Unacceptable

[Arthur Little]

Poor AND elderly ... that's ME!

Joking aside ... you're absolutely RIGHT, Stevie ... it's a bloody disgrace ... and, as has already been pointed out - by you, Marco and others - a significant portion of the blame rests with the bods responsible for mismanaging this country's economy ... the politicians ... shrewd, yet incompetent, investment bankers like Fred Badwin &c. plus, of course, the omnipresent super-rich and powerful - NONE of whose extravagant lifestyles will these grossly over-inflated price rises make one whit of a difference to.

Hit the nail on the head Arthur. They are largely responsible for the mess we're in but they're never asked to pick up the tab.
They'll still be collecting the bonuses and we all sit back and do nothing.
Apathy Rules.

absolutely right has it not always been the case that the stinking wealthy rich rake it in from everyone under them and all the way to the bottom, and why do they get away with it, because if you got so much dosh you can get away with murder
