Get a responsible adult to explain it to you.

Here one to explain it to you. Like I said, you’ll pay more if you stop your DD.

Should I cancel my Direct Debit?​

Joanne asked Martin: "Is there any mileage in cancelling Direct Debit payments and paying when the bill comes in, so as not to give energy companies money regularly and upfront?”

Martin explained how people who do not pay by Direct Debit will pay £200 more if they choose to pay when they are billed by their supplier.

He said: “You pay more per unit rate of gas and electricity if you pay in receipt of bills, however, the Direct Debit is based on the energy firm’s estimate of what you’ll use.

I wouldn't say the govt. is raising inflation artificially. Germany has an inflation rate of 8% today and chances are it'll keep climbing. Every country who suffered from covid-19 is having to put up with the consequences of dealing with the pandemic. The UK is having bigger problems because Brexit happened at the worst possible time.

Of course the reaction to Covid is a global factor with the fallout from the withdrawal from the EU affecting us in the UK. I still think inflation is at least part-engineered and being allowed to run away to help clear the debt (as happens throughout modern history). It also doesn't help when both PM candidates are involved within the IMF, with fingers in all sorts of financial pies.

The Ukrainian conflict can also go on the list of reasons why inflation is affecting Europe and the UK and as for the IMF they're meant to have 'fingers in all sorts of financial pies'. It's why they're there. The clue is in the 'I'.

Of course the IMF does! But that's not what I said... I said that Truss and Sunak do. They are both influential figures within large financial bodies and it's more than a coincidence. Having those two as potential candidates for PM will have been ensured at a higher level than the UK government.

Once you start reading into what little political careers these people have had (especially Sunak) and what heavy involvement they have in international bodies, it becomes reasonable to suggest there is a higher agenda.

Who do you think is behind it all?
