Stop it, it’s not personal it’s not about you he is just like that, life being short you may find it’s improved by putting him on ignore instead of demanding he do it for you.
A thank you to Brexiteers.

Why don't you take ownership of this, put Pickman's Model on ignore, and have nothing further to do with him? That would at least spare us the kind of bickering between you that's going on right now.
Oh dear. Thanks to those pay rises, here comes inflation. Hope someone's got a pithy reply to fend it off with.

You either haven't read or haven't understood the material you posted; go and have (re)read of what they are actually saying.

Appreciate the concern but I've understood it fine, thanks.

You will be able to point to where the BoE report cites increased wages as the driver for their inflation forecast, rather than higher prices for energy and goods from abroad, which is what they actually refer to.

A refreshing change from trying to pin the blame on Covid then. And with the UK having less than 1% of Europe's gas storage infrastucture, and you probably don't see Brexit paying a role in escalating energy price rises either, right?

The UK used to have access to European storage capacity. Come on, this isn't complicated.

Pure Brexit!

Its a mixture of a lot of things including Pandemic, and Brexit. But reapplying to join EU won't fix it.

A lot of countries in the EU and elsewhere are experiencing near-identical labour shortages and corresponding pay rises, it seems to have more to do with people being sick with long COVID than with how many immigrants their governments have kept out, so I don't Brexit should be celebrated for creating wage rises - or blamed for inflation by tight-fisted companies trying to avoid raising wages.
But Britain does seem in store for higher inflation than its neighbours, according to a Reuters forecast.

That is not from the Bank of England and it doesn't even say that wage increases to date have caused the current rise in inflation. You are really not getting this are you...perhaps there's a hole in your spoon?

We've seen a decade of wage rises so moderate people in the public sector - the people who do the work anyway - are on between 3/4 and 4/5 of what they were paid in real terms in 2008. And in a year it'll be 7/10-3/4

Brexit hastens the dominance of Sinn Fein in the North of Ireland and pushes forward a United Ireland free from British imposed borders. A good day. Northern Ireland first minister resigns over Brexit checks on goods
