Apparently we're getting 9% ABOVE inflation

[ratchet]

On pay, the workers will get a 9% above-inflation increase, phased across the next three years.

True inflation is MUCH higher than we are led to believe. Cpi etc are doctored to suit the lies that the government puts out. Plus the BBC have it wrong, it's 9% rise not 9% above inflation with could be as much as a 20% rise. Lol

Very interesting thanks for that link. We are suffering from "stealth inflation" too, that's not mentioned either. Narrower bog rolls etc, these companies can only make things so small, once they have reached a certain point, inflation will be mad. Some reckon we are having 7% inflation today, NOT 2.5% or whatever it is.

At the end of the day we will be NO better off in three years time, maybe even worse off.
