Wink People of Scotland are we slowly being squeezed

People of Scotland are we slowly being squeezed

Recently I’ve been trying to save money on my Bills or put it another way I’ve tried to minimise how well I’m ripped off!! , so far I’ve chosen the cheapest gas and electric for the area I live in www.ebico.co.uk , I’ve changed my Telecom option to low user with BT , saves Over 20 quid a quarter on my line rental and I can still make calls up to the amount of £14.80 a Quarter on my home phone without losing out , shopped around for a cheaper mortgage , got rid of the credit card (uk highest rates in the world ) , stopped smoking, got fed up paying the fag companies and the Government to slowly kill me , sold off the car and motorbike , finally realised owning anything that uses fossil fuels is asking to be legally mugged (Uk only oil producing nation in the world that doesn’t take advantage of being a oil producer ), got rid of my personal Mobile phone (more expensive than smoking) .

So I think you’ve got the idea I’m making a concerted effort to cut costs, very prudent you may asked? But I’ve reached a quagmire, where can I get cheaper local council services and a company that can cut the cost of my TV licence?

Sorry!! What I’m I saying, I thought for a minute I was living in a society that was free and allows people freedom of choice, freedom to choose.
A capitalist society with a free market, a country we call a democracy.

Which got me thinking? Why do I have to make this concerted effort to cut costs?? Ohm!! That’s right everything I buy, use and/or consume is going up in price by more than the rate of inflation except my pay (unless you’re MP). I’m already working 14 hours a day, 6 days a week sometimes 7 and this was the only way I could make ends meet.

I’m slowly but surely being squeezed, I can’t be the only one? , I see myself as fairly well off around the Scottish average income so there’s got to be people out there who are in the same or similar situation, maybe even worse?

So I ask this simple Question if I’m not the only one being squeezed and there is a fair number out there, what’s going to happen if this is allowed to go on and on.

I’m not sure if voting would make a difference it doesn’t matter which of the main parities gets in , it’s just more of the same(arrogance) , or do I have to just take it (The Scottish mentality) because right now I’ve got the feeling I’m being taken for granted by the powers that be ‘ Mega Style’ .
