The Con government is doing its best to make pollution worse.
Those massive queues at Dover that brexers claim don’t exist….are back

Says the person that admits to a hundred trips to London from Greenock just to visit friends and family. You didn’t care about pollution then so why is it on your radar now?
they come here for the empty supermarket shelves and corrupt govt -makes them feel at home.
Like a fart in a hurricane around here though, compared to The Smoke
Interesting to note though, from your linked article.
I can speak from personal experience about a few of the locations listed, and can tell you exactly who "caused" the logjams.
Yep - the lackwits who "upgraded" the junctions, then stuck lights all over them, turning them into temporary carparks.
Wrong.
That is not a claim I have ever made.
It is, however, a lie you have repeatedly told.
Tells us more about you, than about me.
Am I right in thinking that the rate of inflation graph that you presented does not show the cumulative effect of higher inflation rates?
If the inflation rate is based on the difference of this year's prices compared to last year, that's a simple rate. It doesn't show the cumulative effect of year-on-year inflation rates.
Rather like an annual interest rate does not show the year-on-year cumulative effect of compound inrterest.
I will try to show a theoretical example of the "compound" inflation rate.
A 10% increase on something costing £10 would indicate a £11 price the following year (year 2), and if this rate was maintained, the next year (year 3) it would be £12.10. By year 10, that £10 item would cost £23.58
If the annual inflation rate was just 5%, then that £10 item in year 1, would cost £15.51 by year 10.
So simple annual inflation rates do not show the true picture.
Of course this was a simple and theoretical example.
But a sustained greater inflation rate for country A, compared to country B has a long term effect.
It's just not that simple. (s'cuse the pun)
i believe you why would anyone want to go back to Greenock
As you say, the cumulative effect of Britain's higher inflation is even worse.
And also, a drop in inflation does not mean that prices are going down. Only that they are rising less quickly.
Savings and bank balances have been badly hit.
Can someone explain it to fillyboy?

Why inflation is falling but prices are still rising
We report this percentage every month but here are three things you may not know.
www.bbc.co.uk
Occasionally prices will fall very slightly compared to the previous month, but they are much less likely to fall year-on-year.
That's all I ever claimed, that it is possible to have a monthly fall.
Your assertion is not true. Never has been
Yawn. Another swerve. How predictable. Say it enough times and even you will start to believe yourself.

What qualifications did Boris have and Sunak?
