And that would be my state pension. Sadly, it won’t result in any money in my pocket and this has been exacerbated with my little nest of vipers learning of this huge hedge against rocketing inflation and thus longing for a visit to a store to check out any recent innovations in colander design. My input that whatever they do, it’ll still be just a bowl with holes don’t dent her excitement in the slightest.
Regards rising prices, I catch interviews with the elderly and those on low wages all over the TV and, to me, it’s amazing the figures some quote for their new electrickery bills. It can be anything from three to close to five hundred a month. Or do I miss-hear and it’s leccy and gas combined? Either way, I just can’t imagine wot these folk are running daily in their homes to hit highs like that. Or are they folk that have leccy cars to charge… That’ll probably do it, right?
Anyhoo, all much the same with the media; war, co-co, cost of living and climate. And slowly, slowly, creeping in, scary imminent food shortages. Hay, you can’t save the planet and feed folk can you?
Is that enough to frighten y’all for now?
To top it all off, I see there’s another item for the media to wet their panties over with the ‘news’ that Mr Bojangles has been fined for having a few brews with his best buddies at a bad time. I’m guessing that’ll take top spot for MSM for a few days then.
Quote; Sun Tzu.
“The proximity of an army causes prices to go up; and high prices cause people's substance to be drained away. When their substance is drained away, they will be afflicted by heavy exactions. With this loss of substance and exhaustion of strength, the homes of the people will be stripped bare, and their incomes dissipated.”

Five hundred a month sounds like it could be electricity, gas and scratch cards combined.
A K Haart,
Well thought through. So obvious; lottery, scratch cards and bingo - all taxes on the poor. The football pools of old look so harmless now do they not?
