Inflation

We don't talk much about inflation these days, because we don't seem to see an across the board, upward movement in prices. Across the board being the important bit. Clothing prices, technology prices and many other such items don't seem to have gone up much, if at all. House prices obviously have been depressed.

So where is the inflation coming from? Well, food prices have been volatile, for not readily discernible reasons and energy prices in particular have sky rocketed. Then there is increased income tax, NI, VAT and things like petrol duty. But the government is also behind the rise of energy prices to a large degree. Firstly, foreign companies have been allowed to buy our utility companies (something that is often not permitted in their own country) and most of these companies are now foreign owned.

Secondly, the regulation of these companies is extraordinarily lax and they have increased prices for greater profit, massively (again, something their own countries forbid, hence the interest in coming here), which is the governments fault. And lastly they have been slammed with 'green taxes' and enforced 'buy ins' of ridiculously expensive 'renewable' energy, which is added to the bill. Forced, by the government.

So all in all, the main reason your life is so difficult, is a direct consequence of government action or inaction. Your life is being ruined by the very people who are supposed to run things competently on your behalf. Indeed, the cost of government is due to the incompetence of the people buying in equipment for the MoD or the NHS IT system or indeed, any PFI project. Or Global Warming, or any other of the myriad stupid scams that MP's with their special gullibility and their access to our money, fall for.
