Sting-flation

Who was it who said that if you repeat something often enough then people will believe it?
Big wage rises will be eaten up by inflation. Big wage rises will be eaten up by inflation. Big wage rises will be eaten up by inflation. Its on the BBC it must be true?
There are two types of people in the world. First there's rich people. That can be defined by someone who decides not to get out of bed and go to work tomorrow, or maybe the next day even or hey maybe the whole month. If they did that then nothing would happen to their lifestyle. Nothing. They eat the same food, go on the same holidays and drive the same car. That's what rich is.
Then there is me and you. We don't work we don't eat as much or as well. We earn less our children eat less or less well. We have to work and earn money to live.
So when inflation hits 3% then over a year our standard of living decreases by 3% so we could do with a 3% increase to stand still. Now you may feel like inflation is so much higher than 3%. That's because it is, because there's lots of things they don't include in the figures so its more like the 15% it feels like. Now your 3% wage rise gives you a realistic drop in standard of living of 10%. I expect that feels more like it?
Here's the clever bit (BBC Mantra Pending) "But unless we control wages then all your wage increase will be eaten up by inflation" Ah yes well that's if the rich want to make the same amount of profit then of course prices will go up. So maybe if they did not make as much profit then that would curb inflation?
The BBC criticised the unions at the London airport for calling a strike with a vote from only a third of the union membership. Err well on that basis if you include the people who with held their vote at the general election then the government which caused all this was elected on a much, much lower percentage of the electorate. Oh but they don't count us do they. The ones who decide to with hold our vote.
(BBC Mantra again) Well if the rich and the politicians are going to stay within 3% shouldn't we?
NO.
3%, 10% whatever means a lot to us. What does it mean to the rich? Nothing it makes no difference whatsoever. What does it mean to the politicians? Nothing because they are earning 100K of your money but here's the clever bit.
You, yes you. Mr curb your wage rise actually buy his shopping anyway. Ha Ha. oh and you pay for the taxi to take his Mrs shopping. oh and by the way you pay for his house and his TV and even his TV licence. So who cares whether inflation is 30% because its you who pays all the bills.
How funny is that?
So still wanna vote then?

The Madness of King Gordon

Who knows whether a British prime minister has ever been sectioned under the mental health act.
Last week Gordon Brown looked a little out of touch when he declared that Britain was not broken. He claimed our society was intact. well it might be OK in Westminster but if he had any kind of connection with real society he would know how it feels to lie in bed at night listening to yobs outside singing and causing damage. To move to even reasonably good areas and find that Britain's yob culture is spreading far and wide. Attend any dinner party now for the middle to senior age group and the talk is of how to get out and where to go. France, Spain anywhere but here. We give up fighting for it,bloody have it. Its all a bit like getting lodgers in who really piss you off so you move out and leave the lodgers.
Well lots of politicians are out of touch but Gordon decided to brush off criticism by saying he was busy getting on with running the country and helping to deal with the world economic downturn. In fact lots of other politicians repeated the same mantra. Trouble is they not only didn't say what they were actually going to do they did nothing.
But have no fear, Gordon may well be sectioned after recently declaring that he was going to go on and win the next general election, not only that wait till you see what he does when he comes back from his holiday in September.
No doubt the men in white coats will be waiting for him on his return.
