Customer Reviews
February 8,2023-British Gas Co.
Your Investigative reporting on British Gas Co.’s chilling practices of attaching a“pay as you go” meter regardless of circumstances when homeowners got behind on their gas bill is a Mr. Scrooge heartless action as Energy CO’s are awash in profits.
There needs to be an excess profits tax using those funds to assist homeowners who are in need of help.

Late news
This podcast is hit and miss. Some days they have interesting programs. I have noticed they are late on trends, like months later. Which doesn’t work in this era. For example “trad wives” all my other podcasts have done an episode on this like 6 months ago, so it’s all copy and paste. Boring! Maybe this is podcast is made for boomers?
Southgate
It’s interesting how both interviewer and the interviewee circumvent the issues of race and violence following the last major tournament. An occasion where I, and many people around the world thought Southgate showed immense integrity and grit, despite his countrymen’s flagrant racism and vulgarity.
I think Southgate’s composure in some capacity quelled the anger I felt. This is evidenced by how he immediately ran onto the pitch after Saka’s devastating penalty, and embraced him, as a father would. He was protective and I felt that, as a black person. I cried, not from disappointment, but from fear for that young man, but seeing Southgate sprinting onto the pitch and shielding Saka, brought me consolation.
That’s quality.
