    Of course prices are still rising. Theyve got to milk as much money out of the British somehow once inflation dies off. Greed and money.

    6:25 speaking for myself, a 40yr old that has always weighed less than my bmi weight. Ive since lost further weight from not being able to afford food. I work full time racing around the store for a full 8/9 hours 6 days a week. Im seeing mysrlf becoming more and more ill because of exhaustion but could not afford time off work. Ive stopped smoking, which was a little luxury i enjoyed, sold everything i dont need in my houee and im still falling further into debt. My partner had been off work with anxiety and depression now suffering suicidal episodes. More has to be done! Get out of these conglomerates profits, because sooner or later we will see a public uprising. Weve watched you strip the country of assets and ferry our monry to offshore accounts and friends of friends. Its absolutely appaling! And how they can sit on these shows thinking we cant see through the b.s is just abhorent. The country is in turmoil, youre killing foreigners because of your greed and lack of humanity and pitting us against each other. It doesnt wash, much like the blood on their hands.

    Government could definitely freeze food prices ie supplement price of flour or milk or eggs or whatever ie basics if they wanted to.

    Everyone has forgotten why the uk workers needed more wages decades ago. It was a tax brought in to tackle the Ozone, then the melting ice caps, then the acid rain & lots more untruths, just to bring in a fuel duty.
    Scrap fuel duty, stop sending billions of aid to countries that have governments who can afford to send rockets into space, or have massive shares in British businesses.
    Scraping the fuel duty would make it cheaper to process food ingredients, delivery, transportation of said ingredients, it would also mean more families would be able to afford to spend more locally, which would mean more profits for local shops/businesses, would mean more people in work. That alone would bring in more TAX for the OVER PAID MP'S OF ALL PARTIES, on that note make anyone in government AND media who earns more then £1000k a year take a 1/3rd pay cut (I'm being generous there). Because who the F needs that much money every year.
    Awake yet? 1960's-Oil gone in 10 years 1970's-Another Ice Age in 10 yrs. -Acid Rain will destroy all crops in 10 yrs. 1990's The Ozone layer will be gone in 10 years Ice caps will be gone in 10 yrs. 2000 NONE HAPPENED: but all resulted in MORE TAXES

    Idk if that's necessarily a good thing. The reason the U.S. can't seem to lower inflation rates, is because people won't pay back into the M2 money supply, because they want to keep their 3% mortgages, their 570ck5 and any other things they bought before the price hikes.
    I'm not saying inflation is good, but it's even worse if the only reason it's lowering, is that people hate their lives so much they won't even borrow to support it, that they have nothing of value to hold onto in the first place.
    Furthermore, this could turn into a famine if there's ever an interruption of the oceanic supply system. Britain is extremely reliant on imported food. Since no one seems to own anything, they likely don't have months or years of emergency food reserves.
    So... Yeah, in your case, inflation is probably not your biggest issue. Britain is already in a situation that Americans are trying to avoid. You are beyond the event horizon. Good luck to you.

    6:25 Where on earth are you getting the prices of those STAPLE FOODS FFS!
    I have always had to use budget shops & their unbranded value goods
    Milk £1.04 ⏫ £1.45
    Bread 45p ⏫ 85p
    Eggs dz £1.59 ⏫ £2.57
    That's a LOT more than 12.7% inflation & there's no way to reduce the cost of food for us except buying less & going without 😡

    Has the world gone mad? Why is no one reporting on the month over month inflation figures? The last two months figures have been 0.2 and - 0.3. So if you annualised the last two months we're currently running at - 3% (deflation!). Plus the food inflation still looks horrendous but the month over month figure is 0.2% so 2.4% annualised.
    Furthermore, I have no idea why wage inflation is included. It's this only item in the basket that actually improves people's standard of living rather than degrades it.
