100%. And look at these holier than thou presenters out to get him for earning so much, yet all these presenters are on somewhere between 250-300K per annum.
Just today, his pay has now doubled to exceed £8m!! If I were a British Gas customer, I would go to another supplier immediately. This is utterly obscene and cannot be justified.
Listen to what he actually says, the British Gas Domestic customer sales profits per year are around £40 per year, that is less that £1 per week "PROFIT" from this they put 10% into a hardship fund to help the needy customers, they can also give two £25 Free Credits to customers who are on Pre-payment meters.
He's honest. Politicians aren't. Fairplay to him he deserves every penny, same way as every footballer deserves theirs and less entitled people go to the matches, he isn't choosing it.. hes playing the game and reaping the rewards and we all would do it if we could..
@@andreasvictorious3991 it’s a capitalist system though ? Who owns British Gas ? It’s a private company ? Used to be national? It’s a basic need agreed whereas watching football is more a choice , still the effort and stress compared to kicking a ball about will be much more demanding mentally
I hear this bloke is to get £8 million plus, for a year!!! Makes me sick. No one should be allowed that!, especially when the country struggles with the cost of living crisis. Sickening
Nationalise energy end of should of never being privitised same as water & rail. All got more and more expensive that is gift Torries gave this country years ago.
"British Gas generated 115 million British pounds in profits from domestic energy supply in 2021" now divide that by the number of "Domestic customers" "Serving around twelve million homes in the United Kingdom" Now a simple maths question, 115,000,000 divided by 12,000,000 gives total "PROFITS" made from each Domestic Customer of £9.58 PER YEAR Now take your complaints to any other household "Supplier" of whatever service they provide.
This man deserves more money, such a smart operator. At least 10 million a year that his time is worth. A true legend of the energy world. PAY HIM MORE!!!
Wouldn't it be great if we were all on an unjustified amount of pay. Trying to force customers to buy more gas/electric than they need just to try to keep up with the standing charges. The 'are you ok' letters that they send out now are a joke, trying to make it sound like they're concerned about people they don't even know. These letters are only sent out when you're not spending as much as they want you to spend.
I don't care what anyone says. Nobody is worth £8.2M a year. I am currently struggling to exist and you have people like Chris earning that sort of money and people in charge of our country (Rishi) with wife's having stakes in companies worth £730,000,000. This money should be taken away from them and given to genuine people who really need it.
I agree with you philosophically. However how do you propose this money is taken away? Chris says he doesn't set his pay, ask yourself in your job if your employer gave you 8.2mil for your work, would you say no?
@@SirArtsy No. I'm pretty certain I would say yes and I do understand he's the head of a big business worth huge amounts of money. It would just be nice if the rich gave back to the poor or with people that have genuine disabilities and a better balance. Maybe they are taxed more and the money re distributed to people with disabilities/charities and people that really need help.
So basically, if you don't use your gas or electric you pay less....hmmmm sound like the bottom line is that you freeze and sit in the dark and you'll be OK. But the bosses won't, or sorry can't do anything to help, unless you use less.
Thats not how large corporations work, he doesn't own the company, he manages the running of it. Large businesses are jointly run by shareholders who make decisions above the heads of senior staff. Its not like a small startup owned and run by one person, the shareholders and appointed committee members decide his remuneration and also have the power to relieve him of his post.
I cannot beleive this guy has the brass balls to quote the turnover and his bonus along with agreeing that even if the standing charge is scrapped- they will just up the cost of the unit so no change for the little people making them super RICH...DISCUSTING ASSULT OF EVERYDAY PPL
He answered directly and he doesn't set his own wage and I garentee with 100% certainty that if your boss offered you 4 million pound you would absolutely take it. Don't reply with "no I wouldnt" because I'll respond with one word "liar" I wish politicians had this much direct honesty!
If I took money from people like Chris o shea I would be loved up . And how can he justify his wages and bonuses. Its a bloody disgrace and it's these assholes that have made the poor poorer being so greedy the certainly don't give a dame about the country or there fellow man
The way he talks about, his earnings , how he justify , how he can't understand his bonuses , why he then takes in to is pocket, about the the price rise of gas not be connected with Russia - Ukraine , about his company doesn't own the infrastructures , they only produce , store and sale to the costumer the energy , the way he says is impossible justify... this all interview is sick ! Disgusting! The only word i can find to describe this person is Immoral, he doesn't have any morals, and like him many others in this country who have no shame at all in ripping of the population and all this happens due one only thing - corrupt politicians who run this country !
@@lewiskx20 is not about his honesty what i don't like about him , but about of the immorality when he says he can't justify his millions £ in bonuses , when we see people dying from cold at home due the real fact they can't afford pay their energy bill . Probably should be correct to say they can't afford his unjustified bonuses of millions of pounds . Anyway was not my intention to upset you , but i'm sure majority of the population in this country they not only understand my words but also they feel them .
That was refreshingly open and seemed sincere and honest.
Right
100%. And look at these holier than thou presenters out to get him for earning so much, yet all these presenters are on somewhere between 250-300K per annum.
Is it true what Richard vobes said that thay charge 1 hundred and 70 times it cost them us
Could he take a lower wage, does he really need an £8,000,000 wage, whilst pensioners and the poor are suffering

Gary linkers Salary was 2 million from the BBC paid by the licence fee … are we asking how that’s justified 🤷🏼♂️
Completely different.
Yes
He's honest. Politicians aren't. Fairplay to him he deserves every penny, same way as every footballer deserves theirs and less entitled people go to the matches, he isn't choosing it.. hes playing the game and reaping the rewards and we all would do it if we could..
He looks like the Monopoly guy except without the top hat.
What about footballers and their pay!? I think the stress of this job will be more than kicking a ⚽️ ball around a pitch
It's money they produce though. People pay to watch them play football. It's not from taxes
@@andreasvictorious3991 it’s a capitalist system though ? Who owns British Gas ? It’s a private company ? Used to be national? It’s a basic need agreed whereas watching football is more a choice , still the effort and stress compared to kicking a ball about will be much more demanding mentally
@@andreasvictorious3991 what’s more- you need food like energy - the food providers are private companies - what are their CEOs making?
Why the he'll is this man getting 8 million a year and our bills are going up

Is nobody going to raise the moustache?
Your mum is on a state pension? Come on Chris, you must help your mum out.
Nobody should be getting 1 million let alone plus 7 .

Are you saying that if you use half as much as your neighbour then you should pay the same price? 😂
How on earth, you the Boss of the company, so you setting up the pay.
