People across the UK have been warned not to take part in a growing civil disobedience campaign against the soaring costs of gas and electricity.
Tens of thousands of Brits have pledged to take part in Don't Pay, which involves cancelling direct debits and ignoring bills from energy companies from 1 October if the situation hasn't changed by then.
The protest was already gaining traction after the energy price cap jump in April, which went from £1277 to £1971.
Once again, the cap is predicted to rise this coming October, this time from £1,971 to £2,980.

A “long, cold, winter of death” may await.

Right, Brandon?
The Depopulationists may be very pleased come Spring of 2023.
One can only hope that they are NOT among the survivors!
The energy boss warns people not to join in, “my salary needs to stay in the 300,000 range for me to spend most of my time at my villa in the south of France where it’s a lot warmer,” he explained.
And the Chinese are not making their mortgage payments either. Where is all this going? 😀🤗🤭
The increase is not the fault of the energy companies, who are simply passing on the market price. The protestors should take out their upset on the people to blame - the politicians and the rest of ruling class.
If a proportion get away without paying for what they take, then the burden will fall on those who scrimp and save and do pay. (But that’s been government policy for decades anyway.)
I say don’t pay. It is time to punch back twice as hard.
At least we’re not the only country going to hell in a hand basket.
$4.68 a dozen in Walmart last week.
No, we are not.

My first thought, someone is VERY EFFECTIVELY deflecting the blame away from the government there and their hell-bent Green drive.
Yep- same here.
The store brand eggs were $3.99 yesterday (they are sticking smaller eggs in the extra large egg containers) but the cage free organic were $2.99 and were the right size.
What in the...???
We found a local woman that sells eggs. Excellent quality, and a lot cheaper than the local store.
They’re free range and you get to see where they live and what they eat.
We were in Britain last week visiting family. They were all concerned about whether or not they can afford to pay the increase in heating. These are families with both parents working- and they were fearful they would not be able to afford to heat their homes due to the increase. One thing that came out during our conversations about this was a report released a couple of weeks ago detailing how the energy companies there had recorded in excess of a %500 increase in profits since last year- before the increase goes into effect. If this report is true then someone’s head(s) need to roll (IMHO).
Pols don't listen to their voters. They do listen to the donor class who they get millions in kickbacks from.
In this case, Ofgem is the government, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_of_Gas_and_Electricity_Markets#Structure
Little different in the UK than here. More socialism.
