Think UK inflation is bad? Here are the rates in the EU...

TTL, those crayons, you're not supposed to eat them.

You are a out and out apologist for this bunch of wankers and allow me to do a copy and paste. With a few added tweeks.  Because in terms of numpties it has not changed since the last time I posted it.  The inflation rate in the UK is totally man made in Westminster by the most useless bunch of wankers ever to call itself a government. What exactly are you cheering for. The UK relies only on 4% of energy from Russia. The EU relies heavily, to the tune of 39%. And that could have been sourced from elsewhere by the UK. The UK’s stores hold enough gas to meet the demand of four to five winter days, or just 1% of Europe’s total available storage. The Netherlands has capacity more than nine times the UK’s, while Germany’s is 16 times the size. The Rough storage facility, owned by Centrica, the parent company of British Gas, provided 70% of the UK gas storage capacity for more than 30 years before it shut in 2017 following a government decision not to subsidise the maintenance and upgrades needed to keep the site going. And like covid. Despite having a exercise to find out what was needed. The total wankers in power failed to re act. Not to mention It was a matter of months after the closure of the Rough site that the UK’s energy operator, National Grid, issued a formal warning that the country did not have enough gas to meet demand during the freezing “beast from the east” storm which battered the UK in March 2018. Any problem is squarely and firmly at the door with Number 10 on it. Nothing to do with Covid. Or Russia.  And oh in terms of 4%.  See link from the wankers who call themselves a government,  you are a apologist for.  In terms what is bought in.  What part of it cannot be stored.  Translates to you it can.  In terms of inflation on other countries.  It was external factors  Not man made

Japan 3% - Australia - 7% - S. Korea - 6% New Zealand 7% Norway - 6.9% And covid was dealt with By Quantative Easing, which was added to the already £800 billion created by the BofE that this bunch of wankers have left for your grandkids grandkids grandkids to pay off. Of course this will not be delightful news, but ignored by apologists. If you have not worked out yet that Brexit is a disaster you are really are beyond repair. Pre Brexit.. The UK economy was 90% of Germany. It is now 70% and the UK reliant by 80% on servicing and banking. That is not trade. As the wankers rant about deals that were already in place. And as you whoop in joy and delirious that some Johnny Foreigners inflation rates are higher than the UK. Caused by external not man made factors. The worse their economy becomes the worse the UK becomes. Trade only accounts for 20% of the UK economy. New car sales have by 30% since the end of transition. . Not to mention the UK has no schedule of concession to do trade deals with the WTO. It is a small insignificant minnow in a sea of sharks. As you are finding out. But not registering. Indeed the exact opposite, in total denial. As you keep blaming imaginary enemies. Lefties, Teachers, Doctors, Trade Union who look after nurses. Now the enemy of the state. Who will they fill your head with next. Unmarried mothers. Long while since they were to blame for all the ails of England. All that is happening is down down to righties. End off. You better hope Sunak does not upset the EU. And they finally stop passporting. It came close under that homophobic serial lying clown Johnston. And why Danger Mouse JRM and Redwood moved their loot to the EU. This is how they make there money. As you swallow their fanny hook line and sinker.

You do understand that you have to reduce the deficit before you start paying off the debt?

That is why the EU demanded austerity from EU members.

I'm not blaming Labour for the financial crisis entirely, but they did ignore the irresponsible lending that was going on.  That being said, ignoring the HUGE debt we were left with, and claiming there was any other way than austerity is just bonkers.  Without that austerity the situation now would be even worse!!  Fuck knows what we are going to do now, because the opposition parties have made the issue so toxic that living within our means is now impossible.

It comes down to this.  Your havering slastering insults and waffle that the UK did not rely on Russia with only 4%. Despite the fact confirmed by your own government.  You are still in denial. Or the fact that the Uk could not store enough even for the beast from the east. And still in denial. Now there you go again calling me a liar despite the fact I shoved the evidence right in your face and from your own government. You are totally wrong and just plain not going to admit it. Life gets sad when you lie to yourself.  And know it. Not to mention After 12 years  how long does the present wankers need to get it right. We could start with Enoch Braverman as she invents enemies to distract you.  And you missed out anti English again.  

No they didn't lol.

Austerity was an EU policy, if you broke their financial rules, you faced big fines or being thrown out.

Here we go, Keynesian Economics would have solved everything.  Tell me then, why did the EU and literally no country use it?  They all went with austerity.

It like me saying if we had all eaten spinach, nobody would have died from COVID, and then arguing that you cannot prove me wrong because nobody tested it lol.

Correct, EU deficit rules here:

The UK was part of the Growth and Stability Pact and was also subject to EU deficit rules.
