STP, 100% correct. There are quite a few posts on social media that show that wages and 'official ' inflation has been around 10X over the last 50 years whereas in reality most things , especially house and food has gone up 30X +. Average wages have also gone up around 10X which is why there are so many people using food banks and complaining that they cannot afford uniforms or school shoes for their kids. It is shocking how we have destroyed our high wage industries and replaced them with low wage service jobs. that process will continue apace as we kill off our Oil and Gas and chemical industries as we chase net zero. Disaster for the average working person and very few politicians actually care.
