Letter: the cold hard truth

letter (2)

Dear Editor

With winter approaching millions of people will be faced with the increasing cost of their fuel bills. For too many households it will be a question of heating the house properly or eating enough, both cannot be done.

Yet the industries that supply the means to do so make millions of pounds for investors in these privately owned compamies. It cannot be right that such essential services to sustain life should be run for private profit whilst every year there are thousands of cold related illnesses and deaths These services should and must be publicly owned using the profits made, for the benefit all.

This situation equally applies to the transport industry of Rail,Bus and Tram services that are needed to get to and from work. This is a big expense for most people, yet again millions are made for investors in these private companies: again this cannot be right. As people have to travel to their places of work these essential services should be publicly owned and operated for the benefit of all.
