It's the usual story - the ever dwindling number of taxpayers in this country paying for everyone else's lifestyle.

I suspect you mean "income" tax payers. It could make more sense to increase VAT - that way the tax burden would be more  evenly spread.

Perhaps as a condition of wiping the debt off those defaulters could have to have a card meter to stop them falling in to debt again     It's unfair at present that people on card meters should pay a higher rate for their energy use as card meter holders should only pay the same as everyone on an ordinary meter.
That way everyone has to pay the same for the energy used

All very well singing the praises and lapping up the awards for the Colwyn Bay to Rhos on Sea promenade improvements but when those dignitaries are posing for the photos perhaps shoot from the reverse position and look at how it ends.
It's getting worse as the years wear on and if we have a rough winter who knows what might happen.

But perhaps he's busy with the Pier Pavilion redevelopment...

After 4 years, you'd have thought there would have been some progress? Unless there were no plans to ever rebuild it and he just wanted to stop the proposed development on the site?

Thousands on benefits could have energy debt cancelled

Is it fair to the other people on benefits who have struggled to pay their energy bills or anyone else for that matter?
