''Because of this crisis we are taking food from the hungry to give to the starving.''

so who are these hungry people who are having food taken away and what has it got to do with having to print money as part of the recovery from the GFC.

''I hope you've stocked up on your supply ''

I am not selfish - no stocking up at all - I buy food on a weekly basis with whatever is available.

The current situation of supply caused by pandemic/war has nothing to do with the printing of money when it was a necessity in recovery from the GFT.

The current Inflationary pressures will have to be controlled with monetary and fiscal measures.
Next MPC meeting not too far away

''The price of energy has risen because we don't want to buy it from Russia or pay for it in their currency anything else is a lie.''

The UK is not reliant on Russia

''It sometimes feels that way to erode the debt,''

the sort of statement that may come from the same people who said that the government control the BOE and will not let them raise rates due to higher interest on government debt.
People cannot have it both ways

''M1 money supply...... As is every other Govt complicit in the QE scam''

Not a 'scam', it is what has been required following the GFC.
We have recently had supply side issues coming out of pandemic along with high energy costs, exacerbated by the war started by Russia which may also impact the ability of Ukraine to export it's harvest.

''due to Tory policies in 2017''

You mean the government did not want tax payers to continue subsidising the high costs of maintenance and upgrades of storage.

No storage would mitigate any vast increase in Global prices .

''that wages have not kept up with inflation, as they haven't for decades''

What ball ox - real wages are a lot higher than in 1980.
There has been a small fall since the GFT

Mac
''The Tories have so far offered zero policies to deal with it ''

The main tool is monetary policy is set by the MPC of the Bank of England.
On the fiscal side government can cut spending and increase taxes.

No good comparing as if it is an exact comparison.

The basket of constituents and the weighting placed on those constituents can vary from country to country when calculating CPI.

''we've been forced to sell 24% of our shares and their value given back to us. ''

How many more times?
You were returned CASH siting on the balance.
Shares were NOT purchased from you.
Your original shares WERE consolidated

''Its. 5.53. Woodside shares. for. every. 100. BHP . Therefore. 18.1%''

??
NO - you will receive 1 Woodside share for every 5.534 BHP shares

Only another 1 or 2 top slices for me if it continues to rise, after which I would have sold a third of my holding that I had pre 2022.

CLS is now a REIT.

I have noticed that they are contemplating a tender offer due to the share price being well below asset value - they did tender offers every year at one time instead of dividend payments.
A good thing to do if the gap remains.
