        All energy companies are ran by profit chasing morally bankrupt tories. A supertax is required when profiteering like this happens. Greed.

        Why? Because they have worked hard during their life to get where they are they have to pay in excess of 60% tax? Ridiculous

        Yeah, because every billionaire definitely worked thousands of times harder than normal folk, and earned thousands of times their pay.

        They pay 45% tax. That's enough. Shouldn't punish people for being ambitious.
