was also used to fire an industrial steam-cleaner that I modified and connected to my central heating system.

If anyone wants instructions on how to do the above I'd be happy to give advice.

I wonder why we aren't building our own nuclear power stations…Even our economy has been taken over by foreigners!

Hi EnglishLady,__I'm still having problems with being asked to 'log on' when I already am. It's easier to get new members signed up to our group than it is getting a comment loaded. __Still this site is very addictive and always a good read.__As for the French, I don't blame them, I blame this government, who are ethnically cleansing their own people. Then I suppose we are surplus to their requirements. Dave will just carry on the tradition aswell with some cast iron guarantees. __Looks like we have a good insentive to work extra hard for the next GE, And we will.

Another foreign 'demand' for a bankrupt Britain? How about Britain 'demanding' a Boycot on EDF!

No surprise at all. All OUR industry & assets have already been sold off to foreigners. Often to the LOWEST bidder!

Brysea. HERE HERE, the tax payer is forking out 700 million pounds a year to the railways in subsidies, all utilities, railways should be state owned, instead of profits to share holders and directors.

It's the same with quantitative easing: Why do we have to go into debt to create our own sovereign money? If we didn't go into debt, it would lower the exchange rate and make it more economic to produce in this country! Borrowing money to maintain the rates only beneftis the already rich and the Cartel of International Bankers.

With the lower exchange rate, we could pay Union members a living wage, and the rich elite would have to take one or two less holidays a year.

nuclear power is the way to go.What other choice do we have. we have wind power which will generate around 2% of our requirement, we have solar generators on our roof tops that only work in the short summer,and from what i have read, lose most of there efficiency after about 5 years.Its a complete load of crap.Save the planet! jobs for the boys.when this planet does need saving you will be long gone.

There can never be a true "green" energy supply.It must be a compromise! All those wind farms cause pollution in manufacture,damage the local enviroment and upset locals etc.They are unreliable and need twenty four hour back up,which defeats the object. It was said of catylitic converters in a car exhaust that the toxic polution of the rare metals in production and eventual disposal nulifies any expected gain!Similarly far less people have been damaged by nuclear power compared by oil or coal for a given output period! Now we have the underground reserves of safe coal and gas supply to make this fine country independent once we have got rid of these treacherous scounrels that sold our assets to foreign investers!

It already exists, and is being actively researched now…

http://www.cosmosmagazine.com/features/print/348/...

Not only does it incorporate safeguards that current nuclear operations DO NOT, it also CONSUMES existing nuclear waste as well, meaning it can be used to remove the potantial threats from spent fuel rods and the accepted terrorist uses therof…
