Well well well. While Gnasher has been desperately trying to smear a true, dyed in the wool, lifelong Labour member, Union man and socialist like Angry with ‘Thatcher’ this, ‘Cruz’ that, plus all the transparently snide lack of faith, knowingly misrepresenting someone cuntery about ‘right-wingers on the forum’ just ideologically not liking poorer people getting payrises - mid-debating the issue with Angry - and all the while the Richard Keys to his Andy Gray trying to bait Angry on this thread is a fucking Spectator columnist? Say it ain’t so? What a daft fat cunt.

Come to the dark side Gnasher, use the hate, feel it flow, embrace it. 
 

Looks like we’ve recruited another one! 
 

I'm already on the dark side Rico.   but oh poor Angry, but he'll be ok he's got Benny Bollock on board. 

 

Anyway if the mans veiws on inflation are identical to Ted Cruz that's his fucking problem.

The approx temporary 1.5% rise in inflation is the equivalent to an approximate £10 weekly goods rise to someone earning 40 - 50 thousand pounds per year....

 

Yet some on the economic right (they are not socialists) believe this to be enough of a reason (as does Ted Cruz over America) to balk at some of the poorest people in our society gaining a 9% pay rise, a rise which could be the difference between a homeless person (figures say 10% of uk homeless are in full time work, another 20% work part time) affording secure and safe accommodation or staying on the streets...

A mate of mine who works for Shelter has assured me the situation has become far worse than when this article was penned..

So let's get this right. Italy, Spain and France are imo understandably pushing for a change of EU rules to ease the purse strings however the right wing Austrian government are forming a resistance...

 

Some did warn of the dangers of EU expansion...

Also, upsetting yourself over 2.5% - 3.9% interest rates is bizarre.

 

As the evidence I've produced shows, the States are doing fine, Germany ditto...both have higher interest rates than us..

Somebody used the word "Panglossian". It's absolutely the right word.

 

Gnasher, I'm glad you're happy in your little world.

It's mad how often I have to say this to you, but stop arguing against stuff that nobody here is saying. It makes you look stupid, at best.

You do know there's no correlation there at all, don't you? Nobody gives a fuck about rich people threatening to leave, because frankly we could do without them.

 

People rightly worry about inflation, because it hits poorer people hardest: well-off people can absorb a 4% increase in the cost of things

 

"A 4% increase" is the above you Angry or was your account hacked. Their is no 4% increase Angry, no one in the whole wide world is predicting a 4% increase, its a possible 1.5% increase which will take us to 4%. 

 

You made a big smarmy play about being good with figures Angry so go on how much does a possible 1.5% increase in goods take from a person earning 25 grand a year?

and they also have a level of discretionary spending that they can cut back on; poorer people are already spending every penny they can get on essentials. How would you explain to them that a rise in the cost of those essentials is a good thing?

 

You are using a miniscule 1.5 % raise in inflation to argue against approx 9% wage increases for the low paid Angry. 

 

Cant you see why most on the center and left (Biden for one) believe small temporary increases in inflation are far less important than wage rises, growth and employment?

I'm fine in my little world Angry, I'm up Aigburth next week to see my cousins for the first time in what seems an age because of this bastard Covid and I'm looking forward to it (not sure if they are though)

Anyway never mind your 4% inflation increase invention or your smarmy retorts, this is why pay rises are absoulutley essential now. 4 million British workers in poverty..

 

From a few years ago, 'low paid workers in retail, shops, hotels, hospitality fueling the increase' 

 

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/dec/04/four-million-british-workers-live-in-poverty-charity-says

 

Edit... and why Biden over the States is dismissing their 5.5 inflation rate and is going with jobs and growth..

As Greece burns to the ground and our sky's fill with smoke the International monetary fund and the European Commission can slap each over on the back for playing yet another fucking blinder....
