The Bank of England has only one solution to rising inflation – make workers pay

  1. Our debt levels mean increasing interest rates makes it really hard for the government.

    As I recall every 0.5% increase in interest rates means an increase in our debt repayments equal to our defense budget.

  2. It’s always “make workers pay”. Never the multimillionaires and billionaires, never the corporations sitting in record profits.

  3. I can’t “Pay” any more than I am already.
    how about one of these bellends sell their yacht?

  4. Inflation is the process of equalisation between supply and demand.

    Obviously making demand smaller by reducing peoples readily available cash.

    Anyone who was pro covid bailouts (in almost any form) is responsible for this.

  5. I know this is a big ask, but could someone explain inflation to me? I thought I understood it until I saw the Bank of England saying not to ask for big raises. Is that not part of inflation? If we don’t ask for raises does that not mean inflation is somewhat reduced at the expense of the workers?

  6. Is that a tacit admission that those at the top do not work? Or at least not as much as those lower down? The working class can only pay so much, which is becoming less as the wealthy, those who are doing their best to avoid paying taxes, are hoarding all of it themselves. Workers cannot pay when they barely get paid anymore.

  7. Surely we are crossing a point where loads of industries are fucked.

    No one will eat out or buy coffee as often. People won’t buy new furniture or tv’s.

    Without helping wages then the economy is going to die a death. Unless those billionaires start buying for everyone
