Is this the third or fourth excuse in the last 5 or so years for the excessively rich to rinse the rest of us of more money and go off and hoard it? Isn't it time that the excessively wealthy did their part in this forever-"cost of living"-crisis?

    It's a shame every country affected couldn't sue the US and Israel for compensation.

    Let's not forget who was pushing for Britain to back this war and let's not let them forget it either.

    Things don't go back to "normal prices", prices will always go up (ideally) and your wages go up to balance.

    The issues we're facing at the moment is a pretty constant series of inflationary shocks and the controls governments and central banks have on trying to balance them tend to work on a much longer time scale resulting in sharp decreases in people's spending power.

    Food was horrifically underpriced before, as supermarkets fought price wars and drove many producers to ruin.

    Brexit has hit farming hard and Britain no longer benefits from the singe market.

    We’re in a very dry spell lasting over 18 months and the harvest will suffer greatly this year and for the foreseeable future until theres a very wet few years.

    So no, prices aren’t going back.

    The concept of "normal price" doesn't make sense

    Pretty glad I recently fixed my mortgage for 5 years at £200 a month less than it was, I bought the house shortly after Truss fucked the economy. Now I'll use that money to buy a potato.

    More seriously though food for the 2 of us is under £30 a week at aldi and we could cut back quite a bit if necessary.
