That's crazy .... there's loads of water to bottle in Peckham Corporation Pop is almost free. Tastes fine here. No plastic to clutter the environment with.

It's going absolutely mental in road transport. When I set off cruising two months ago, £12 per hour was a fairly good rate for Class 1 Monday-Friday day work. By last week I was regularly being offered £15 per hour, this afternoon this text arrived on my rather funky Nokia. God knows where it will be by September when I go back to work. So, good riddance to the Vodka Wogs.

After years of denying that market forces, which control the prices in all sectors of economies (assuming no government intervention), had any effect on the wages of lower skilled workers, they had their notion disproved in spectacular fashion. They must be feeling pretty foolish now, I'd imagine.

They must be feeling pretty foolish now, I'd imagine. The Labour party despise working class people, which is kind of strange considering why it came into being. That's why so many midlands and northern working class constituencies turned to Boris in the last General Election. Labour have just been taken over by metropolitan wokes who hate working class people like me. I sometimes wonder if the direction of the Labour party is some cleverly thought-out Conservative plan involving mass infiltration. Certainly Brexit is the best thing that has ever happened to me in a working lifetime.

I pointed out ages ago that the circus industry has always been subject to competition from abroad. You are putting up a straw man to tilt at. As our resident economic expert what effect do you foresee on inflation etc?

I pointed out ages ago that the circus industry has always been subject to competition from abroad. You are putting up a straw man to tilt at. As our resident economic expert what effect do you foresee on inflation etc? Interesting question. The effect of lower paid workers being paid more will cause price increases, no doubt. In most cases the increase won't be significant because the cost of lower skilled workers is a relatively small proportion of the sales price for the goods or services in question. Hang on to your hats though, the injection of false money by a government unable to manage its financial affairs properly is the main driver of inflation right now. 2.1% was reported today, above the target. Expect this to rise further. As it rises expect the government to lie, U.S. style by describing the inflation as 'transitory'. It's no such thing, the drivers are real. Eventually the government will be forced to raise interest rates in an effort to stabilise the unacceptable inflation. All hell will break loose at this point. Many who have stretched themselves buying houses at hugely inflated prices will be unable to keep up with their mortgage payments. Defaults will be common, the housing market will crash in a way that made 2008 look like a day at the circus. It will then be realised that many mortgages are 'sub-prime', just like in 2008. Was it really sensible to calculate people's ability to pay their mortgages by assuming that rates would stay at a historically low rate for 25 years? Certainly not, but that's what's been happening. Next, a general negativity in markets together nobody having any money to spend will result in a spectacular recession. People will lose their jobs all over the place, even more houses will be repossessed, house prices will fall even further. People, having got used to the government paying for everything will demand the government 'bail them out' The government will refuse but the pressure of the demand will lead to the government collapsing. Next: A Labour government will be elected on the promise of 'investing for our future'. They will immediately bail out all the people who lost their homes because they borrowed more than they could afford. Bond prices will have increased to such a level that they are no longer an option. The Labour government will instead instruct The Bank of England to print and circulate a few trillion Pounds so that people can be bailed out and all public workers can get a decent pay rise. Naturally, the money printing will cause yet more inflation, wiping out the generous public pay settlements. What happens next is beyond my imagination. Remember, you heard it here first.

It did need some imagination but it's backed by a bit of an understanding about how one economic event can lead to a change in another. I could be wrong, it may go in another direction. One thing is certain though, governments can't go on spending sums vastly in excess of what they receive. There will be ramifications for this. The government won't pay the price it will be the people, of course.

Like imagining you have been given protection from 'the vaccine' yet are still afraid of those who haven't taken 'the jab' because they 'might be infectious'. It's still possible to get covid, just won't be as bad, also unlikely to get long covid. I'm concerned you'll spread it from you school kids to your loved ones, or has she had the vaccine? I'd rather not catch it, full stop. No major fear, like you with the vaccine, posting an incessant stream of nonsense.

Scientific name for irrational fear of 'Covid' and of 'antivaxxers' being infectious? No originality at all! Can't you come up with anything yourself? Oh fox of little brane.
