UK: Mum's gas bills go up by 300% - Huddersfield Examiner

A STUDENT single mum got a Halloween fright when she was told her gas bills had rocketed by more than 300%.

Sarah Hopson got a letter from British Gas on October 31 saying her payments would increase from £48 to £198 a month.

Sarah, 27, lives alone with her three-year-old son Korey at Belle Vue Crescent, Sheepridge.

The first year Huddersfield University student said: “It’s appropriate that I got the letter on Halloween – it’s a scary amount of money.

“If I had to pay this much I wouldn’t be able to look after my son or myself.

“I wouldn’t be able to afford clothing or food or anything.

“I haven’t been able to have my heating on because I’m worried about the bills, which is no good because Korey is just getting over a cold.”

Let's say more people face this situation in a future CO2-hysteric world.

Won't they feel better if we explain that their money is paying for global warming conferences in exotic locations, for new yachts for carbon traders, for payments to corporations for not cutting down trees that they didn't plan to cut down, etc?
