Autumn statement on Thursday on 17:49 - Nov 23 by Catullus
Yes, Togg. Apparently though none of the bad things happening elsewhere is as bad as here and what happens here is all because of brexit.
Some people refuse to take into account the covid pandemic, the war in Ukraine, the Truss disaster or the fact that politicians have mismanaged this country for their own gain for the last 50 years and maybe more.
The rise in energy costs alone has very little to do with brexit and is mostly to do with Russia in Ukraine and then the oil exporters playing games to make more profit. It isn't a coincidence that along with record prices some people are making record profits which proves they are charging more than they should.
Corporate greed is causing as many problems as anything else. There is no disaster or hard time they will not exploit to make the rich people richer.
Yes energy prices were skyrocketing before this years ukraine invasion although Russia is a contributory factor most of these price rises are being driven by pure profiteering and greed at this point.
