The inflation figures the government uses are a lie, I saw some estimates that real inflation last year in London was of the order of 8 - 9% and that was before council tax, gas prices, petrol prices and food prices all had inflation in the region of 8 - 15 %. Let alone the price of mortgages.

These are all top dollar items, they're not the optional penny-hapenny things. People are getting poorer, even with wage rises. I used to get 2 - 3 % at the BBC and each and every year of my employment I could afford less and less. It's getting worse and NuLab and NuCon are in a pact to screw the overwhelming majority of hte population into the ground.

It's about time somebody stood up for working people, even the totemic hard-working families that Brown is always wittering on about. Summer of discontent I say, remind those knobless plastic NuLab careerist wankers that they work for us, not just the City.
