RMT at it. Who's next? How big a pay rise will public sector workers and key infrastructure bods squeeze on to help keep inflation stoked.

Johnson has told everyone we need to have a high wage society, what else could he expect other than endless strikes to get it, the mans a complete turd!!Will be a Winter of Discontent
I fully expect rioting by August too
We ain't seen nothing yet
Maybe Johnson should have thought of that before opening his big mouth & putting ideas into peoples heads!High wages only work if productivity rises. These train drivers etc aren't more productive. And the bankers etc who used their services to commute to London are still only using 80 percent of pre COVID transport.
Tbh the RMT don't exactly need much if a reason to strike.Maybe Johnson should have thought of that before opening his big mouth & putting ideas into peoples heads!
There's an awful lot of workers with very good reason to strike now I would guess!Tbh the RMT don't exactly need much if a reason to strike.
There seems to be a lot of resentment in the UK about even being asked to go back to their place of work. Which can't be good when you already have one of the lowest productivity rates in the developed world.There's an awful lot of workers with very good reason to strike now I would guess!
What reason? That the govt pumped loads of money in to keep everything ticking over during COVID and now it's payback?There's an awful lot of workers with very good reason to strike now I would guess!
Fake newsI heard that @bobk is witholding his grain for higher prices
Also withdrawing his money from fertiliser market to force the market down
Leftie fecker.
perhaps. When the full impact of the cost of living inflation has been felt, that's when the problems will appear. Wage inflation is a terrible thing but understandable of course, but the "vicious circle" will at "full steam" by then. The Ukraine issue is having a far worse effect on world economics than the pandemic ever did. folk speak about China causing economic issues, but its not in their best interests to engage in a trade or supply war. Its only in situations like Ukraine which is "forced" on an economy where real issues rear their head. the world need to solve the Ukraine crisis and also be rid of a certain individual causing all the problems. Inflation is a dreadful economic disease.Will be a Winter of Discontent

May make 2008 look like a stroll as wellKeep saying it on here and elsewhere, people have no idea what it's going to be like. Recession of 22 will make partygate look like a stroll in the park.

The big question is where to put savings that is safe. I have a fair chunk in a life assurance policy and in a few isa and ordinary savings, perhaps government bonds might be saferLooks like dot com burst again with the stock markets. Still quite a few zombie companies hanging on from covid. It's personal debt exposure that's the killer. Many many pay day loan companies, credit card companies etc (including banks). could go under in a very short time if theres massive defaults due to cost of living crisis.
Agree, housing crash or major correction coming too.Looks like dot com burst again with the stock markets. Still quite a few zombie companies hanging on from covid.
