    Import costs have gone up by 110% over the last 5 years coupled with 20% VAT, increased business rates and lower margins.

    Renewable energy. That's what I'm looking at now. Electricity prices to double in 5 years to take the average from £1000 per year to £2000 per year per average house. There's gold him them there hills.

          Food costs are rising


          General inflation is rising


          Wages are not rising


          How will the public be able to start spending when their disposable income is continously shrinking ?


          Here on the mainland diesel Germany/Belgium/Austria/France is about £1.05

          on a 60 litre tank average Joe in the UK will pay £21 per tank more than average Joe on the mainland

          if he tanks once a week, that will mean average Joe in the UK has £1000 per year less disposable income than average Joe on the mainland

          £1000 per year extra disposable income per hard working working would help the economy recover from the crisis


          and that's only diesel, not to mention of course food is cheaper on the mainland,

          I am always surprised how for many household items, the number on the price tag is the same in the UK as the mainland, excepting the currency is different

          and that folks, is why, recovery from the crisis, in the UK, is going to be slow

          good luck

          It is easy for the economy to recover.
          BoE can just print a few more notes and use them to buy debt certificates from anyone who want to borrow some money at an artificially low rate. The borrowers will spend the borrowed money on imported goods and then the GDP will show an increase.

          GDP increasing is the right way to measure economic recovery, right?
