My son who sees ulterior motives in everything wouldn't have a smart meter, I told him it would make life easier than reading the meter an submitting numbers every month. Now I think he is right and I am wrong having one of these cursed things, Mups you are right, it's Big Brother trying to control your energy use and forcing the poor onto prepayment meters so they pay even more.
Them at the top are trying to turn anything you hold dear upside down, we are living in a sinister world where they are getting more and more control over your everyday lives.
Yes, I have thought just the same as you, Jacqueline.
I've heard that we can be spied on through the little camera thing on laptops, and they track where we go through our mobile phones - and God knows what else these Smart Meters can do that we have not been made told about yet!
That woman on my first post, said they now make her pay £200 per month for using next to nothing.
Where do the wealthy ones think ordinary people like us can get this sort of money from, without going without other necessities?
Heat, light, and water are hardly what I would call frivolous luxuries, like those have who only wear the latest fashion, and have their private jets to take them on numerous exotic holidays while working out more ways to dodge paying tax!
All the majority of 'normal' honest folk want is a warm home, food in their bellies, and not be a fraid to turn the cooker or light switch on.
