Don't know who will be classed as 1st world? Japan and USA?Already is a third world nation. As is most of the western world.
I don't think people are prepared or even aware that their standard of living is going to plummet soon.

Are you still on hold?just check the girlfriends energy bills and shell has her daily standing charge at 32.03p for gas and 55.69p for electricity. Shirley this is wrong?
currently on hold on the live chat.
Definitely not the US. The majority of Americans are thoroughly done with their country and quite frankly, I don't blame them.Don't know who will be classed as 1st world? Japan and USA?
Lol just noDefinitely not the US. The majority of Americans are thoroughly done with their country and quite frankly, I don't blame them.
A country that is self sufficient in food and energy would be considered a 1st world country. Russia anyone?
Inflation is being driven by high energy costs globally, businesses going bust here won't do much to stop that.Won't work though in a globalised world. Companies won't pay people more in the UK when they can get cheaper labour elsewhere. The Bank of England have also warned people not to ask for wage increases. Any widespread sign of this would be met with aggressive interest rate rises.
The only real option at this point is the natural one that we've seen before. Bankruptcy, job losses and repossessions. This will initiate mass demand destruction and start to bring inflation down. It should be noted that for every loser, there's a winner on the other side. Once the worst is over, I could only hope that people learn from their previous mistakes.
Lol. Complete rubbish.Definitely not the US. The majority of Americans are thoroughly done with their country and quite frankly, I don't blame them.

Businesses are about to go bust globally, just like COVID went global. Do keep up.Inflation is being driven by high energy costs globally, businesses going bust here won't do much to stop that.
Cap the energy costs (at a rate that still makes people reduce usage) and the main driving force behind inflation is put on hold. Deal with it longer term as a national debt rather than putting people on the streets.
Has anyone got a Tapo P100 Smart Plug and can tell me how much energy it uses just being plugged in with the appliance it's attached to turned off? I don't have a smart meter and don't fancy turning everything off for an hour!
Thanks...
From searching looks to be around 1.5watts. I only have three so think I’ll just leave them on.
I think the central banks have more of a clue about inflation than anyone commenting on this forum, so better just allow them to do their job and quit being an armchair expert.
If that was the case, the BoE would have advised the government and OFGEM of your inspiring thoughts. Obviously they haven't, proving that you know nothing about the subject.Cap the energy costs (at a rate that still makes people reduce usage) and the main driving force behind inflation is put on hold.

I think telling people on a discussion forum not to discuss things is the dumbest thing I have read on here in a while. Do you practice this stuff?I think the central banks have more of a clue about inflation than anyone commenting on this forum, so better just allow them to do their job and quit being an armchair expert.
Windfall taxes should probably also need to be applied to pharmaceutical companies who've made huge profits from the pandemic. I imagine they stand to make big money for the foreseeable too.Liz Truss at the hustings tonight saying no windfall tax on the energy companies - All the tory gammons in the audience were cheering
Not sure how the general public can be blamed for any of this (other than voting the Conservatives in).The public majority. Politicians and bankers have never been on your side. But people have to place some of the blame on themselves. The problem is that people have been led into a false sense of security over the past 15 years or so. The lie is finally being revealed, and it started with Covid-19.
