The Government are allowing business to 'profiteer' in order to make up for the (apparent) losses suffered under Covid.... it is nothing really to do with Ukraine (although that doesn't help) etc. but that gives them 'extra cover' with the public, with luxury goods you can make choices, with staples like food, energy, house costs etc you can't.
TBH cannot see it getting much better if Labour got in, the 'rot has set in' and it goes deep!
Agree with this.
I am a naturally positive person and tend to 'always look on the bright side of life'...
Having said that, there is not much to be positive about at the moment.
As you say, COVID and the war in Ukraine are being used as an excuse for everything. Especially by the government.
But it is blindingly obvious that the current high inflation, high interest rates and cost of living crisis is affecting the UK much more than the rest of our competitors, especially in Europe. And as we all understand, Brexit is having a major effect.
Nevertheless, these high prices are going to be with us and we will not see them back down to those before. That is for sure.
