Maybe cos everything is privately owned?
Winter subsidies for pensioners were removed by the new Labour government.

...and another thing: Chris O'Shea's remuneration package isn't even amongst the highest of the FTSE 100 company CEOs where 10, 12, even 16 million salaries may be found.

Denise Coates package of salary, bonus, shares etc was increased this year - increased - by the same amount as the total Chris O'Shea gets. It currently stands at over two hundred and twenty million pounds per annum.
