How can you have a three yr report that doesn’t find anybody at fault?

I feel for genuine boiler owners who have been totally screwed. Politicians and civil servants get a mild slap on the wrist but get the next pay cheque next month.

 

[Agrifool]

And they announce the report findings at the height of the corona virus hoping most of us wont care about it because the whole country is obsessed with toilet roll !

It's how we do things over here, a bit like school sports day, everyone has to be a winner. Besides that the boys still need their jobs.

 

[The Agrarian]

Yep. We used give bad people life jail sentences, and slap them around occasionally. But that seemed to have limited effect. So we let them all out and gave them a wee pat on the back, and seats on the board that oversees policing.

You seriously couldn't make up how twisted reality is here.

Tbh I had no problem with the scheme, we heard the headline figure of how much it was going to cost (£400 million was it?) But how much of that money would have ended up back in the Exchequer through increased tax returns either as direct income tax or through people buying machinery etc.
A broiler man neighbour couldn't get the money spent quick enough, tractor, silage trailer, pickup and even a new roller all in the space of 18 months.
Money from the scheme going back into the economy.

it was the poultry boys who moy park told to sign up to it the had their heating payments cut from Moy park. That’s the real scandal in All this

 

[it's not over]

They only had to copy and paste the British scheme. I could if done that. The problem was obviously no ceiling. I knew there was an issue long before it made the press. I was told it took 8k/ year to heat a henoouse on gas. Neighbour said now it was costing 40k. On simple mathematics no government scheme could sustain the massive increase. If I had a henoouse I would of had a massive big fxxk off boiler too

The country is slowly grinding to a halt, government want businesses to take these decisions for themselves, rather than telling them what to do, they don't want to look to be authoritarian.
