TIMES
Heaven and hell are eternal places because they are always present at the extremes of human existence, for better or for worse. People are constantly choosing between them, although they are generally not conscious of that in an articulated manner.

My house is nearly one hundred years old. I refuse to have cavity wall insulation as it conducts damp across the cavity and can’t be removed if there’s a problem. There’s also no insulation under the downstairs floors, which is normal for older houses but wouldn’t meet current building regulations, All that been said, I have a modern gas boiler and until the recent rise in energy prices my gas bill was only £30 per month on average for hot water and heating based on gas at 4p per KWh.
The price went up to 16p per unit last winter, the government then capped my price at 10p per unit (it paid the difference to the energy supplier - who have made record profits in the tens of billions of pounds) and has just announced the price cap will soon fall to 8p per unit.
However the wholesale price of gas has now fallen to below the level it was before the Nord Stream gas pipelines were destroyed, in fact it’s been back at a much lower price for sometime. So the government has once again intervened in a supposedly free market and has thusly transferred a vast amount of public and private wealth to energy companies and the price of gas and electric to me the consumer is still twice what it was twelve months ago.
We live in a corporatocracy.
