No interest rate rise before unemployment falls, says King
i don't know why they pretend saying their job is to target 2% inflation, like, why even bother saying it
..they like good inflation; 300% rise in property price/values, they don't like paying 25p more for a loaf of bread..
..yet inflation is 4-5%? Bo11ox..
Because it satisfies the chattering muddled class Daily Hate reading proles locked into the warp that their 'ten grand savings' are being eroded by that naughty inflation..they like good inflation; 300% rise in property price/values, they don't like paying 25p more for a loaf of bread..
Real inflation in the UK? Pfftt...15%? Fuel has gone up circa 25% inside 12 months, food 10%, clothing creeping up, bus fares..practically all the basics ordinary folk need to survive/thrive..yet inflation is 4-5%? Bo11ox..
I bet they have a specially designed formula that measures inflation against unrealistic variables.
I hear it was a universal laws formula, but I could be wrong.

I half agree, petrol is out of our hands anyway (unless they knocked it down to the 45p it actually costs, but that would involve reducing taxes, so unlikely), food is getting more expensive but some stuff is cheap as ever (I saw a 99p breakfast when I was in Norfolk). It seems to me as though everything is going up because fuel is going up, so the inflation of anything that needs transporting is the result of a knock-on effect, it may have little to do with monetary policy beyond the ridiculous taxes placed on fuel. If a litre of petrol/diesel cost what it should (50p) then everything else would come down, DM readers would of course find something new to moan about
The British consumer still has it pretty easy.
where's everyone at with this pair?
i still have my original long, still bullish, think the selling is over done now
difficult to have a long term outlook on anything these days. For the moment I can't justify being long the eur, gbp, or usd for any longer than a quick 10 minute trade.
