Highest prices in the world. Taking back control to ensure the corporations have massive profits, at our expense.

Erm.. Not even in Europe, so no?

It was, at one point, apparently..

Even if there was maybe one or two higher, who cares. Not going to bicker over it.

It wasn't. There was a misleading table of spot prices published that seems to have done the rounds covering 30 minutes of high demand/cost in the UK, but unless you have some source or some info that I haven't seen, the UK doesn't have anything like the highest energy prices in the word, nor in a European context and certainly not if you are looking at consumer prices (given the Government interventions and subsidy)

I was talking about electricity, should have been more specific. I'll be sure to run it past the lawyers next time.

So was I...?

Although just for clarity, the UK doesn't have the highest gas or electricity prices in the world, or Europe, or compared to the EU.

Google it and you'll find a number of sources from the end of last year that says that the UK was paying the highest electricity prices in the world. Whether that's still the case, I don't know.

Might be better to take it up with them as I'm sure they have sources for their assertions..

Eg.. Cityam Walesonline Nationalworld Yahoo Etc etc..

So just for clarity. It was reported that we did. I'm just passing it on.
