  BG and others raise cash on the markets from investors both in equity (shares) and loans (bonds) for capital investment. Profits provide them with the means to do this. Ultimately they are no different to any company, customers always pay or, indeed government, taxpayers always end up paying. There is no such thing as a free lunch.
  
  This 'theft from taxpayers' is absurd. If we still had the old nationalised monopolies make no mistake prices would be a lot higher as indeed they were when we had them and we would be paying and would have no choice other than to cough up what they demand. Now you can change suppliers if you don't like their service or if they put there prices up too much. Ultimately all utilities are subject to the prices on the international markets, private or nationalised.
