  How can profit be obscene, Dave1, it means more much needed tax revenues for HMRC, it means that energy companies have money in invest in energy supplies, it means that there should be a decent dividend for people's pensions at a time when they have been particularly hard hit, it means that we have successful companies that can grow and be more successful. It means secure jobs as well.
  
  Pricing is a complex business, it is not a simple process, a fraction of a percentage wrong and this profit would turn into a loss in an instant. You seem to think that energy companies can foresee event and price accordingly as if they have crystal balls with perfect vision - life is not that in the real world.
  
  Profit needs to be celebrated not whinged about.
  
  You complain about me being all about profit and say 'try being a little human', well take your assumed moral authority and place it where the sun does not shine because it is no use to man or beast. It may make you feel all good about yourself and for many people that is what their so called compassion is really all about. Real compassion requires the cash to do something practical and that always come from profit. I do not have to make myself feel all warm and cuddly because I do something practical for those causes that I care about and that takes cash, all derived from what you so easily dismiss as profit. Rant over.
