This is what happens when idiots are allowed to vote. They gave us Brexit and tories, these high prices are the result. Morons

The term 'inflation' means an increase in the 'money supply'. It's been deliberately hijacked for a while now to mis-represent a rise in prices whereas the truth is that the more the supply increases the less any given 'currency' is worth ergo if you flood a market with oranges the value of those oranges goes down. If there is a shortage of oranges then.........you get it. Currencies work in the same way so what may have cost £5 before the increase in money-supply will now cost £7.50 due to the currency being devalued (the market is flooded) ie you need more to pay for the same.
Now for the 'tin-hat' bit. They've known this would eventually happen since 1971 when Nixon unpegged the dollar from gold. Fiat currencies are always doomed to fail due to the inherent inflation which 'they' *the fookers who print the s---t) abuse to 'our' detriment.
They are deliberately destroying the last remains of a system died in 2008 but 'they' kept it chugging along with low/zero interest rates for over a decade now...........along with bail-outs for those who not only caused the crash but benefitted many fold from the abuse they once again blamed on the public.
We aren't taught about money/currency at school because if you were you'd be hanging them up by their fookin' balls!
A credit crunch in 2019 followed by a ton of s---t upon s---t upon more s---t? We're being fleeced.

There are no coincidences

Two questions, 1, How is money created in a modern economy, by a modern economy i mean one that uses computers?
2. who creates the money.
Answer to both questions is not the government. The UK government does not print money a private firm a significant part of which is owned by an American hedge fund does. The private firm is de la rue. 1/3 of all the banknotes in the world is printed by them. Ordinary people are being conned.
Bit coin is fiat currency owned and controlled by a few individuals.
I agree with you, the problem is some of them do not have any balls.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bitcoin is the best 'money' our race has ever invented. It cannot be printed from thin-air and distributed to 'their friends' at the expense of those who pay the interest.
People are continually told it's a scam by those that scam them? The world we live in

Bit coin has serious limitations, because it is not regulated. There are a limited numbers of coins, but there are more than one version of cyrpto currency. Bit coin is just a currency that the government does not attempt to regulated. So a currency where there is no democratic control of is the best invention ever. Power should be a widely spread as possible. John McAfee is a prime example of why any sensible person should keep clear of crypto currency. It is just the mantra of the cult of libertairianism. Where the unwise are told their have an unquestionable right to their opinion even if it is factual incorrect. Nobody has a right to be wrong..

Bitcoin is a con that will blow up sooner rather than later.

6.50 for a pint of Old Peculiar at the Londoner in Hamilton, NZ. Four of them, and the insurance premium on the toilet doubles.

Here in western France, a six-pack of decent quality 25cl beers costs six euros, whereas a 50cl "pint" in a "pub" costs around nine euros and a 25cl beer in a restaurant is six.

Fiat currency is authorised by central banks acting in tandem with national governments. Printing cash devalues the money supply and theoretically spreads the impact of any crisis across the global economy. The upside is that any sudden total meltdown is avoided; the downside is that the value of assets and debts diminish. It kicks the can down the road but nonetheless preserves the economic order enough for the system to stagger on so that future growth can redress any imbalances.

We've experienced a series of very serious shocks to the system in 2008, 2020 (pandemic) and now in 2022 (Ukraine) - these shocks are increasing in their frequency, and the prospects for future growth look increasingly poor, what with the Big One, the climate crisis, now looming. The interesting thing about that is that nobody, not even the wealthiest in the world, will be immune to its consequences.

Bitcoin is a digital Ponzi: play at your peril!

"Rip-off Britain": what do you expect from a culture so dependent upon class hierarchy - it's always been that way except for a very brief period following the Second World War, when the welfare state was constructed. A UN special rapporteur recently found that living standards in some parts of the UK are on a par with those in Romania - how is that possible in the C21st?

Good to see you've packed in the happy pills, Jonty. Have you got a prediction for the match, or should I just go and drown my sorrows now?

Oooops, apologies, Jonty, looks like Jazz has joined your fan club

Marschian, I think Jonty talks a lot of sense most of the time, but no need to apologise. I guess we all have the choice of being realistic in the way we see the world or not. One could certainly easily succumb to doom and despair if one allows the grim reality of human development in the C21st to penetrate one's consciousness.

The Chinese character for the idea of crisis is comprised of two characters, one denoting danger, the other denoting opportunity. There is great opportunity in times of great crisis. There is certainly the opportunity to effect fundamental change, so that the worst consequences of any crisis can be surmounted. I am optimistic because there are fundamental changes taking place in so many sectors of human activity right now.

Right, back to "the foot", as its referred to here. I am not streaming - it drives me mad. I'm listening to the commentary on LUTV. With a cold beer, of course.

ach Bamford off...

Bitcoin, a ponzi scheme by any other name.
