In other no shit sherlock news: 80% of us have been feeling the crunch for a while now, this is just extra shit sprinkles on top of a shitpie!
It’s not cost of living, it’s pure greed from the fat cats at the top.
I wouldn’t be surprised if in 6 months Tesco/Sainsbury’s/Morrisons/whoever announce record profits again.
Trump and Netanyahu are personally responsible for starting this war which will seriously impact on all of us being able to afford food. Do not forget this.
4/5? Who the hell has their heads that far in the sand to think otherwise? The BoE is literally telling us the worst is yet to come
I’m worried if I breathe too heavily or make a creaking sound walking up the stairs it’ll make food more expensive – every other god dam thing that happens seems to.
Whether or not the Iran war increases the cost of food is one thing – but do I think that companies are going to capitalise on it and use it as an excuse to price up? DEFINITELY. (We’re still feeling the “well COVID was a tough time for produce so prices have to go up”)
Food prices will go up for any excuse that can be used
Why aren’t farmers just fertilising their crops with Brawndo? It’s got electrolytes!
This has been going on for years. Blaming Iran war is just coming off as an excuse
Boycott American products/brands/companies.
Im astonished there hasn’t been a more prominent call for this, especially as we’ve seen it for Israel over the years.
Worried it will? No it already IS. I order roughly the same food shopping every three weeks and the last 2-3 months I have had to cut out more and more because the same things are more and more expensive each time. They sneak in a few extra pence here, maybe 50p there but it all adds up. I am getting less and less and eating less and less because I cannot afford it anymore.
They add the fuel and transport costs in not when it goes up but they pre-empt it even on things they have had in their warehouses for ages, not just fresh.
1 in 5 Britons not paying attention is the more interesting point.
And even if the Iran war never happened, prices would still go up anyway just because.
Not like giant corporations have been making record profits and pushing the blame else where for years now
Its just another excuse in another long line of excuses Cant have the shareholders going hungry. Prices have been creeping up for years. Don’t worry though there will be another one along shortly.
In WW1 & 2 Everyone had a Victory Garden up and running within weeks
