Fuel poverty protestors occupy British Gas offices In a statement, the Fuel Poverty Action group said: "British Gas is being targeted as one of the Big Six energy companies making profits out of rising energy bills. It is planned to stream the occupation live on the internet, with a 'Heat or Eat' comedy quiz played by the occupiers, and audience participation over Twitter. A British Gas spokesman said: "Following the arrival of a small number of people at our company headquarters this morning to demonstrate against fuel poverty, our priority is to ensure the safety of our employees, the general public and the protesters. To that end, we are working closely with the police. We recognise the impact that higher energy prices are having on household budgets. That's why British Gas has announced a series of measures to help customers through the winter, including a cut in electricity prices, a hold on prices overall, free insulation and help for eligible customers to claim the Warm Homes Discount. In the past three years, we have spent more than £500m on helping vulnerable customers, more than any other organisation in Britain bar the Government.
