Not blaming illegal immigrants, we haven't got the infrastructure or money to deal with them.mjd24 wrote: ↑25 Apr 2023, 08:13Do you really think asylum seekers or “illegal immigrants” are the biggest problem or cost facing our country? Also perhaps if we let more of them settle here and get jobs they could contribute to our society and tax system.milly wrote: ↑25 Apr 2023, 07:29I'm not blaming immigrants, as usual you try and misrepresent what I am saying.LouBarlow wrote: ↑25 Apr 2023, 07:04It has been a while since you blamed immigrants or asylum seekers for the problems in this country. Why not mention Brexit instead?

We still be short but do know that times are hard for all. Inflation is a benchmark of a basket of goods and consumables like fuel and gas and services and if as was the case it reached 11% in September last year 2022 but before that around April was 6%. The imposed pay was not reflective of the true cost of living at the time but some never get a pay rise but a good start would be a better deal than the one on the table!
Anytime something in the basket of goods becomes expensive they replace them with something cheaper.
Food inflation is easily up 40% in the last year.
Inflation will be around for a long time as it is a deliberate Government policy to inflate away the National Debt.
The UK population are in for a massive drop in living standards in the next few years.
Do you get your "facts" from the Government.
I wonder if any of these events caused the inflation.
I take it you would take control of the economy with some austerity!
We don't have the money to house these people or pay for their welfare, the money is borrowed into existence because we don't take enough tax in to pay for them, this is inflationary.
Not sure what Brexit has to do with anything many EU Countries have worse inflation than the UK.
Tell me Lou where do we get the money from to pay for all of these extra people?
Deficit spending saddles future generations with debt but you don't care about that so long as you can virtue signal.
Its so easy to keep blaming the “migrants”, and people who do are so obviously brain washed into these views by the Daily Mail, Express etc
The same people who complain about inflation are the same people who think the Government should keep borrowing unlimited amounts of money to pay for unsustainable amounts of immigration.
