Pay rises outstripped by inflation

Green Politics

The latest inflation figures show that pay rises are being outstripped by inflation.

The ONS has released the inflation report for this month. It’s up again, although not as much as recent increases:

The Consumer Prices Index (CPI) annual inflation grew by 2.8% in February 2013, up from 2.7% in January. The change in the rate follows four consecutive months when it stood at 2.7%.

The upward pressure came mainly from increases in gas and electricity bills and from price changes for some recreational goods, motor fuels and air transport.

By comparison, wages are rising at an average of just 1.5 per cent.

    That’s right, you want to crub-stomp the poor while pouring ever-more cash to your rich. You keep trying your wanting to push off ignoring the abuse by the rich onto me.

    And you keep claiming I’m your hired thug. It’s your far right who clash with police a lot, in reality. Keep up your “mark” nonsense.

    Of course you keep claiming that it’s “avoided”.

    And of course you consider yourself a regular millionaire in your “flat”. Keep on trying to hide your shilling for your rich. You keep on attacking to try and hide under your rage the wage drops for the 99%.

    The time to prattle on about a a triple-dip is when it actually happens. And Newsbot acts like he quivers in anticipation. He wants to be right for once.

    I don’t consider myself a millionaire, nor do I hate them either. I don’t care who gets rich as long as the little guy has a nice deal too.

    There we go – Newsbot includes violent benefit addicts amongst other normal people who have only fallen on hard times.

    And anarchists have ‘clashed’ with police on a more widespread scale than anyone you call far-right. Look at those brutal riots across Europe and England not so long back. Anarchists and other left wing brutes fuelled and excused those.

    That’s right, you want to suppress the discussion for now.

    And I see, too poor for you. Got it. Keep seeing your mere tens of millions as the “little guy”.
