THE cost-of-living crisis has the working class under assault on multiple fronts. Serving on the committee of the Wyndford Residents Union, I witness first hand the devastating impact that runaway inflation has upon the lowest earners in society.
But there lies great opportunity in times like these too, when the extraction of wealth from the bottom to the top of society has never been more flagrant. Members of my community in Maryhill, Glasgow, spend an average of 54 per cent of their income on energy bills, with our energy provider SSE (formerly Scottish and Southern Energy) reporting a 15 per cent year-on-year increase.
While most consumers have a degree of “flexibility” to their fuel tariffs by changing energy provider 1800 homes in Wyndford are tied to SSE due to its lease of our district heating system.
