FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda According to a report released by the SwitchGasandElectric.com yesterday on June 7, 37 percent of British consumers are considered as being in fuel poverty as they are currently spending over 10 percent of their income on gas and electricity bills on average.
The research by the energy price comparison site into the proportion of household income spent on fuel bills in 13,000 homes across the UK also found a further 13 percent of Britons will fall into fuel poverty if suppliers increase their prices later this summer.
However, the study was in sharp contrast to the recent statistics published by the UK Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC), predicting that only 3.9 million people in England will fall into fuel poverty this year.
“What the government data does not reveal is the huge number of Britons who are already forced to spend more than a tenth of their income on gas and electricity bills,” said Sally Hill, managing director of SwitchGasandElectric.com.
“With that figure only set to rise, and with food bills and living expenses escalating too, most Britons are going to see their finances severely squeezed even further this winter,” she adds.
Meanwhile, earlier on March, 2012, a report warned that due to rising energy prices and costly green taxes in Britain, the number of English households struggling to pay their fuel bills will rise to 9.2 million by 2016.
The Hills Fuel Poverty Review which was carried out by Professor John Hills, a London School of Economics academic who was assigned last year by the DECC to examine the issue of fuel poverty, also found that under the current definition of fuel poverty, around 4 million of the total of 21.5 million households in England are struggling to pay their bills.
