British Gas boss gets £1.6m bonus. Whoever said ‘the wages of sin are death’ was wrong
Money to burn: British Gas.
Why is a utility provider making a 1,000 per cent increase in profits?
It’s inflationary, it’s impoverishing customers… it should be illegal.
No firm of this kind should make profits above a certain – very low – percentage. A huge increase indicates a fault in the company’s pricing system – probably fuelled by greed and opportunism.
This creep should be in prison, not in clover.

I am a bit confused. Didn’t this happen early last year?
The title of the article is misleading; quoting a 1.6bn (billion) bonus, whereas the report says 1.6m. Please fix this.
Either way, even if it was 160k, it’s still wrong – millions in fuel poverty and these greedy … companies … making record profits.
His actual bonus is £3.7m. still scandalous but nowhere near £1.6bn
Headline: “British Gas boss gets £1.6bn bonus. Whoever said ‘the wages of sin are death’ was wrong” – to be accurate, it was £1.6 million, not £1.6 billion. Still sickening. NO-ONE is worth anywhere near that kind of money. 100% tax on anything over 10x the lowest paid employee’s wages/salary! Sounds fair to me, and that, or something like it, was more or less accepted not THAT long ago!
What a place to put a typo! Yes – £1.6m, not £1.6bn.
