It's quite simple really.The inflation rate is based on the price of things you don't really need and things that have gone down in price due to cheap Chinese imports.
Every thing you do need like food gas electric and water are not included in the figures Oh and petrol.
This all because we are deemed to be thick by all political parties.Who are guided by over- paid civil servants,Permanent secretarys.secretarys to them and under secretarys to them.None of whom can type.

Rant over

Remember that Brown has only postponed this.

I’d like to think that it was out of compassion, somehow I reckon it’s linked to the up and coming by-election in Glasgow

And the 20p tax hike is still on the statute books....rebates,I am led to believe are on the cards, but, the legislation is still there to impliment in full if Darling Alister chooses to use it.

Its not enough to defer the 2p increase it needs to start coming down.
Does Gordon think by doing this that all is forgiven?

What people don't seem to realise and nothing much is ever made of it is that this country are around £22 billion in debt and that the trade gap is now between £50 and £60 billion, the Brown ship is in stormy waters and there doesn't seam to be anyway out but floundering on the beach

Not to forget that the Labour Party is close to Bankruptcy, so much for prudence Brown!

Ah but the price of gold has gone up since Mr Brown last sold some, maybe he's thinking of selling some more.

Jackyalex, do we have any reserves left? I thought he had got rid of it all.

Slight thread creep, love your dog's photo, we used to have a German Shepard as well, sadly died last year.
