Has anyone has heard of that "Don't Pay" campaign going on in the U.K. right now?

It's advising residents to combat the raising price of energy by refusing to pay their energy bills. I definitely understand the price hike is ridiculous and a lot of people might be in a situation where there's no way they could afford to pay regardless but still it seems like this could end badly.

Energy price has not gone up (yet) here. I do not know but someone told me in the UK it has gone up like double or something?

How much has it actually and what is causing it?

@Punches I've heard it's doubled or tripled for certain people. For the reason..the short answer I guess is the war in Ukraine but I've read other sources that say that that isn't really the issue there are a lot of issues that the war as just exacerbated that would have eventually caused an energy collapse on it's own.
