At first glance what follows might appear to be about Facebook, but it isn’t. Facebook merely facilitated an extraordinary sequence of events.Yesterday, in Not Making The News I referred to the fact that the not-yet-in-existence Great British Energy has a Facebook page. An earlier one was taken down after a number of comments from those sceptical of its objectives met with what might be considered inappropriate responses. Now they’re having another go, though it seems lessons have not been learned.
It all kicked off when Kate Tulloch posted:
So how exactly ( emphasis on exactly) will this toothless quango result in lower electricity bills? Also, with an expected cost to set up, of £8.3billion, how does this spend equate with the “black hole” in government finances and the cancellation of pensioner’s winter fuel payments? Genuine question to which I’d love to have a response to.
Willie Jackson followed up with:
Wouldn’t we all but if we get one I doubt it will be sensible.
At which point the first response was forthcoming:
We’re an energy company. Check our website –

https://greatbritishenergy.wordpress.com/emails/(see our email of 14th September to the Scottish Governments for our suggestions as to how OFGEM could bring down energy prices sooner rather than later)
Kate replied:
that doesn’t really answer my question and as one of the main aims is to bring down energy prices (see snapshot) I’d have expected a definitive plan.
