Human rights and the UK

[scooterscot]

Reading the news on various new papers. Why is the UK intent on becoming so much like 1930's Germany?

Last week passing a law that ensures the surveillance on individuals is most intense of anywhere in the EU.
Inflation out of control, massive debts.
Extradite any UK citizen at the request of a US court without evidence.
Boris is buying a water cannon.

Inflation out of control

These would be the imaginary papers?

You think 20% yoy house prices is a good thing?

[d000hg]

Oh, I thought you meant inflation, not the ScooterMadeUp index based on house prices in London.

Yep

But London is the centre of our entire economy.

You think those rates of inflation since 2007 are okay? Food @ 27%. Glad my salary has gone up by the same amount since.

Deep Fried Scooter is right. I went in to the butchers yesterday to buy a pork chop. I had £350,000 in a rucksack but I was robbed. Guess what they took ?
yep!! my bike

27% in 7 years? That's 3.5% inflation. Hardly comparable to 1930s Germany is it?

Monetary inflation has a certain horizon beyond which price inflation will follow. Worth noting.
Also worth noting that you'll see inflation in chickens etc much sooner than you will in beef for example.

Also worth noting that if, lets suppose, retailers are absorbing price inflation then that isn't to say that it doesn't exist.
