You mean millions of people in the UK aren’t struggling to afford regular meals? https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/cost-of-living-crisis-uk-food-poverty-b2074449.html

I’m trying not to laugh at that ridiculous response.

I’m all for bus drivers being well paid too.

False equivalence.

But surely you understand inflation reduces their standard of living.

But you said the price is set years ago. Regardless, the UK receives around 3% of its gas from Russia. So I don’t think the ‘not receiving 3%’ is the cause. Me thinks it’s rapid price hikes, somebody agrees with me: https://heatable.co.uk/boiler-advice/where-does-the-UK-get-its-gas-from?gclid=CjwKCAjwhNWZBhB_EiwAPzlhNrBggJd_NqrR8iADp89hB_BuZqkemKIHxY1cpduduMfwe0q1MC1mfBoCMJkQAvD_BwE

Thank you. Now what is your objection to ordinary people making a decent wage?

I believe I always make a written response to posts I attach laughing emojis to (you’ve quoted an example above). But if the emoji offends you more than having your arguments torn to pieces, I’ll happily forgo the former in favor of the latter. Now how about addressing the argument I made in response to your post?

Which doesn’t help the argument that the pound dropping will not impact people in the UK does it?!

Oh, so Russia invade Ukraine and the price of fuel and energy shot up almost immediately. Supporters of the Tory Government where almost unable to keep up with the speed of it as they blamed inflation on fuel and energy hikes.

I’m sure you hear lots of things, but without a link to your source who knows what it is you are hearing,

Oil and gas is paid for in US Dollars. Imports are paid in the currency of the nation selling them. So cost of energy more expensive. Imported foods more expensive. Imported goods more expensive. Snd that’s before we get to increased national debt payments forcing cuts in government spending.

Why the restraint? Buy four, save twice as much.

The pension schemes were doing fine. The idiot PM messed with the economy and all of a sudden the Bank of England has to spend tens of billions to prop up Sterling and prevent pensions from defaulting. The safety net (another massive liability on the economy) would leave millions with significantly reduced pensions. Truss just can’t help winning voters over.

Millions of pensioners are in receipt of pensions from final pensions schemes, millions of workers are relying on their final salary pension schemes to support them in old age. Many will be Tory voters many will be swing voters. And you want us to believe there is nothing to see here. Is there any level of incompetence from this Government that gets through to you?

Which won’t save you from the idiot who’s now in Number 10.

I’m sure he thinks he’s on his way.

Perhaps it doesn’t bother you, but I’m sure it bothers very many recipients of Private Pensions in the UK. I wonder how many of whom are Tory voters, or swing voters?

Workers wanting pay rises so they can feed their families while the Government removes restrictions on Banker’s bonuses.

So I was right, he’s a Prince and one day he may be King (nothing is certain in life). And he inherited private estates that are not ‘crown estates property’.

Oh look Truss’ concerted efforts to destroy what’s left of the economy are all the fault of the Left. By means that are never explained, the Left has somehow forced a Conservative Government with an 80 seat majority to select an idiot replacement for Johnson and tgen some how forced the idiot incumbent PM to make decisions that send Sterling into crisis while destroying investor confidence, It’s all the fault of the Left. Who knew?!

Irrelevant to the question I answered. And Prince William isn’t a King: there’s a clue in his title.

I know who Putin prefers.

Several of the estates he has inherit are private property, not crown estates.

MAGA still haven’t got over it.
