I just looked out window and the pig has just made it to Shropshire.

What inflation figure are they using, their's or the real one?!

You would think before they send this rubbish out that they do the math first! Several pigs have made it to the north east as well :-)
I signed an on line petition but dont have a response yet!

If you took the time to go to the websites for the Office for National Statistics and HMRC you would actually be able to demonstrate to yourself that the figures are correct.

OK. But only if you accept the underlying assumption that prices inevitably increase over time. If you don't accept that should be the case (most people don't because it means you run just to stand still in economic terms) then you're still paying more whatever the relative position. And you're paying more for just about everything else too. Relative comparisons mean nothing to the bloke who puts his hand in his pocket and finds too little there to fill the petrol tank.

I'm extremely envious, how come i still haven't recieved an acknowledgment to my e.mail to the chancellors office the day after the budget re. backdating of ved.
Do they have a reply reference ready reckoner to trot out the same boring spin year in and out? Are all politicians now really pre programmed and thoughtless androids, spouting the same doctored rubbish, no difference between any of 'em regardless of their allegiance.
Several of the pig squadrons flew low over the A14 early this afternoon too.

How true. But then you are assuming that people have the skills to do simple sums and then understand the concept of "real" prices. As you and I know, 95% of the people in the UK are poor at simple Arithmetic and the remaining 10% cannot be bothered to check figures given to them. [spot the deliberate mistake].
I have seen so called "economics" journalists on BBC calculate payback times for domestic wind turbines and heat pumps, and their complete lack of understanding of the concept of "discount rates" or "real rates of return" is shocking.
