THE SUN SAYS

We get uSwitch needs to make a profit — but leave off taking loyal British punters for a ride

Ripping U off

THE arrogance of the sneaky price ­comparison site uSwitch is staggering.

Three years ago The Sun exposed it and its rivals for hiding deals that did not pay them a commission while ­pretending to scour the entire market.

The Commons hauled them in.

Ofgem ordered them to be entirely upfront.

Most complied. Not uSwitch, which last month simply stuck two fingers up.

These sites have to make a living, but not by subterfuge.

Punters think they’re being shown the best deal for THEM . . . not for uSwitch’s profits.

MPs should grill its bosses again immediately.

And the feeble watchdog Ofgem must for once bare its teeth.

Britain is routinely fleeced by energy firms. Theresa May aims to sort that.

To be further ripped off by a comparison site breaching industry rules is a sickener.


Hate platforms

FOR years we were told Anjem Choudary was a harmless blowhard who appealed only to a few hotheads and could be ignored.

The latest result of letting this creature openly preach hate for so long? Four dead in the heart of London.

Khalid Masood was reportedly a Anjem Choudary fan, like hundreds more whose blood-curdling videos backing ISIS are still, incredibly, on YouTube.

What scale of slaughter will it take for owners Google to stop pleading helplessness and prevent this filth being posted? It is disseminating Choudary’s evil far more effectively than he did.

What will it take for Facebook to accept it is facilitating new atrocities while its encrypted WhatsApp text ­service remains beyond GCHQ’s reach?

Will ANY horror convince Microsoft lives are more important than its image?

The cynical greed of US tech giants is helping spead terror throughout the world.

Muslims' demo

WE have often implored Britain’s Muslims to do more to stand up against terror.

Commendably, they have done so.

A peace rally in Birmingham was followed by a moving demo of mainly Muslim women on Westminster Bridge.

We do not agree that the terrorists’ ideology has nothing to do with Islam.

Of course it does, though it is a vicious and extreme interpretation of it.

Muslims must show their young people how unconditionally the majority reject it.


Aid madness

WE’VE heard it all now on foreign aid.

The reason so much money is wasted, claim MPs, is the International Development department needs more staff.

A way to solve the momentous amount of taxpayers' cash from being wasted is to slash the ghastly department in half

Here’s a solution to both problems: cut its budget by half.

Spend the savings on social care and a Brexit rainy-day fund.

There . . . sorted. Happy to help.
